routing within pc
What's everyone using to route signal within their PC? i.e so I can route audio from a web browser and into protools, etc.
On mac I've used Soundflower. On PC I've been using Virtual Audio Cable so far, but it gives me lots of dropouts. What else is around that works well.

Re: routing within pc
You can avoid any third party routing software by recording a file from the Windows “Stereo Mix” device and record with anything and import the audio file into Pro Tools.

Re: routing within pc
Indeed, I have never been able to make a direct path into PT without going out and coming back into inputs on my interface. Pretty sure you could do it with Audacity(free) or some other free software. You might also consider Wavelab Elements(which is also handy for burning audio CD's and mastering)

@Darryl Ramm, Are you able to use the "Stereo Mix" device as an input to Protools using Asio4all? I experimented with it today but had no luck so far.

Re: routing within pc
I would not inflict ASIO4ALL on myself. You can't just "ASIO4ALL" the input you have to aggregate that with an output in ASIO4ALL... Pro Tools cannot work without an output... and you cannot aggregate to a HD Native interface with ASIO4ALL.

Re: routing within pc
Thanks for your insight. It's been helpful. My home setup isn't using an HD Native interface at the moment, which is I think I need to use Asio4all-- so I can monitor Basehead, Vocalign, etc through PT. If there is another option, I open to it. I've been Mac-centric for the past 15+ years so it's taking me some time to catch up with PC best practices.

Re: routing within pc
I know you mentioned virtual audio cable, but I suggest downloading VoiceMeeter Potato. It’s the same developers as virtual cable, but it’s a more complete software. The GUI looks like a virtual mixer, and I use it as my virtual router within the PC ecosystem. It can be daunting trying to figure it out, but there’s a ton of tutorial in YouTube to get you started. Give it a shot.

Re: routing within pc
On a related note, does anyone have trouble with Protools forcing across the board sample rates?
I have a HDNative>Omni system at 48k (post standard) and I'm trying to run with Source Connect Now (which uses 44k1). I'm using a Zoom F6 as the I/O for Source Now and it works fine until I launch ProTools, at which point I get a pitch shift and glitches on the return loop. I've tried all the settings in the Zoom Audio Driver but it makes no difference at all, as soon as PT launches the clocking falls apart. Edit.... Fixed it. The Windows sound settings seem to override the specific OEM driver settings.
