Using Plugin I/O for sending to hardware via digital.

[CountLovE]

I have an Apogee Ensemble, and a Eventide 2016 Reverb

 

In Logic I have my inputs set to monitor my Hardware Prophet VS. I have them going into inputs 1+2. I then have the Digital connectors going from my Apogee Ensemble to the Digital in/out on the Eventide.

 

In Logic I send Inputs 1 +2 to a bus. For the Insert on the bus I choose the I/O plugin. The plugin is then configured for Inputs 9/10, and outputs 9/10. I then normalize my send to 0.

 

Now viewing the levels, The inputs 1+2 show -3 and the Bus for the effects coming back are a lot lower. The Eventide is set at 100 percent Wet.

 

So I go to the I/O plugin, and adjust volume to +4 for the inputs and outputs.

 

Is this the correct way to do this?

 

Thanks!

Actually on the i/o plug-in you should adjust the output level while looking at the input meter on the Eventide, making sure it's not overloading it. And as for the input level just adjust it so it gives you a decent level on the bus' meter, but it really doesn't matter that much.
