aggregate device in audio desk

Post by randrohe »

Hello All,

I am currently using an Ultralite and a 8Pre. I have these set up as an aggregate device which I use w/ Ableton LIve 5. In audio desk, there is no aggregate device which shows up.. It lists my interfaces separately.. Is there a way to use all interfaces at once?? I am just trying to dig into audiodesk a little deeper as Live is not an ideal daw for my purposes.. thanx in advance, rand

Hey Rand,
Sorry no one's had an answer for you, maybe this will help. I have the 8pre and an 828mkII, with the 8Pre lightpiped into the 828. It shows uo as one unit in DP when you do it that way. Does the Ultralight have a lightpipe input? Not real familiar with that unit. Try that and see what happens.

Ultralite doesn't have lightpipe, but it looks like you should be able to link them via firewire. Not sure, but you might also need to use one of the analog inputs or outputs for SMPTE sync.

Thank you for your time. I have these successfully set up as an aggregate device which I use w/ Ableton Live. I gather that DP sees an aggregate device, but I am exploring Audio Desk and am not able to find it in the prefs. Thanks Again
