ASIO4All driver (I had it already running, the mixer uses it)Īnd that’s it. usb cable for Audiophile (my mixer was already connected via usb)ĥ. two stereo RCA audio cables (red-white)Ĥ. another audio interface with pair of I/O, in my case M-Audio Audiophile USBģ. audio interface one with pair of I/O (often called 2×2), in my case Allen & Heath mixerĢ. The following of course goes for any outboard hardware effect, but for continuity’s sake I will use KP3 as an example.ġ. I got the KP3 working as a track effect in two hours in two DAWs, Cubase and Ableton. I was absolutely convinced that using two different audio interfaces simultaneously was not possible in a DAW running on Windows 7. Like my mixer, it is equipped with one pair of inputs and outputs.
Instead I took a look at my old interface, the M-Audio Audiophile USB. Here’s the rare bright spot in my thinking: I almost bought a new interface with plenty of I/O, but only almost. There is only one pair of stereo input and output for audio routing though, so I had no way of using KP3 as a track FX with just that one pair. My interface is embedded in my mixer, Allen & Heath ZED 10FX, a really sturdy and well-designed device. The reason for this was that using an outboard effect requires its own audio input and output in the audio interface (such as M-Audio, Focusrite, Alesis etc.). The starting point was the following: I wanted to use my Korg Kaoss Pad 3+ as an external hardware effect in a DAW, but I thought this was not possible. I will also add the necessary images to clarify my case. After all, those lessons are the most memorable and may even save time and trouble would the reader encounter something similar. Rarely does the writer openly present his or her case from the viewpoint of how stupid the person has been. When there is a lesson to be given, someone with adequate level of knowledge is definitely the right person for the job. For natural reasons most blog posts are about their writer’s expertise, and rightfully so.
