While it may be relatively simple once figured out, it is still unnecessarily time consuming when all you want is a quick scratch mix of the very thing you are listening to.

Why do I have to re-route to a stereo buss first? No, it's not hard, especially with Option-A, but why the extra steps?Īnyway, for now, I'm pretty excited about AHJ. That would be great! I mean, if I have everything set to output on 25 & 26 of my audio interface, why can't I just record that in DP for a real-time mix. I agree that MOTU should give us something in DP that makes capturing real-time mixes really easy. When I hit record, it just sits there stupid like. Even though it sees it and I've configured it (properly, I think), for some reason it just won't Hijack it.

The one thing I wish I could figure out how to do with AHJ is to tap the main outputs of my RME card's DSP mixer, or the RME card's outputs themselves.

And if you set AHJ to 16-bit you can dither down to it from 24-bit DP and use those mixes for CD burns. All I know is that it has nulled out ten real-time mixes I've done in DP, so that's good. Though there may be some hidden gotchas that I wouldn't know about. I would feel confident doing final mixes to it, actually. I've tested its accuracy and it holds up (not that I'm Consumer Reports or anything). I just keep Audio Hijack Pro open all the time, and ready to record. I am now opening up lots of projects that I had NOT previously created reference mixes for, and it is so nice to be able do this quickly and efficiently.

If Audio Hijack can capture what is coming out of DP, then DP should be able to easily do the same.Īllow me to add that I am really tickled silly about having gotten Audio Hijack Pro to work. I think DP really needs to make this process much easier. It is PAINFUL to be fiddling around with DPs routing scheme every time I want to capture an idea, or do a quick mix when I am tired at the end of the day. Sometimes I want to save a soon-to-be-discarded vocal for reference, etc. Sometimes I just want to do a quick mix of some little mistake or variation with a different MIDI instrument that I want to listen to again later. allowing you to leave your DP project intact and to carry on working.

plus it means recording unnecessary audio to the hard drive.Īudio Hijack Pro allows you to capture exactly what you are hearing, and save it immediately into whatever file format you want. I suppose it might be simpler if one had set up their template with all these routings before-hand, but I have hundreds of DP projects, and each would have to be reconfigured to quickly mix down in this way. The trouble with all this fiddling around with busses, is that you have to change things one way and then change them back to keep working, and there is WAY TO MUCH thinking involved. I appreciate your taking the time to describe the process, but it really is a bit of a process. I have been meaning to respond to your posting of this method in the other thread. Assign your Audio, Aux, and Master tracks to a stereo bus (call it Mix Bus), etc. Wurliuchi wrote.but you can do all this within DP. Thanks for all your hard work in keeping this forum going and in order. Any moves you make to any of the tracks will be recorded.

Turn it off for playback or turn off Audio Patch Thru.) (This track also needs to have its Input Monitor turned on or you won't hear what you're doing. Create a new stereo audio track and set its input to the Mix Bus, set its output to whichever output goes to your monitors (Mains or whatever).

Make sure the Input Monitors are on for any of the audio tracks that are receiving signals from outboard MIDI instruments. Make sure you include the audio tracks that your outboard MIDI instruments are input to, and the virtual instrument tracks. Assign your Audio, Aux, and Master tracks to a stereo bus (call it Mix Bus). I've mentioned this just recently, but you can do all this within DP. It's sort of old school for me to have a mixdown deck and listen as it's going down. fun stuff! Very cool! Also I suppose I could have Alpha Track on the main bus and do realtime fade outs, etc. it would save me from having to render MIDI tracks as audio and make realtime mixes.
