Is there any way to record the audio output of an audio instrument at the same time the midi is recorded? I don't want to have to physically patch an output on my audio interface to an input. I don't want to use the freeze function or bounce. I just want to hit record, stop, wait for the overview then continue. Normally, I'd be okay with just leaving the performance as MIDI, or using freeze, but due to the random nature of some of the sounds I am using for this project, the playback is not always the same every time I hit play. I would rather capture the performance I heard while recording and be done with it. Thanks, Pete

Does anyone know if this can be accomplished virtually with either MOTU' cuemix DSP or RME's Total MIX? I've been considering an audio interface upgrade anyway. Pete

MOTU cuemix does not allow you to route the computer audio out back into the mixer. but you could do this with a real physical cable. you could to it with digital audio, or analog audio. I often do this for the reason you mention, usually with analog, and it sounds fine. I have a Metric Halo 2882 at work I will check if this is possible with, it has a very impressive matrix function. -haven

I have not found a way to do this with RME Totalmix either - I use a coax or lightpipe digital cable and simply record stuff back in as I need it.

Investigate the "Wormhole" AU plugin - one somewhere in the audio path after the AI, another on an Audio Input object, as a send/receive pair. Expect to deal with some offset on the recorded audio due to buffering latency.

Easy. Yeah, I use SPDIF loopback here too. Works very well. Apparently the new Fireface _can_ route outputs to inputs internally, and this will also be added to TotalMix for existing RME hardware.

If you have one, you can also do it using an I/O with an spidf. ________________________________________________________ A Member of the Apple Consultants Network (ACN) www.utopiaparkwaymusic.com Now both Mac OSX and Windows XP... the only way to fly ;-) Buy the new CSi Logic Pro Starter Training CD http://store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/clink?muskalipman+MU3Us5+1592004784.html
