Mac OS X aggregate device experience?

MaxMSP

Hiya,

I searched the Forum for info about using aggregate audio devices
with MaxMSP, but couldn't find anything useful.

I'm just wondering if anyone has tried this and how it worked before
I go spend money on interfaces...

Thanks, Ean

I've used it with success in MaxMSP - using an Emagic USB 1.1 Soundcard (2
ins, 6 outs) and a USB>XLR adapter for my mic. Using the aggregate audio
device editor in Audio/Midi setup in OS 10.4, I now had a 3 in, 6 out
soundcard. It even let me "clock down" the USB>XLR adapter to 44.1k (it's
48 K by default.) Pretty freaking cool...

Hi Ean

I've hooked two Motu's 828 mkII. And it worked like a charm. It gave me 44
outputs.

sound on sound has a article too about aggregated devices:

good experiences here, too.

RME HDSP96/52 + DIGI96/8-PAD

Works like a charm.

The only time I found it a bit dodgy was when I built an aggregate device with both cards and Soundflower (16 ch). It was easy to get into pops and crackles on the Soundflower channels -- but that could be my machine. Instead, I routed one lightpipe from the 96/52 back into the 96/8, and it works great.

Cool. Thanks everyone.

And the best part, it's not my money!
