8. DirectWIRE
1. What is DirectWIRE?
DirectWIRE is a 100% purely digital wire!
DirectWIRE is a driver technology, developed by ESI, which can be used for routing audio streams internally
within applications using EWDM Audio MIDI Drivers exclusively developed by ESI.
With the DirectWIRE router, an application can record from other application’s audio outputs without
external wiring or any loss of data when they are running at the same time.
DirectWIRE also allows you to easily rip any audio stream in real time by transferring data thru DirectWIRE
from MP3s, live On-line Broadcast and On-demand content, and more.
2. DirectWIRE Panel
Click on DirectWIRE on the MAYA44 control panel. The DirectWIRE panel window as shown below will
appear. DirectWIRE digital virtual wiring technology, developed by ESI, routes audio streams internally
within applications using standard audio drivers such as WDM, ASIO and MME, even when they are
running at the same time.
The number on the row represents the input or output port.
The columns represent ins and outs (on and off) of the respected drivers.
Patch the virtual cables from one point to another as you drag your mouse point.
INPUT section is a new feature of DirectWIRE 3.0. It's used to route signals from the card's hardware
inputs. With MAYA44, INPUT 1 and 2 are identical to the left and right channels of the Analog input 1
signal. INPUT 3 and 4 are the left and right channels of the Analog input 2.
MME section represents general application's I/O:
Ex.) WinAmp, WaveLab (non ASIO mode), Cakewalk, Audition, Vegas, etc.
WDM section represents Multi-MME application’s I/O:
Ex.) SONAR (when using WDM/KS), PowerDVD, WinDVD, etc.
ASIO section represents ASIO application’s I/O:
Ex.) Cubase, Logic, Reason, Nuendo, SONAR (when using ASIO), Samplitude, etc.
GSIF section represents GSIF application like GigaStudio.
* Some applications support multiple driver modes.
