BWTFFAM Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hi Everyone. What I need to ask is very difficult to explain, so please bear with me: I recently bought a Kaoss Pad Effects unit. I also have a Behringer UCA200 AV interface with 1 input and 1 output, both AV, which is connected via USB to my iMac. So it's not much of a sound-card, but as the Kaoss Pad has a Mic-in, I can plug a guitar to the Kaoss Pad, send it out to the UCA200 and record it in logic. So I thought it'd be good enough for my purposes. Now, what I wanna do is, take songs from my computer, send them via the Select Line-in to the Kaoss Pad, then loop and process them and send them back out to Logic to record it. Is this even Possible? If I set the output and input both to the UCA200, then I won't hear any sound, unless I tap the tempo, then record it without hearing it, and then change the output to my internal speakers to actually hear what I looped, which pretty much fails every time. I either go a little over a measure or a little under, or it would be out of sync. Do I need to buy new equipment? Can this be solved somehow with a software? Will a Sound-card somehow solve my problems? Sorry for the horrible explanation. Thanks for reading so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosUnderground Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I've never used one, but if I understand correctly, you have used up all you're outputs? If this is the case, you could try a Agragate Device, and use built-in output to monitor playback. Sometimes it works, st it does not. Easy answer, new interface with multiple outs.

Yeah, I dunno why I'm being so cheap about this. Any recommendations while we're at it? Thanks for the quick reply, sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWTFFAM Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Also, one last follow-up question: I used to work with Max MSP when I had a PC and I've just recently started working with the Environment in Logic, which is very similar. Could the Environment somehow help me circuit this thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosUnderground Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 MOTU ultra light or Presonus Firestudio Project. Not the best, but plenty of bang for buck. +1 on MOTU drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
