[QUOTE="Mike Drennan, post: 146577, member: 10162"] Re: X32 Discussion I'm having a problem with a routing scheme in my studio. I'd like to know if it's possible, just to have proof of concept for other applications. At my main desk, I have the X32 original. About 20 feet away in a 12 space rack bay, I have the x32 rack, as well as other outboard gear I'd like to be able to incorporate into my workflow. What I'd like to accomplish is this: 1. Insert a TC Helicon Voicelive Rack, 100% wet into an Ableton Live Return channel. 2. Using the built in buss sends from Ableton's session view, route audio clips with 100% feed to the "TC Helicon Return". 3. With an "External Audio Effect" plugin instantiated on the return track, send audio: a.) Through the card output to the main X32. b.) Across the AES50 port to an X32 Rack channel with the hardware inserted. c.) Return processed audio back to the main board and into the DAW. The external audio effect plugin essentially allows you to select an output and input from your audio interface to create an insert point in the Ableton channel. If I could get this working, my imagination says I could record clips into Ableton, send them to the TC Helicon Bus for processing externally by the hardware unit, and return the audio into the Ableton mixer for live effect or capturing into a separate clip. The AES50 connections coupled with the way the X32 handles inserts is puzzling to me. I'll think I have a workable routing scheme, and then I'll end up with some kind of feedback loop somewhere. Clearly I'm not cracking it myself. What I've come up with so far is: AES50 25-32 carries card 25-32. Select channel 32 as my "output" from the Ableton external effect plugin. A32 carries signal to channel 32 on the X32 rack. Connect Aux 1 as an insert which is physically connected to the TC Helicon unit. This is where I get stumped. Do I then route AES50 outputs from the X32 rack to carry Aux 1-6/Mon, or a post fader direct out of mixer channel 32? If your head is in knots after reading this, you understand why I'm looking for help. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
