Fairlight with a focusrite and shure USB on windows

Dear community

I am seeking to record input from 2 USB devices simultaneously.

this is the ShureMV7 and a stereo keyboard input into a focusrite 2i4 (2nd gen). all drivers are up to date and both are visible simultaneously in programs like OBS

but when in Resolve only the windows default device is visible to be selected. I know it doesn´t support ASIO but I would have still thought that both input options could be handled?

any advice?

I've always found traditional analog/digital audio connections to be better quality/more reliable than USB audio.

"Better quality", sorry Jim, that is non sense. Do your homework, go to https://www.audiosciencereview.com/foru ... t_Reviews/ and read through the measurement database. All top end audio interfaces these days are USB based.

HI All, i don't think the difference between USB and analog inputs (the A2D conversion has to happen somehwere) is at all the point.

if i can't get the information into fairlight it is irrelevent anyway. does anyone have any experience with using fairlight for this type of pretty basic scenario?
