Hey! I have an audio interface with a microphone plugged in. I have a multi effect pedal also working as an interface with a guitar plugged in. I can plug my headphones into the audio interface and use direct monitor to hear my microphone without delay. I can do the same on the pedal to hear the guitar. However, I can't hear both without delay. Is there any way I can do some ASIO routing in coconut to hear the two inputs at the same time?

[@sandroidmusic]

You could create a VASIO device that combines both devices and add a delay to the device that reacts quicker. (check at 16:42 of the video). The nature of these software solutions sadly always introduces some form of delay. Even if windows were to introduce aggregate devices as a native feature, this would still be the case. So the only solution available to you, is to compensate on the faster devices through a delay.

[@jackrorystaunton4557]

How do you save a preset? `Save Preset As` is grayed out for me :(

[@sandroidmusic]

Right-Click inside the Routing/Patch-Zone -> Store All Grid in Selected Preset

[@norsihab]

I try for cakewalk.. and no output sound on mastering... How to setting output?

[@sandroidmusic]

Hi, sorry i have no experience with cakewalk, but if you want to output the master, you'll probably have to make sure that two VASIO channels go back out to your actual/real audo device/interface.

[@norsihab]

@@sandroidmusic How do I do it... I've succeeded before. But after I tried setting it a second time I couldn't. I don't know if I forgot or something. Please help

[@norsihab]

Thank now ITS work.. Thanks
