USB Audio Routing Question
If I have a device that passes audio via USB, and PT 10 sees it, and can record the audio from that USB device.
Does anyone here know how to get the output of that live audio from ProTools to Factory 003 for monitoring? Right now I'm having to switch Play Back engine back and forth. Problem is while recording, I cannot hear the audio from the USB device. Thanks!

Re: USB Audio Routing Question
What do you mean “PT 10” sees it... as the playback engine?
What exact USB device are you talking about? The word you are looking for is *monitoring*. Your USB device likely has no hardware monitoring and so you need to use software monitoring in Pro Tools? And it’s likely you do not have input monitoring (Or track input monitoring if using Pro Tools 10 HD) correctly configured. The Pro Tools Reference guide explains all this. |

This is a PIA because I'm also using the L6 Stomp on my pedal board for effects on my regular guitar amps. So It will result in a workaround of cable swapping. My goal was to permanently leave the 1/4" out patch cables as part of the regular guitar rig, and have the usb going to the Mac for recording. Except there is no way to get the audio over to the 003 from PT if HX Stomp is selected as the playback engine. (in which this setting, the stomp will record audio to PT Tracks. I thought the aggregate would take care of this, but sadly it doesn't.

Re: USB Audio Routing Question
Knowing the device is a Line 6 Stomp helps.
The Stomp has USB audio out, your first call should probably be be to try using that directly (not an aggregate) there are multiple channels of output look in the User Guide to understand. And yes then you will need to plug the Stomp analog outputs into your monitors. Aggregation might also work, you can try it. If it works you should be able to do what you want. If the devices actually aggregate (does a 003 actually aggregate at all?) then what is happening? What IO paths show up... if things don't look right then try defaulting the IO (deleting all the paths and then click "Default" on the Setup>IO>input/output/bus pages). If they still don't look right just go in and manually name all the IO to whatever you want. Get pre-recorded audio playing back out the outputs you want. Then worry about getting monitoring to work -- and if it is not then I expect you have Pro Tools in the wrong input monitoring mode. ...But aggregation tends to be buggy even if it works at all, and more so when trying to combine USB and Firewire interfaces. Personally I'd not waste time trying it. Worse case, swapping a few cables is not a huge amount of work. The other question is why just record analog elsewhere in the signal path, wether DI and/or micing a cab. |
