Topic: Loopback on all time

hi
i just learn how to use DigiCheck and LoopBack

for digicheck you also need Loopback

i use analog 3/4 for record loopback and ADAT7/8 for digicheck
icreated Snapshots to make it more easily and i keep noth of them on all time
i just wonder if its ok and not gonna influence on any record ill do or any thing i listen?

or should i trun them of everytime i stop using them?


i discovered when you Digicheck on Analog 1/2 (Main) its turn down with monitors and continue to work with different  way so i preffer ADAT7/8

Re: Loopback on all time

You can safely use loopback on ports where you either need it or where you want to record a special submix.

As soon as you enable loopback on a HW output / submix the following happens.
The loopback signal is there at the input and can be recorded.
If you have something connected to this particular input, then the audio signal is not lost, you can route it to another free output of your choice, enable loopback and record it on the corresponding input.

For the loopback signal at the input you have no metering, you need to watch the metering on the HW output where you activated the loopback.

Whether you can keep it enabled all the time depends on your needs. Either the port is free for this purpose all the time or you simply need to use this input for other things than loopback, to be able to record from this HW Input.

If you have a Babyface Pro and do not use ADAT7+8 IN/OUT, then I would use that last stereo channel pair for such purposes.

You can use the mirror function of TotalMix FX to mirror the HW Output of "Main Out" to that channel and enable loopback there.

Then this port ADAT 7+8 OUT has always the same submix as "Main Out" and you can use Digicheck with ADAT 7+8 IN.
