Use different Audiointerfaces

[jpw23]

Hello,

I’m using GP 5.0.9 on Windows with my Laptop and my desktop computer.
There are different audiointerfaces. I’m using only two Inputs and two Outputs.
BUT on my Desktop-Computer Audio IN 1 is my Guitar, Audio IN 2 is my Microphone,

on my Laptop with that Audiointerface, Audio IN 1 is my Microphone, Audio IN 2 is my Guitar.

I know, that GP will create virtual Audioinputs, if i have a different Number of inputs. But that is not the point - both configurations use two INs (and Outs) - but the INs are swapped.

I create my Rackspace on my Desktop and transfer the Rackspace to my Laptop (via GoogleDrive).

So how could I handle this in an easy way?

There should be a possibilty to have settings like “Real Audio IN 1 goes to GP Audio IN XY…”

Is this possible?

You could use the global rackspace as the only place where you use the audio inputs, and then route from there to your local rackspaces using the To/From Global Rackspace blocks. This way you only have to swap the inputs in one place. You could also set things up creatively with panning so that you could use a widget to swap the input routing.

As rank13 said, start by bringing the audio into the global rackspace.

Then add a 4 channel audio mixer. Set the inputs each to mono. Create a toggle type widget (switch, led, doesn’t matter) and attach it to Channel 1-2 output. Create a second widget, link it to the first widget by putting them in the same widget group, then go to the Value tab and hit the “Reverse” so the slope goes the opposite way. Now attach that second one to Channel 3-4 Output of the same mixer block.

Touch either of the widgets and the outputs of the audio block will swap. Could hide one of the widgets so you don’t have to see them both.

This is also a good tip! So here it is broke down with screenshots.

If stereo:

In that last image both mixer outputs are merged into the audio output. I was never that great at math, but I believe A+B = B+A.

I think it would be like this for mono (and pushing the widget would swap the two channels):

or this to do the same thing using stereo.

Or in short word form, with the widget off the signals go straight through the mixer; in the on position they get crossed.

OK, I’ve just edited my post and also added an image for stereo.

I used audio signals with different magnitudes so when the signals are swapped – that can easily be seen on the screenshots.
