For two songs, I want to give the click to the drummer who’s playing with the SPD SX.
I need the click too ! I’ll be using Ableton Live and Link to send the audio of the click to the drummer.
So what I think is possible is that : route the headphone output of my sound interface to the audio in of the SPD.
Then, the drummer will have to select PHONES in the Audio In settings so that the click is not routed to the main output.
I’ll use the 2nd headphone output of my sound interface to hear the click too.
Is this how it works ?
Thanks guys.
PS : Sorry for not being very clear, and to ask almost the same question as last time…
We have the gig tomorrow !
If you’re using a digital mixer and each one of you has an AUX out to their IEM then you could simply routed your click from GP to a spare channel and mix as much or as little as anyone wants.
Another idea is to just install a phone app that has Ableton Link enabled, connect to your network and have a personal clicker. Other than that not sure many will understand exactly what your environment is.
I have GP and Ableton Live.
For two songs, I want my variations to change automatically (thanks to virtual bus IAC clips I made in Ableton) so that I don’t have to think about it.
So we must play with the click.
The SPD player needs to hear my click AND to hear is SPD playing in his headphone.
I need to ear the click too since I’m beginning alone in one tune.
So we need to both hear the click and the click must not go FOH.
The main reason is that I can’t have it now, it is in a far away place !!
I’m stupid, and I just bought a Art HeadAmp4 for nothing…thinking this would help !!
There is a view in Total Mix where you see 3 sections.
The upper row shows all physical inputs.
The row in the mid shows the so called “Software Return”, this is for the signals you are sending
from Gig Performer and Ableton Live.
In the lower row it shows the physical output.
On the right side of the lower row you should see your 2 headphon output.
Now you just route your signals to your main outs and your phone outputs.
There are tons of videos in You Tube showing that.
Thank you !
If I succeed to do this, we will indeed both be able to hear the click.
But the SPD player stil needs to hear himself play. So then I guess they are 2 possibilities :
1 - I use the Audio IN stuff on the SPD and so the Headphone out of the RME will go into his SPD (hope I can make it work).
2 - The stereo outputs of the SPD go into the instrument 3/4 of the RME and I do the mix but I don’t feel that’s the easiest way around… not sure !
