DP9 & BFD3 Multiouts

Post by waxman »

Does FXpansion not support multi outs in DP9?

BFD3 does support multiple audio outputs in DP9 - been using it that way for all my work. I have a preset in BFD3 to do that and that's where you have to configure things. I have a DP9 clipping that has BFD3 on an instrument track, the MIDI track to drive BFD3 and a multitude of aux and audio tracks routed and all setup so that each drum or group of drums, cymbals, overheads and other mics in BFD3 go to individual tracks so I can mix it like a normal acoustic kit. I also have a DP9 project template with everything setup as well. Takes a bit of work but worth it.

To set things up you need to do so in the BFD3 mixer where you can route the outs of each drum mic to a separate audio output path or to internal BFD3 auxs and then to a BFD3 output. All in the BFD3 manual.

It works for me. OS 10.8.6. In Bundles, the stereo outs go to 2 through 16, then the mono outs are odd numbers only, 17, 19, 21, etc.

Thanks Tim... yeah so I noticed that... 5 in BFD3 is 25 in DP9. Crazy.
It worked perfect for me with BFD2 and DP 8. Oh well I'll have to see if I can get a template made.

Jack would like to post that clipping?

Rather than give you the clipping (which has a couple of issues I haven't fixed) I'd like to post a session with things setup the way I use them but I can't figure out how to attach a file to a post. Also I don't use mono outs from BFD, just the stereo ones.

In my setup I use audio tracks to accept the BFD3 outputs; no bundles needed for that. I have two bundles - one for the BFD3 main output and one for the aux track that accepts the outputs for all the audio tracks.
