REAC: How to Multi-Track Record from a V-Mixing System or Digital Snake
There is one option for multi-track recording from a V-Mixing System or Roland Digital Snake:
-
Windows 7/8 DAW Recording
If using a Windows 7 or Windows 8 computer, the REAC driver enables users to capture up to 40 audio channels from a Digital Snake or Roland V-Mixer directly into most ASIO-based DAWs such as SONAR, Cubase, Reaper, etc - all via one Cat5e/6 cable to the PC's Ethernet Port.- REAC Driver Download (Windows 7 and Windows 8 only):

Notes:
- Windows 10 and Mac OS X are not supported and there's not a workaround to allow compatibility. The driver has been discontinued and there will be no more updates made to the driver.
- While the REAC driver was tested in the past with Sonar X1, X2 and X3, we cannot guarantee full compatibility with any other DAW software or version of Sonar.
