wabaé7 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Hey, i’m wondering if someone can help. I’m currently trying to run audio through my pedal board using radial’s reamper but i’ve had no luck with getting it to work. i’m not sure if i’ve got the routing wrong or if there’s something i’m not doing right with the UAD interface/console side of things. i’ve currently got the audio coming out of output 3 of the apollo and into the input of the radial reamper and the output of the radial reamper going into input 4 of the apollo. I’m not getting any signal back from the radial unit and i’m running out of ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 It would be helpful if the source was playing in the screenshot. I have an Apollo as well and use hardware with it. The first thing I did was turn down all the input faders on Console so I just monitor in Logic and thus avoid double monitoring. Usually the problem lies in cable connections. Double check that part.

wabaé7 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 @triplets Thanks! I've taken some screenshots with the source playing and I've turn down all the input faders on the console. I've checked the cable connections. The current routing is: Apollo output 3 - radial (input) - radial send (loop A) - pedal board in - pedal board out - radial receive (loop A) - radial output - Apollo input 4. I've got loop A unmuted but there's no signal coming back to the Apollo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) Another thing you want to uncheck in Logic's preferences: Input monitoring for selected tracks. Click the R on the track you want to record on. And make sure software monitoring is selected like in the attached screenshot.

wabaé7 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 @triplets So I’ve unchecked input monitoring and the software monitoring is selected but still no joy 🙇♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Ok, next step is to see if the XTC passes signal. Did you engage the Loop button in the front of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabaé7 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 @triplets yes, the efx loops A is engaged and i’m using A’s send and receive. But there’s no signal being to the board or back to the XTC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) Are you using TRS cables (balanced) to connect to the XTC from the Apollo? Guitar cables won't do. Edited May 12, 2022 by triplets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabaé7 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 @triplets yes i’ve got balanced TRS cables going to and from the XTC but guitar cables going to and from the pedal board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Ok, next step is to check that the loop connection is correct and that you have the knobs in the front of the XTC are at 12'o' clock. And lastly, that you don't have the pedalboard bypassed or the tuner going. Because the issue is getting to the XTC since Logic is sending out signal. Do you see output showing on the Apollo Screen itself going out Output 3? Not Console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabaé7 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 @triplets i had the knobs at 12 and the blend completely wet but i’ve nooned it and the pedalboard isn’t bypassed or anything. I just check the front screen of the apollo and channel 1 is metering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back of the Apollo can be confusing with outputs and inputs. Make sure you plugged in the correct output.

Make sure you plugged in the correct output. ok so it took me a minute to figure it out but I had to go into the console settings to change the mic/line to an output (i’m using an apollo x8p and spent a little too long looking for output labels haha) anyway, channel is now metering on the front screen. but i’m not getting any audio coming back through channel 4.

Your newer Apollo doesn't have TRS connectors like mine. so i’ve got the db25 all set up and the correct output is metering on the front screen of the apollo and i’ve finally got signal going to the pedalboard but no audio is coming back from the extc to the interface.
