This is what I envisioned the MPC X could do..

I have no clue why Akai cannot do what is in the video without load a vsti in a DAW..

Maybe this has already been seen but why we can't have usb audio..

I would love audio over USB too or even audio over Ethernet Dante. Not sure if there is any reason this can’t be done.

Sorry, I thought we just got audio over USB with the last update...? I haven't tried it yet because I don't use that in my set up.

Crazy doesn't make sense to use another audio interface to do what the interface built into the MPC..

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the OP?

2.10 Supports usb soundcards. Ones that meet the specs needed by the software that is. I have some bullsh*t dj-io usb interface laying around that works. However my mixdeck express lacks any inputs so it fails to recognise...

But your love or X have a sound card built it should be able to do the same without spf

Because Dante isn't free and would've added another $500+ to the price of the MPC if there's even room left inside for the controller card? The price difference between my Ferrofish Pulse and the top end Ferrofish DX is $1100. Thats the Dante interface and license. Sorry but nobody is paying $2000 for the MPC Live or One just for an ethernet interface.

Dante is not exactly "plug this into your computer and go" either. Do you have an interface at the other end that supports Dante? Without the rest of the hardware in place, you're going to use the latent as hell 'Virtual Soundcard' to route everything in the computer to your DAW? Yeah have fun with that.

Just say it can only do 8 outs into daw from akai audio card im fine with it but let it be through ASIO driver.. im fine over USB or ethernet im fine with it but to record back to the MPC through another audio card is crazy when akai comes with one...

This would be ideal; standalone with 32 tracks of audio out to DAW via USB.

Hunting down a compatible interface with 32 digital outputs just to feed my existing interface wasn't working.

I settled on using the plugin now that it works in Studio One again. But it's clumsy compared to working in standalone (hard or software).

Wish there was an explanation on why it's not possible . My thoughts is the on-board processor can't the load..

Would you be happy with an explanation like, "it's not possible because we considered the costs and benefits, and decided to spend our developer hours on something else."

That most likely would be the response.. stick to standalone
