Allen & Heath Xone 62 integration with Ableton

Post by sureshot111 » Tue Jan 26, 2010 5:00 pm

Hi all,

Fairly new to Live, wanting to use my Xone 62 routed through an Audio 8 to DJ with. All music coming from the laptop. I want it set up so that Ableton registers eq changes from the mixer, which is not midi.

I have it set up mostly to that effect at the moment with all the channels taking their input from the laptop and all outputting to a seperate channel each on the Audio 8.

All works fine other than the fact that the recording will not register eq changes from the mixer. Any ideas how I can configure things so that it does? I currently have the 2 channels I'm using on the mixer up full all the time and I'm using a 1D to control the volume, delays ect (mapped). I don't want to have to map eq's for each channel I'm using, i.e 2, to the 1D. I want use the mixer for that.

Also, when I want to then render the mix to a Wav file, I only get the option to render from master, 1 audio, all tracks etc. This means I can't export the mix because it has been recorded over different channels and I cant, for instance, render all tracks as one, if you know what I mean. Any help on that?

I hope I've explained that well enough, help very much appreciated.

If the 62 does not have midi, i dont think this can be done :(

as for the rendering..
when your finished mixing, just send every channel to the master and render :D

Cant you just route the audio from your 62 back into ableton and record it from there? The 62 has a record output on the back, just send that back to the computer.

As mentioned already:

You cannot record the automation of the Xone 62 in Live, because the mixer does not send information to Live- it modulates an analog signal inside of itself.

To record the mix from your Xone, the best way is to plug the master out of the mixer into the inputs on your soundcard, and record the audio into a dedicated track on Live. This way you'll capture all of the EQing and fader movements you do on the mixer in your recorded audio.
