Can you elaborate? I don’t understand what you’re trying to do without plugins?
I want to pair my UMC1820 audio device with the SoundSource app.
I simply want a One-Stop-Shop to put all my wiring under the GP umbrella. Thus, avoid a cheesy SoundSource display floating over the GP panel.
The pairing concept has been discussed in this community before to provide a rich tool to manage a complex audio performance in Audio Midi Studio. My studio includes 4 pipe organ keyboards, a pipe organ pedal board, Kurzweil K2600 rack, DX7-2FD, Roland RD-2000 Stage Grand. and iPad.
Good News: I could pick an Aggregated or Multi-Device option from the Audio Device check list.
Bad News: Audio Midi Studio fails to show a SoundSource option in that list!
I tried CoPilot’s way to add a SoundSource app, but it fails to show up - even restarting both Audio Midi Studio and SoundSource as suggested
If this post is still unclear, please advise what is missing.
From what I read, you what to control all of your Mac’s audio routing within Gig Performer. I believe that GP allows for only one Audio Interface (per instance) so not sure if you can do that. Maybe if you use an aggregate audio device for your sound setting in gig performer, but then again, Audio MIDI Setup would be used to determine the routing of devices (outside of GP).
It appears the Sound Source is just an App that allows routing betwee 3 types of physical devices, Speakers, Microphone, and Sounds.
For App routing to these devices, it looks like it is an all or nothing proposition, so everything from GP would be routed to a selected device.
Now ever your aggregate device has different audio channels, you should be able to draw wiring to the desired audio channel in our audio output block. Just expose the number of outputs by selecting the number required in your output block and route your audio based on which channels your devices are using. Say one device is on channel 1 and 2 another on 3 and 4 an another or 5 and 6. So you would select your devices by those channels in your GP wiring.
I hope this helps!

SoundSource is not a sound device, it it an application. If you want to show it on the list, maybe look into VB-Audio Cable and add it as an aggregate device. And communicate with SoundSource through that.
By adding VB-Audio Cable to my sound devices, I use it to send my Mac MINI M4 speaker sound through Sonobus over the network to my Windows PC. LoopBack may also provide this type of capability with some extra functionality but a higher price.

Thanks for the timely reply.
1. SoundSource: My error to assume it would show in Wiring.
2. I own BlackHole and VB-Audio Cable looks great.
3. Midi Setup: No problem there, all devices wire OK.
4. Audio Device = Active in wiring?
a. Normal - UMC1820 - Yes.
b. Aggregate - UMC1820 & Proxy Audio Device - No.
c. Multi Device - UMC1820 & Proxy Audio Device - No.
5. Next Step - Activate device in Wiring.
I'll try the tips on Channel Routing when #4 above is solved.
My CoPilot query’s steps to: SHOW PROXY DEVICE IN WIRING VIEW (they failed in step 3.)
Install the Proxy Audio Device: This device acts as a virtual audio driver, primarily for macOS, routing all audio to different outputs|
Open Wiring View: Open Gig Performer and switch to the Wiring View. You can do this by selecting it from the view options or pressing a keyboard shortcut.
Insert Audio Output Plugin: Right-click on the design surface, navigate to Built-in Plugins, and select Audio Out.
Any clue what’s missing here?

The Audio Out block is the only ‘Audio Output Plugin’ (and its not a plugin) and is automatically present in all wiring views. There’s nothing to insert.
Yeah, knowledge in CoPilot. AI systems are not perfect and more importantly, their suggestions should not be followed blindly, e.g. CoPilot didn’t know that you can’t insert an Audio Out block. The user needs to have domain knowledge to use an AI tool properly.
