Daisy Chain and ordering them in aggregate core audio device
Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2014 5:23 pm
Hi, I'm owner of three audio interfaces Motu: 828 Mk3 Hybrid , Traveler Mk3 , 8pre ( firewire) .
I connect these three interfaces via firewire daisy chain :
Mac --- > 828 mk3 Hybrid --- > Traveler Mk3 --- > 8pre .
The chain works , the three separate CueMix allow me to adjust the interfaces separately , in the Motu Audio Setup are all displayed ( in this order: 8pre - 828Mk3Hybrid - TravelerMk3 ).
In the audio configuration of the mac these are regularly displayed ( in this order: TravelerMk3 - 828Mk3Hybrid - 8pre ) .
So, I create a new core audio aggregate device, and name it "828+Traveler+8pre" (the aggregate device displays the three interfaces in this order: TravelerMk3 - 828Mk3Hybrid - 8pre ) .
Everything works perfectly , all Inputs and Outputs are displayed and works correctly.
Now, my problem is this:
The Mac order the three interfaces automatically , in alphabetical order , so I find a core audio as follows:
Traveler --- > 828Mk3Hybrid --- > 8pre .
This is a problem , because I want as the first interface the 828 Mk3 Hybrid (which I just connected as the first interface in the hardware chain , and is connected directly to the mac ), followed by the Traveler Mk3 and at the end the 8pre .
The " problem " is the ordering on core audio, which then presents itself to me in the interfaces and in Daw Logic 9 .
For example, on Logic 9 , all the In and Out are displayed and work correctly , but the In and Out of the 828 Mk3 Hybrid are next in order of number compared to those of the Traveler Mk3 and this is a problem when I set the channels in my system , creating confusion .
For example , the output of the 1-2 channels of Traveler Mk3 is in 15-16 Out of Logic , while the output 5-6 of the 828 Mk3 I know Out in 25-26.
I put the 828 Mk3 Hybrid as the first interface in the chain because I wanted that its In/Out were the first to be selected in my Daw , in ascending order to the interfaces connected to the chain.
So I wanted to ask you if there is a way to set the order "software" interface linked in a chain , arranging them in order to start the chain and not in alphabetical order.
I hope you understand what my question , as a result of the intricate reasoning above .
Thank you in advance , best regards.
