Just checking Gig Performer and need help! Multiple Outputs?

Hey there, I am new about Gig Performer and need some advice! I am working with Audio Hijack and Loopback since many years, but latency and crackle noises even on well set options make me look for something else.

Simple question here, I did not find an answer by all search I did: Can I use more than one output with Gig Performer, lets say one main output to listen to, and another output used with recordings.

Why? Cause the listening output will have an monitor EQ (for monitor speakers or headphones) added, and the recording output does not have this.

I try and upload screenshots, so you can see what I am talking about.

What do you mean by output?
Different Audio Devices?

On Mac you can use an Aggregate Device.

And here a setup I made with Gig Performer, here I would need a split after Valhalla Vintage Verb, so I could add headphones EQ on one lane, and no EQ on other lane. The EQ lane would be my main listening lane, and the other lane (with a virtual output made with loopback) my recording lane.

Is this possible to do? With Audio Hijack this is done in seconds. With Gig Performer I did not find any solution for this so far!

Different devices are no problem with loopback. But lock at my screenshot of Hijack, the upper lane is the monitor lane with EQ for my headphones, or monitor speakers, and the lower lane is the recording lane for recording clips with Quicktime, for video recording with OBS …

Loopback is a different kind of software.
Gig Performer needs a device.
You can start Loopback and then use Loopback as output device in Gig Performer.

Yes, that is clear, but I need or want two devices down at the Gig performer lane!

That is not possible.
Workaround would be use an aggregate device.

But you could use multiple instances of Gig Performer and each instance can use its own output device.
With GP Relayer you can send audio between the instances.

Here is what I would like to get, did some graphic …

Ok, but with multiple instances the audio - CPU - will rise for sure!

With multiple instances you can use different CPU cores.
GP at this time only uses 1 core.

If this is not possible, that would be a bit disappointing, as there is often situations I need different outputs for the same signal lane.

Why no use an aggregate device?

Ideally you should just have an interface with multiple outputs - this would solve all the problems in a perfect way.

May be I try, but setting up multiple instances for each sound that I want to use, seems to be pretty work and time intense to me. Just too much of action for such a simple option, I think.

I am no aware of any VST Host or DAW where you can use multiple physical output devices.

I also have an UAD Arrow, but I do not want to work with Unison slot plugins, and all that console stuff, and all the UAD installing action anymore, so now I am only using UAD Volt 1 which is working fine for me.

Did you look at my Audio Hijack screenshot? This works like a charme. Only crackle noises when using more plugins make me look for another app, and thought Gig Performer could do this. May be I thought wrong here.

Audio Hijack is a total different software, like Loopback.
Gig Performer is a VST Host
