I am working on Mac Pro osx 10.4, I have not tried the two different soundcards option, we use the multichannel sound card for our recordings.
the OSX audio system does have a system to join two different soundcards -open Audio MIDI Setup (usually in the Utilities folder) -then open the Aggregate Devices Editor from the Audio menu - here you can create a new device, select which will be the
master clock etc -this new device can then be selected and used in the usual manner
hey, that is cool to know (as a non-osx user, i wouldn't have expected something like that to exist, but i think, i know quite some people who could benefit from that). just in case you know: do you have an idea how this system deals with the fact, that each of this cheapo soundcards have their own clock? does it use one as the master clock and does apply a samplingrate conversion to the other in order to sync it? i am asking, because i would like to know, if any decrease in sound quality is expected when you use aggregate.
