elastic Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hi Everyone, Just setting up my new focusrite saffire pro 40 but im having trouble sending audio out of my DAW (logic pro 9), to my hardware compressor then back in to Logic. I have set my compressor up so that it goes out of the focusrite on channels 3/4 and back IN on channels 7/8, see like below - http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp240/tom4040/ScreenShot2012-12-17at214928_zps54b52847.png Can anyone explain why i'm not getting any audio going into the compressor? Thank you for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlogic Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Open an Environment window Choose the Mixer layer Go to New > Channel Strip > Output This will create an Output 3-4 Channel Strip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elastic Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hmmm ok, I will try what you say but I don't think that's the solution. On my old interface I never had to do that, that was a presonus fire studio project, there's no real difference with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 According to your image, you have DAW 1 and DAW 2 assigned to Line Outputs 3 and 4 in the Mix Control software. I'd say you need to set those to DAW 3 and DAW 4. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elastic Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 No, both suggestions above have not worked. I am using the I/O plugin to route the audio to my compressor and back in again. It appears that it's something to do with my audio interface i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivermetimbers Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I use the presonus fire studio project and I bypass the 'Universal Control software mixer' because I am not sending out different monitor mixes. Basically, it is set up so that the inputs/outputs are directly connected to my DAW inputs/outputs. The I/O utility plug in works great for this set up. The Focusrite should allow you to do the same if you have no need for separate monitor mixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
