FA-101 mixing - help

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hello everybody,

I just purchased an Edirol FA-101. I am very pleased with the hardware.
Solid and compact construction, power supply via Firewire, enough i/o
for my needs...

The software supplied with the card on the other side, is so basic that
is almost laughable. Edirol supplies a CD-ROM with just the drivers
(ASIO and WDM). It is not possible to control the FA-101 from the
Windows mixer so I can't set the input gains directly via the Windows
mixer. There is no way to set up any routing (even very basic ones).
Even the most basic SoundBlaster has software that offers more
functionalities.

I usually use Audition but because Audition does not have a mixer that
controls the interface, I cannot set the input gains.

I sent an e-mail to Edirol... no answer yet.

I would really like to keep the FA-101 but as far as I can see, the
only option I have is to return it back to the shop.
Do you have any suggestion/idea?

Thanks for your help,
Silent Fly
