Recording Virtual Channels in Capture - RM16AI
Posted: Thu May 04, 2017 4:21 am
Has anybody got some experience they could share about recording virtual channels through capture? I can record them by sending them to an aux and then routing that aux as the secondary stereo channel in my mixer settings. I want to achieve separate tracks though.
I have slightly unconventional set up. I am also using a USB (Scarlett 18i20) interface that I use to interface both MIDI and audio tracks through Apple Mainstage and then output to my virtual channels on my RM16. I do this so that I can get separate channels for different midi keyboard sounds. I.e. Piano is 17&18, synth 19&20 etc. It makes FOH mixing and EQ a lot easier. I also do the following (Electric Guitar> Scarlett> Mainstage> Amp Plug Ins> RM Digital Channel) and the same with a Bass. This is purely because I don't own amps or have space in the venue I'm in.
I use an Aggregate Device on my mac to get both interfaces talking. I'm assuming that the RM 16 mixer is still processing the audio output, so why doesn't it route to be recorded in Capture.
I'd really appreciate some feedback and hope this post is food for thought.
