Hi all
I've tried googling this and seem to get a lot of confusing results and I'm not sure they are answering the question I'm asking.
My question is, can I record two interfaces at the same time in Cubase?
I've only got one dedicated interface, which only has 1x XLR and one Jack input, so I can't record mics or guitars in stereo. It's also quite buggy. But I have an interface on my keyboard which is great (the piano left and right sounds spatially correct), an interface on my guitar modelling unit also in stereo, and my vocal effects unit as well. I thought it would be great to, for example, be able to record both the keyboard and the vocals at the same time with their respective interface inputs, but seems I can't do it.
There seems to be some possibility via asio4all which I need to keep reading until my stupid brain understands it. I already have to use that with my interface and the modelling unit, but think I've only been able to use one or the other and had to switch between them.
To get around this before I bought a desktop manual recording thing (Boss BR something) but that was an even bigger faff to get doing what I wanted
Any thoughts in simplistic language would be great!
Thank you

But even allowing for a two xlr/jack combi input interface, i wouldn't be able to record keyboard and vocals in stereo at the same time. Watching a video now about asio4all to see if my tiny brain can grasp it

I'd say 90% of my music time is spent pissing about with music tech that doesn't work so it's not really any different to add a bit more
Not to worry, if Asio4all can't do it I'll just have to make do

windows no.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Hoping I can try Asio4all later but now of course I can't find the power supply to the vocal effects thing which has ended up in my tearing the room upside down and undoing all of the tidying i've been doing this last week. FML

Getting the TC Voicelive working over usb was also a bit of a pain in the arse but got there and that did show up on the Asio4all. Oh well

Used Asio4all, made sure there was input buses set up for both, and boom.
Unfortunately, my Yamaha keyboard doesn't show up in the asio4all list, so my next step is to test whether my Digitech GSP1101 can be added in the same way as the Voicelive and Fast Track, and if so I'll have to create an empty direct preset and put the keyboard outputs through the stereo effects loop return and record it that way.
The cheapest 4 input interface I can find is a Behringer one at £99, which is more than I can justify spending on my vanity project at this time, though it would make things easier albeit not much less cabling.
