Route my Ableton Click to the Audio IN of SPD... [HOW TO...again !]

Hardware

So apparently, thanks to you and other forums, this should be the solution :

Redirect my Click Track from Ableton to the outputs 3/4 of my BabyFace (is this the male XLR ones on the front ?) 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. The audio In volume must be carefuly adjusted because it seems to saturate easily.
I’ll use the 2nd headphone output of my sound interface to hear the click too.

Hurray !

Well that’s just theory… I have to test this tomorrow whereas I don’t know my sound interface and that the gig is well… tomorrow !

Not sure which Baby Face you have, but typically the jacks on the top are main out L+R and XLR inputs 1-2

You could utilize the headphone out on your Baby Face

@Dextroze I would really urge you to try to read the manuals for your gear in detail - specially when you want to create advanced connections and routings like this. Tapping in the dark and trying things without fully knowing what’s going on could be dangerous for your equipment and your ears.

Yeah I really don’t know what I’m doing here :frowning:
But honestly for now I don’t really understand the manual.
I’ll have to progress :)))

I assume you’re talking about the RME manual — have you contacted RME support? They’re pretty good.
