Default Your experience of using Aggregate Device?

Hi there,
I'm considering to switch using Pro Tools for composing. I need to use two device one is the audio interface, 2nd is loopback to get sound from other DAWs such as Live sounds.
Could you share your experience of using Aggregate Device? Any known issue or its almost pretty stable and nothing to be considered in mind?

Thanks

Not recently but did some tracking sessions with a Mackie 1640i and Mytek Stereo192 DAC as an aggregate device with no external sync between them and it...worked! This was PT10 back in 2014 but the setup worked flawlessly. It can work, I think it's really just down to the devices and individual configuration so YMMV.

It works, it will just double your roundtrip latency though...but if you are using direct/hardware monitoring, that might not be an issue for you
