is that possible?

sonar, minihost, and chainer tie up the soundcard.

sonar has a "share drivers with other programs" option but i guess i just don't get it cuz it doesn't work for me.

FL Studio imports mp3 files. once in you could jam with them.

Load the MP3 into an audio track in your host? If your host doesn't load MP3 then convert it to WAV first.

mp3players (WMP, winamp, wha evah) don't use ASIO drivers, afaik there shouldn't be a problem...

You can use MP3Play or xtal in your host, if it doesn't support MP3 natively.

Yeah, use MP3play in one channel in Chainer, then load up your instrument in the second.

Another option would be dmi's VST>Winamp bridge that allows you to sync Wianmp to your song host position (IIRC)

even though you may ignore me Politicat, you can easily do this in Sonar. If I am making a cover version of a song I just load up the MP3 and play right along with it.

mp3play...plays fine in my host sonar, but it seems to interfere with the synth (i get no sound). also, midi notes are mapped to stop/play etc and mp3play gets stopped (or whatever) unintentionally.

is there a way to disable the midi notes being sent to mp3play? (i cud't find one) and what about the interference(?) with the synth?

ok, but...well, you know.

about your suggestion...i've been loading songs into a track that way, but when i just want to jam on a vst synth i need an easy way to have a song list play automatically. i also like to jam to streaming stations.

sonars share drivers option should do it for ya. I am able to use WMP even with out that option ticked tho...

What sort of soundcard do you have? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have any of those kinds of problems with either of my computers, even on the on-board sound-chips.

yeah, I can run itunes or whatever in the backround when I do anything. Tied =up sounddcaard????????????????????????whoooooooooooooooofa!

yeah, i'm sure my soundcard is part of the problem. i finally worked it all out using chainer. btw, chainer is a nice simple way to play around with layered synths and effects too.

thx again y'all!
