Topic: Babyface's headphone output with external HW effect
Hi guys,
new Babyface Pro FS user here. I wonder if you could help me setting up my new Babyface Pro FS interface with an external HW effect that I want to use as a flexible external insert fx in my DAW (Ableton Live). I couldn‘t find a solution for my problem yet, although I searched various resources. The closest forum post I found similar to my problem was this one: https://www.forum.rme-audio.de/viewtopic.php?id=18984. I tried to duplicate this user's settings in TotalMix FX but wasn't able to solve my problem.
My problem is: I want to use the second headphone output on the right side on the Babyface Pro FX (the one with the mini-jack; an adapter from mini jack to mono jack cables is attached) as a dedicated signal out to my external HW fx unit and come from this unit‘s main outputs back into the Babyface using HW input 3 & 4. I wonder if this is possible to control the headphone‘s signals separately. I read in the manual (english version page 86) that using the headphone output as line out should be no problem:
„In case this output should operate as Line output, an adapter TRS plug to RCA phono plugs, or TRS plug to TS plugs is required“
But I am struggling to setup the TotalMix FX software correctly to do the job. Furthermore, I want signal of the Babyface‘s main output (XLR outputs 1&2) to be the same on the main headphone output.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
