Hi Johan,
Afirmative, all ports are stereo.
the folowing text explains much better and with exact description though, from
the developer website:
Virtual Audio Cable software allows you to transfer audio (wave) streams
between applications and/or devices.
It creates a set of virtual audio devices named "Virtual Cables", each of them
consists of a pair of the waveform input/output devices. Any application can
send audio stream to an output side of a cable, and any other application can
receive this stream from an input side. All transfers are made digitally,
providing NO sound quality loss (a bitperfect streaming).
VAC behavior is similar to "What You Hear" (or "What U Hear", "Stereo Mix")
feature of Sound Blaster Live! and Audigy cards. But it is only similar, not
equivalent. If you simply need a function like "Stereo Mix" under Vista/Win7,
there could be better to try to enable it in your audio adapter.
If more than one applications are sending audio to Virtual Cable device, VAC
mixes all streams together. If more than one applications are receiving audio
from Virtual Cable device, VAC distributes the same audio data among all
targets.
VAC is useful to record application's audio output in real time (audio player,
instant messenger or software synthesizer), or transfer a sound stream to
another application processing it. You can, for example, use two or more
software audio players/generators/synthesizers/sequencers to produce audio
streams, sending them to Virtual Cablet device and record a mixed stream from
the same Virtual Cable device, using any recording software - Windows Sound
Recorder, Audacity, Sound Forge, WaveLab, Adobe Audition (formerly Cool Edit
Pro), Gold Wave, Cakewalk/Sonar, Cubase/Nuendo etc.
With an ASIO wrapper like ASIO4ALL from Michael Tippach, you can use VAC in
ASIO supporting applications.
If you use an audio encoder application that encodes a stream coming from a
sound card, you can use VAC to supply such encoder with a stream produced by
other application.
You can use VAC to capture an output sound stream from the application that
doesn't allow to write it into WAV file directly. Unlike Total Recorder
allowing you to simply save audio stream, VAC allows to route it in real time.
If you are using some Voice Over IP (VoIP) and/or Internet Telephony
applications like Skype, you can use VAC to record your calls and conversations.
VAC needs no hardware audio card; it is a "virtual audio card" itself.
I Hope this description help clarify some doubts.
Best regards,
Rui Vilarinho

Thnak for your great support friend.
But can I than after addjusting this select 1 audiotrack and record in
Stereo? My broadcasting recordings will be in stereo off caurse.
Regards and I look for it.

Hi Johan,
After VAC instalation executable, open the VAC control pannel and select how
many cables you will gonna need.
Exist some options that you can adjust, depends of the version you are using.
I only needed to select how many cables to work with, the version I bought
is the most completed and last version, since the VAC control pannel was
quite well configured by standard.
Than you can close VAC control pannel.
Note: Windows will recon and will show VAC as a sound card within sounds
control pannel.
Therefore, some multimedia softwares will also recon and will show VAC at
their output sound port.
For exemple: Winamp, Skipe, SoundForge, Sonar, etc.
Concerning Sonar configuration; is supposed to be like any other soundcard
instalation and Sonar recon.
BE sure that you check the VAC driver; in Sonar Audio options, in
drivers page. .
Apply and do ok.
If you go to the same audio options, now in general page, it must show
playback and recordingthe VAC ports.
Well, then, just consider this VAC ports as any other one's.
At any audio track of any Sonar project, you will find within the input
and output, the quantity of virtual cables you define in VAC control pannel.
regards,
Rui Vilarinho

Rui,
Can you tell me step by step how to install it and configure it in Sonar.

VAC is suppose to be used if you want some of those connections through
inside virtual ports. this way we dont need so many external equipment.
Nice you find a good way and your glad.
Good broadcasting,
Rui Vilarinho

Hi Rui,
Ok but i use a ecler stereo clubmixer for recording.
I play the winamp tracklist from pc richt in my ecler mixer and the mic
is connected also to the ecler mixer.
the mixer is connected to the focusrite audio-interface and with an usb
connected to the pc.
what I will do is record the music from a channel of the Ecler mixer to
sonar and the mic that connected to the ecler also in sonar.
that is easyer to work you know.
regards
Johan

Hi Johan,
Virtual Audio Cable will create a bunch of virtual ports if needed,
like a soundcard.
By standard already works,i find it straight forward, the interface is
very accessible.
Therefore, as exemple: if you select in Winamp Virtual Audio Cable 1 as
output, and within Sonar you select the same Virtual Audio Cable 1 as input in
a audio track, and your microphone in another audio track all streaming will
be recorded in each specific audio track.
I prefer to ppoint winamp to one audio track, and my microphone to
another audio track where I can use independent equalization and compressing,
if you also want to record Jaws, you can select within Jaws soundcard a
diferent virtual audio cable 2, , and point Jaws to another audio track;all
pointed to the masterbus where you can insert a multiband, limiter, etc.
Note: To listen winamp and your mic, etc, recording must be made with eco
ecco on,
use control A.
In adition, if you have a Daw controler like the BCF 2000, wile your
recording you can make some adjustments in real time with faders, or mute , etc.
In the end of recording you can make some adjustments and export all
project as a single audio track.
But, let's say that you really really want to record straight way within
sonar to one same audio track!
Go to the masterbus output and select for exemple, Virtual audio cable 3.
And at the track view in one more audio track, select the same virtual
audio cable 3 as input.
Record all streaming. Well, in the end, if you select to play this last
audio track exemple, it will be that single track you mention.
You got to export it also right? or, you can go get it at the audio
project folder though.
regards,
Rui Vilarinho

Hi,
In my studio, I have a unit for recording for radio broadcasting.
so, is it possible in Sonar to record your program in a one single
audiotrack?
I use winamp for editting my playlists and Rui was given me a hint to
use virtual audio cable.
How works this and is it easy to use.
