Setup RME UFX

[2206]

With the UFX or a similar multichannel interface REW only knows L and R as inputs and outputs.

So, in the Audio/MIDI application under Configure Speakers choose Analog 1 and Analog 2 as output (software playback). Sound from REW will be routed now to these channels, which in TotalMix can be routed to a hardware output, e.g. speakers. Route these channels to Analog 1 and Analog 2 hardware outputs and use loopback to send them back to REW, which expects input from analog 1 (L) and analog 2 (R), to make the interface calibration. Once the interface calibration is done and stored, the channel routing can be changed, eg to speakers.

To make a measurement, a mic input (Channel 9...12) has to be routed to hardware inputs Analog 1 (L) or 2 (R), e.g. route the mic input to a hardware output and with a cable connection to hardware input Analog 1 (L) or 2 (R). I simply connected an external mic pre to hardware input Analog 2 (R). Now the signal from REW goes through Analog 1 and 2 to Totalmix and from there to the speakers. Hardware input Analog 1 or 2 has to receive the mic signal from either an external mic pre or an hardware output through a cable connection. Voila, REW works like a charm.... Cheers

Yes, I have exact that problem with my RME [URL='http://www.rme-audio.de/products/hdspe_aio.php']HDSPe AIO [/URL]
But I dont understand the steps. It is possible that you upload some screenshots with some explenation. That would be very helpful 2206 !

Note: Signals from and to REW go through left and right, which is Analog 1 and Analog 2 (output or input).

Open Audio Midi Setup (Utilities, Application), click Configure Speaker.

Calibration: Chose Analog 1 and 2 for left and right output signals. Signals from REW will go to Playback Channel Analog 1 and 2 in Total mix. From there, route them to Analog 1 and 2 hardware output and use loopback to send signal back to REW, which expects signal from Analog 1 and 2. Check loopback function in TM manual.

Measurement: Leave Speaker Configuration as above.
External mic pre: Connect external mic preamp to hardware Analog input 1 and 2 (for 2 mics) of interface. REW expects mic signals at Analog 1 and Analog 2 input.
Internal mic pre: Route mic inputs to hardware output Analog 1 and 2 (for 2 mics), use loopback, so REW can read data from there. Alternatively, route mic input to any hardware output and use cable from there to hardware input Analog 1 and 2 (for two mics).

Warning: Be careful with loopback! It can result in feedback if some application is using the same channels! Always turn down volume before making any connections/changes in Total mix!

Hope that helps.

V5.19 beta 9 should work with multichannel I/O cards on macOS.
