DP 11 routing out through ADAT in Apollo X4

Post by Zorro in Hell »

How do I go about routing tracks from DP 11 out to my Apollo X4
using the ADAT outs on my Apollo X4 so I can send audio to another unit's ADAT ins?
You see, what I am trying to do is send 16 channels of ADAT out of DP 11
out through my X8 and X4 and then to my Allen & Heath ZED r16.
What do I need to do?

On a Mac, you want to set up an Aggregate Device in Audio MIDI Setup.app and name it. Apple has support docs on this.

In DP, you’ll call up that device and find your I/O channels there. Getting to the ADAT Outs is going to be in the unit manuals.

Do I do an Aggregate even if my core audio recognizes my ZED r16? Also, how do I "Call Up" my ZED, do I click on the input or the output in the tracks column in order to find the ZED r16?
Thanks for your help.
