Routing all audio through SPDIF on Live Drive: possible?

Third Wave · May 6, 2003, 10:09 PM

Hi all,

Since my first attempt at getting my questions answered died, let me try a different approach:

In order to use Cakewalk's Sonar with an outboard effect, is it possible to route all audio through the LiveDrive spdif out, through an effect with digital I/Os, and then back in through the LiveDrive's Spdif in, with all other audio I/Os muted or off?

It certainly seems doable, but I'm not sure which of the ins and outs on the KX mixer need to be silenced to accomplish this.

Thanks,

TW

yes, it is possible
you will need to have a look at kX DSP - well, the particular recommendations will depend on your settings
for instance, you can route your audio / midi to spdif out directly (via kX DSP)
or you can route particular wave device (such as 'wave 4/5') to spdif out only
then simply enable spdif-in in the mixer

in order to get a more detailed help, pls provide us with more details

Hi Eugene,

I managed to dope it out with lots of experimentation. I think it just took me a while to figure out which button on the KX GUI matched up with the actual LiveDrive Spdif.

Thanks for your post though.

Regards,
