I am wanting to record some drums tracks in the near future using cool edit pro 2.0. I would like to record four tracks simultaneously. At my disposal I have multiple old isa and pci consumer grade sound cards (of different brands), and two computers.
I was thinking of installing both sound cards in one computer. However, I understand that this could introduce sync problems between the two sound cards. Posts on this forum seem to advise against the two soundcard method because of the potential sync problems. Can the sync offsets be corrected within cool edit?
My other thought is this:
Is it possible to slave two computers running cool edit pro together using smtp or midi timecode for recording?
I could record to both computers simultaneously, save the resulting wave files and bring the wave files from the second computer back to the original computer via CD-R or ethernet. If this is possible, would I need to run midi cables from both computers into a midi keyboard or other device? I'll admit I'm a relative newbie when it comes to midi and timecode.
Any thoughts or other potential methods of doing this would be apprecieated.
obviously buying a single 4 or 8 input sound card would make my siutaution much easier, but this is just something I am doing for fun and I can't really justify the cost.

| While I've never had a computer with 2 soundcards installed, I know people that do and have, and they havent' had any ... OK MANY ... problems. I believe that if you can get the cards to see each other and are on different IRQ's it should work. I haven't heard any ... OK MANY |
