Default Routing other apps to Pro Tools
Currently I route the line output of my Mac into a couple of analog channels of my HD I/O so I can listen to audio from Chrome, etc. while Pro Tools is running. Is there a way to do this digitally staying in the box? Maybe with Pro Tools Aggregrate I/O? Aggregrate engine has always confused me tbh.

I'd like to be able to Skype for some online vocal lessons and still have access to my my mic and plugins.

I thought Sound Flower was the Mac solution for this

I installed Soundflower and made it the system output. Also did this below from Soundflowers instructions. Where is this supposed to be coming up as an input in Pro Tools so I can monitor it?

Open Audio MIDI Setup: (found in /Applications/Utilities)

hit the '+' button in the bottom left corner and select "Create Multi Output Device"
in the the panel that appears on the right, select "Built-in Output" AND "Soundflower (2ch)"
then hit the button with the gear icon bottom left and select "use this device for sound output" (you should still be hearing your iTunes output -- it is now going to both Soundflower and the built-in speakers)

Hmmm, maybe you need to configure aggregate IO to make it work? Working from memory here as I run PC

Default Routing other apps to Pro Tools
You’re running HD.

You can’t use Soundflower etc. as it needs to work with Core Audio interfaces.

FYI - this question has come up a lot. Search the forum to see suggestions and what others are doing.

Source Nexus doesn't care what kind of interface you've got - it's a way to route to/from CoreAudio through an AAX plug. Works well.

Loopback by Rogue Amoeba is the solution you're looking for.

It won't work. Pro Tools takes exclusive control over HD hardware so that it isn't accessible to any other application running on the system.
