Using the MultiMix USB2.0 with Sonar
and other WDM applications
Choosing the MultiMix as your audio device
1. Choose the menu “Options” | “Audio….”
2. On the “General” tab, select any available Alesis USB Audio
channels as the Playback and Record timing masters.
This discussion uses
Cakewalk’s Sonar software,
but the principles provided
here apply to all WDM-based
recording software.
Choosing the MultiMix as
your audio device
Unlike ASIO, WDM allows
multiple audio devices to be
used at the same time.
However, doing so can cause
all sorts of synchronization
problems. Therefore, we
suggest that you use the
MultiMix as your sole audio
input/output device.
