Hi :D In about two weeks I'll be adding a second set of monitor speakers to my setup. I want to keep my old speakers as they will be invaluable for making comparisons. The only problem is: I don't want to spend E 1000,- on expensive monitor switchers. A cheaper alternative would be something like th...

I finally got it to work using send channels as described here: http://blog.dubspot.com/how-to-route-external-hardware-audio-effects/ Though I don't think it makes a difference using that method vs the External Audio device. I now send the signal out via my left monitor-out (no real reason to use th...

Hmm, it looks like it's less obvious to setup than I thought.. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar04/articles/pcmusician.htm I think I'm simply missing a pair of outputs. I tried to separate the headphone output from the main speakers output by using the Cue functionality, which should give me enoug...

Nope.. did't work with the External Audio plugin either. I can put a signal through the Doepfer using eg an iPod, but not via Ableton. I always end up with a feedback loop. The weird thing is that in the preferences pane, it does say "6 in, 6 out" (see attached). https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1...

Oh wow. Do I feel like a fool. I have not been able to test it yet but all the while I was using the "External instrument effect" :oops: I didn't even realize that there's also an External Audio effect.. Thanks a lot guys; I'll try it out tonight and will let you know if this did the trick...

The Desktop Konnekt has: - Stereo out for monitors - Headphone out - Input 1 (mic/instrument) - Input 2 (instrument) I have the Doepfer routing to the instrument in. I've tried to route the monitor out to the Doepfer, and the headphone out to the Doepfer. I tried both the External instruments plugin...

Have you checked Preferences > Midi sync? Make sure 'track' and 'sync' are on for your device, and that it's selected in 'output'.

Hi guys, I recently purchased a Doepfer Dark Energy synthesizer- a great sounding machine. One of the interesting features of the DE is its ability to route audio through an external audio input. I can for instance route audio from my ipod through the Doepfer into Ableton. I haven't been able to get...

Thanks for the input guys. There's actually quite a lot of discussion on the topic and I'm still in the middle about it. I'm well aware of the fact that I might be an arse for spending this much though on the topic. Regardless of what's right or wrong, I reached the conclusion this morning that it's...

I'm going to buy new monitor speakers in about a month and these require burning in. Let's leave the discussion about whether burning in speakers is useful/ludicrous for a bit. Like many, I'm in a residential area where I cannot blast my speakers full throttle all the time. Now I've read about flipp...

Not trying to spam here, but I wanted to mention that from today until July 7th, NI Kontakt is 50% off. €189,50 E is a very decent price to me. I've been having troubles with Sampler not working well with large multisample instrument banks. After spending another 4 hours trying to get a new soundban...
