I use a 6 output audio interface on my church. It will always be there. At home, I have 2 output audio interface. How to make it simpler whenever I want to change setting on my gig files at home an bring it back to the church? Usually, I need to redo all the connection to audio interface output. With so many plugins, and several gig files, it is tedious.
If you have your gig set up to use 6 output channels and then open it while using an audio interface with 2 channels, Gig Performer should ask you about this and create virtual output channels which are then mapped to your physical ones:
it looks like the problem is in going the other way, that there are more output channels on the second device than on the first device.
i’d suggest looking at Loopback - i’ve found it useful for this situation. it took a little while to get my head around it, understanding what a “virtual channel” is for example, but once i created a Loopback device that matched with all of my various inout and output devices AND my occasional looping situation with 2 instances of GP, things are quite easy.
and GP users get a discount…i didn’t know about that when i bought it hahaha
Yes - if you never routed anything beyond channels 1 and 2 then this will not come up as you do not need virtual channels. It will only create as many virtual channels as you need for that gig file.
I guess you could create a blank gig file with your 6 output interface and connect something from the last input to the last output channel. That will force this virtual channel creation.
