Routing window question

[sonicstrav]

This is a simple set-up I have for recording Scope Synths in Live 8 which allows recording via an 'External Instrument' plug-in. Also I can do it the conventional way with separate MIDI/Audio tracks.

Is there any way this routing could be improved?

Also, I want to mixdown the Audio track through Live. This is obviously only going to render the sound at the Master 1/2 Output in Live. This is routed to 1L/1R on the ASIO2 24bit source which is connected to IL9/IR9 on the STM 1632 (which is what I have been doing). How can I record the output at MixL/MixR from STM1632 ? There is no point putting any effects in STM1632 as they will not be heard in the mixdown at the moment (as it is only from ASIO 24bit source)

Perhaps I need to rewire the whole thing?

I'm a bit confused... you're a longtime user, not? It seems you have been living with only 2 asio channels going out of scope for some years now.

Why not create a few more asio channels? (sorry for stating the obvious, but try double clicking one of the asio modules (don't remember which from memory), and set the number of channels you need.) Then route the second stm master out to channels 2L/R. In Live create a new track for the stm master and mute it while recording. Now you also have that mix.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your problem...

Thanks for your help....even after all these years I know nothing

This forum seemed to over-complicate everything:

It discusses using separate software to record the Scope output from the master track in the sequencer

I have no hardware synths and do no recording - I have a Korg Kontrol 49 as a MIDI controller. I have used the scope stuff as a bank of hardware synths, just recording the output onto each track. The master output has simply been sent straight out. Forgot about adding channels on the destination module and simply routing back to the sequencer. Just have to mute the channel recording the mixdown to avoid nasty feedback.

Any other improvements do you think here?

borg is right - you should be able to just mute the playback to avoid feedback, and just record the main tracks to a separate channel in Live (although I'm not quite sure how well Live handles this).

It's all about the 'inzas to the outtas'...

It was very straightforward after all. When I want to do a recording of the final mix using Scope's master effects it's only a matter of bringing up a 2nd pair of stereo inputs labelled 3/4 in Live and recording the audio with the channel muted - the audio waveform is formed silently, then the input can simply be disconnected. Time to RTFM again . If I don't want to use Scope for mastering there is no requirement for the 2nd inputs. Time ti make better use of the routing. Actually, the reason I bought Scope intially was simply for the Modular synth.

Yeah, Modular is just the 'tip of the iceberg'.
