Did you try it really? Seems genialy simple. But still why it is not possible inside totalmix???
It's maybe hard to believe, but all 3 ADATS I/O and SPDIF are busy on my card, but it is worth trying.

QUESTION TO ALL:

What is finally the best strategy for getting high quality 2 track final mix out?

One of the more common 'pro' approaches is to mix out into a hardware device, such as a CD-RW or Harddisk recorder, like the Alesis Masterlink. (Though, I don't know anyone 'pro' who doesn't have a high-end converter with the Masterlink because the ML converters suck.)

If you're looking for "high-quality", you should possibly consider investing in this approach.

My workaround is soundcard specific. EDIROL ua 25 has an active monitoring feature, in fact a digital loopback that allows the sound on the outputs to be loslessly transfered back to the input!

So, I turn Digital In option, plug soundcard input to a Tracktion channel and press record! The Master output, together with all VST processing is recorded back to a channel. (Must disable End-to-end, otherwise you will get feedback).

Now I can edit the output in outside editor, Audition being my preference. Also, other sort of editing and remixing in T2 is now possible.

Great stuff!
