Workflow when using multiple interfaces at different times

[GeometryGod]

Hi - I currently switch between multiple audio interfaces on Gig Performer 4 (not aggregate) on Mac.

Each time I load my set, I have to re assign the I/O on my interface. Is there a way to save my project so it correctly routes to each of my interfaces so I don’t need to create a new Gig for each interface, and adjust each one every time I make a change?

Thanks!

You can save your Audio Configuration, then switch your Audio Interface and then reload the configuration.

Hi @GeometryGod, welcome to the GP community forum.

Do these links help for your use case? If not, please, tell us more…

The solution I follow since GP4 is to never access my audio interface from any rackspace but the global rackspace. Local rackspace use From/To Global Rackspace instead. Hence I can patch my audio interface in the Global rackspace. Following this way, you could save and restore a custom Global Rackspace for different rigs.

I have a UAD Apollo and a WING both connected to different computers On the UAD I use Input 1 Electric Input 2 Acoustic and MIDI Guitar Output 1-2 Electric, Acoustic, Synth, Other Output 3-4 Acoustic Output 5-6 Synth Output 7-8 Other On the WING Input 3 Electric Input 4 Acoustic and MIDI Output 11-12 Electric Output 13-14 Acoustic Output 15-16 Synth/Other All are in the Global Rackspace Right now, I either have to bring up the Gig file and rewire it or save as a separate file whic…

I like the idea of sending rackspace outputs to global and then to the audio interface. I started doing that for some access to global FX and for a master metering plugin for when I want to check that rackspaces are fairly level with each other. But glad to see there’s another benefit of it in case I switch up interfaces

I like the idea of sending rackspace outputs to global and then to the audio interface.

I started to do that at a time when I thought about changes that could occur in the future (e.g. replacement of my audio interface, having to send separate tracks for each synth plugins to a FOH engineer or whatever). And these changes started to happen and I was happy not to have to repatch each local Rackspace. Now I even have a GP 32-Mixer plugin in the Global Rackspace that I use to mix my different plugins located in the local Rackspaces. This way it was quite easy to add a single piece of GPScript in the Global Rackspace to control this 32-Mixer from my control surface which already controls the digital mixer of my RME audio interface. In fact, I don’t use Fx in the Global Rackspace, but with this architecture I could easily decide to do it in the future.
