Topic: BabyfacePro --> Channelstrip --> BabyfacePro
So i want to send individual channels from the DAW, Ableton in my case, out to my Empirical Labs Mike-E channel strip, and back in to Ableton. Essentially "reamping" I suppose. I realize I can only send a mono signal since it's a single channel unit(the Mike-E) and that's fine, as I want to individually process midi/vst drum tracks and print them back in Ableton. So it looks like I would have 2 possible options: Going out one of the Analog XLR outs(which i'd prefer not to because I use my monitors almost exclusively) and in either IN3 or IN4, or going out of the 1/4" phones jack(preferred as I rarely use it except for composition)and back in through the IN3 or IN4.
This is possible, correct? I've been trying here and there for a week or so to no avail. I've read the BFP's manual twice, and watched a few youtube videos and am still completely in the dark. I'm assuming this is a TotalMixFX issue, and I'm just a total dummy and can't figure out the correct routing and/or not setting it up right in ableton.
Can someone familiar with both the BFP and TotalMix PLEASE help me out? I've came so close to throwing this thing on Fleabay and buying a Roland studiocapture or something similar even though I know it would be a dumb move, as I LOVE how stable RMEs drivers are, and how much I'll miss the BFP's conversion. I also almost bought the cheap ADA8200 to run ADAT just to have more I/O thinking this will help me achieve my goal, but let's be real: If i'm screwing THIS much up, I'm going to screw that up as well.
Please. I beg of you. Have mercy on me and tell me how to route this, both physically, and in TMFX, before I drive myself insane. You have no idea how much I will appreciate you. lol
