so now my question is, can I change the mac audio from being forced to 19/20?

seriously! lol thats all it was? Sorry, rookie move on my part Wonderful, Thank you so much I'm all up and running

That's not good. Anyway… Can you post a screenshot of your aggregate device here?

Universal Control is only good for updating firmware for whatever reason since the 1818 is class compliant and doesn't require drivers. It in no way helps my cause.

Jurgen, how does this method also give me my 8 inputs from the 1818VSL? I Need to utilize both inputs, the 1818 and the sound flower, that's the whole reason for the aggregate device

here's what I've done so far. system output is sound flower 2ch, audio/midi I've created a multi output which includes the 1818 and the 2ch sound flower I go into Logic, and under output I have "multi-output device" under Input I only have sound flower,1818,and built in ....

I've done that, still not seeing aggregate as an input in logic

I'll try it, but I don't even remember how I used this in the past. what do I assign the system output to? Sound flower 2 ch? I know I have to create an aggregate output to include the 1818 and sound flower, but I cannot select that aggregate as an Input in logic, only as an output. Any tips?

I didn't want to have to use any 3rd party utilities

I'm hoping this forum is still active. I've seen videos on how you can do this with the Apollo, but not logic, and I can't believe there's no way of doing this without the use of utilities like Soundcloud or Loopback. I need to somehow use Logic 10.4 as my live FOH Mixer. I'm a one man show singing and playing to pre-recorded tracks streaming from iTunes. I have a Presonus 1818VSL. The VSL is no longer supported on any recent OS X so I must use Logic or Mianstage as my Virtual mixing console. In the Presonus VSL system output was routed directly into virtual ADAT inputs and I had full control of them using the fader in VSL. Now the 1818 is class compliant so I can still use it. I just can no longer use their VSL software to provide me with their virtual mixer, so I'm trying to find a way to do this in Logic 10.4. Bottom line, I need to route the mac's system audio output into Logic X so I can assign it to a channel strip and add processing to it.. Is there any way to do this? Could I utilize the "environment" to somehow create this channel? Help! I don't want to have to go back to Mavericks
