Problem

You're connected to the core via USB to a Windows machine and expecting multi-track audio but only receiving two tracks (stereo).


Causes

You may not have ASIO4ALL installed, or the settings are incorrect in either the audio application or QDS. 


Solution | Workaround

  1. ASIO4ALL must be installed. 
  2. Check that WASAPI is selected rather than MME in your audio application settings (I.E. Logic, Pro Tools, Audacity).
    1. Audacity is being used in the following example.
    2. MME is the default selection and will only allow two track recording.

  1. Changing it to WASAPI will enable multi-track.

  1. The settings in QDS must also reflect a multi-track option.
