Topic: Multi-channel routing

Hello,
I have an HDSPe-AIO with 4AO extension and a 8 channel ADAT DA converter, for a total of 14 analog output channels (+ phone).
I need to loopback 8 output channels without sacrificing any "real" I/O...
But it seems there is no way to do that... Am I wrong ?
A quite simple solution would be to provide "virtual" channels in the ASIO driver, dedicated to loopback. Please do it...

Thanks in advance wink

Re: Multi-channel routing

See if this helps get you started. There is also a video for Pro Tools.

There is also further detail in the manual.

Re: Multi-channel routing

Hello, thank you for answering.
I know how to loopback, basically. What I want to do is:
a multimedia player outputs 8 channels of audio on "loopbacked" channels - ADAT 1-8 for example; those are streamed to a recording software...
while another software renders up to 20 channels of independant audio on the physical card outputs: 12 onboard (8 analog + 2 spdif + 2 AES) + 8 ADAT.
Actualy loopbacked channels are unusable for independant output - and they must correspond to physical inputs: so analog 3-6 (AO4S) are not loopback-able.

If purely software ASIO channels LOOP1-8 existed (LOOPi out simply copied to LOOPi in), this would be possible - and very usefull.

Re: Multi-channel routing

I like to help, if I can ... but you are obviously more knowledgeable about this than I.

My last 'shot in the dark:' have you looked into these? Virtual Audio Cables

Good luck.

Re: Multi-channel routing

I know it for long - I own a copy - but results are impredictable. Works quite well on a PC with Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1, but I couldn't make it work with my RME setup: clicks, pop and clicks... HeadScratch
In fact VAC would be perfect IF ONLY it can be seriously synchronized to the audio hardware, which is not the case.

Re: Multi-channel routing

Thank you for the link, I hadn't given it a try yet.

For RME dev staff: is my suggestion foolish ?

I've got another one by the way, that could be easier to implement: input channels 3-6 (dedicated to AI4S) could appear as virtual channels usable for loopback even if AI4S is not present.

Thank you in advance for your response wink
