Topic: UFX usb recording, Capturing software channels along w/ live audio

I used the usb recording via UFX for the first time, I had a session on the go so to speak. I had a lunch box full of API pre's and the UFX with me.
I put the drivers on my clients notebook since he used a daw to play some of his backing tracks that the rest of the people played to.

I did not really put too much thought into it but I rec enabled each channel I needed recorded and when I realized I need to have daw playback recorded (it had perc, synth parts etc) I recorded one of the phones channels set a 0dB with a submix, and got all the live tracks and daw playback as a LR stereo file, all the other files I have as individual mono files. I sorta pulled it off but i would much rather have the daw playback as one separate stereo file. I guess depending what is played eventually I would have to separate the signals coming out of the daw also.

How am I supposed to rout the DAW software playback to have that as a separate channel? I have a few ideas but I don't want to experiment today I just want to do it right...

Route the playback to an unused output pair, and record the outputs.

Re: UFX usb recording, Capturing software channels along w/ live audio

what if all my inputs and outputs are tied to pre's, eq and comps inside of lunch boxes? can I do that via the submix? would elaborate a little, if it's not too much to ask?

Re: UFX usb recording, Capturing software channels along w/ live audio

Do you also use all the digital out channels (AES & ADAT)? I don't understand the rest of your questions.

Re: UFX usb recording, Capturing software channels along w/ live audio

No I don't use the AES channel , I do use all 16 adat channels, I did not use them in this specific session but usually yes.

I just don't know how to rout the software playback channel for example to aes channel so that I can record it. I was just wondering if you can tell me what to do.

Re: UFX usb recording, Capturing software channels along w/ live audio

Select AES Out in the bottom row. Pull up the software playback faders. Arm the AES Out channels for recording.

ah that easy, if I only knew it. Thanks Jeff
