I saw you using Fireface UFX II, may i using "Babyface Pro FS" to record all Sounds from my Computer with Loopback ? Thank You

@RME: While making FaceTime-sessions on mac during corona-lockdown, I needed this setup: - Input mic for instrument (mono on channel 1). - Input mic for speak (mono on channel 2). - Prerecorded backing-track, played from iTunes/QuickTime or DAW (stereo). - Headphones connected for monitoring and hearing students. The students should be able to hear the two mics (with different levels) mixed with the backing track.. It didn’t seem possible to route (and mix) this. It was as if FaceTime only took the first input channels directly from the source (without TotalMix). The same problems occurred when using other apps like Zoom. Can you please make a video that shows how to make these routings in TotalMix and setup on mac os?

[@_emanmodnar]

Hey @@the_optimism_project, Have you been able to come up with a workaround?

[@Lordxfx]

@@the_optimism_project You have to enable all of your ADAT channels in the sequencer as the hardware outputs pairs don't always match. On completion, make a snapshot in n TM and disable the ADAT channels not used in de sequencer. One never sells a RME.

[@SlinkiestTortoise23]

@@Lordxfx People do sell them! I got a Babyface Pro FS, less that two months old because the person selling it found Total Mix too complicated to use. I paid £200 for it.

[@TazzSmk]

Loopback is definitely one of dealbreaker functions of RME! though, just in case someone will have problems with loopback functionality within OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) - it doesn't work on MacOS sadly (because OBS expects only 2in/2out audio interface under MacOS), workaround is either switching your RME interface into Class-Compliant mode (stereo only) or use third-party app to capture RME inputs (Loopback by Rogue Amoeba for ex.)

[@RMEAudio]

Thx, for the info!

[@felixbarbarino]

Same here in Windows. Would be soo great if it would work in OBS as easy as everywhere else :( But thanks for the workaround. I will try that out.

[@DewPoint567]

I think the same applies to Discord as OBS. What Discord sees as simple input output makes it difficult to have multiple input output functionality under totalmix. It's something I would like to see more video tutorials re this subject from rme

@@RMEAudio That solved it! Thx a lot for posting this :)

[@hopetea7670]

At last a clear explanation of how this works, and just traid it - it does! Beware: when you route back in through Loopback you will not see the signal appear at the respective input on Totalmix (in this video ADAT 15/16), this is confusing, but find the input on your DAW from the correct Totalmix input, arm it to record and you will see the signal appear.

[@RMEAudio]

The level meter of the hardware inputs only refers to the physical inputs.

[@mikesparti828]

I have had Total mix since I purchased my FF400 for years and I still do not have control of it. Replaying videos doesn't help... I tried Prevegen, Neureva, Focus Factor... nothing helps. I am very glad there is a reset function for when I really screw things up. This video helps me tremendously. Thank you. :P

[@Mtaalas]

The most powerful thing really is the fact that you can do as many sub mixes from your software outputs as you have physical outputs. Then loop them back and record that sub mix... it really is powerful stuff :)

[@RMEAudio]

It is :-)

[@jboston4660]

Great function, I'm finding the audio levels extremely low when I record though, is there anything I can do to fix this (even with every fader turned up full its still very quiet).

[@passje8007]

Yes, good point, I wonder why this is, RME?

[@bassplayer9432]

Many thanks for this video - I've been using a FF UCX for 6 years and actually didn't know about this feature until now! :)

[@RMEAudio]

About time :-D

[@thecomputerband3303]

My obs doesnt pick up my signal. I've tried everything. I followed all videos. Nothing. I also don't see any signal on ADAT. or do I need physical connection for signal to show on meters?

[@johnhunter4181]

When I connect the output to the input I just get 250 watts of digital feedback. Your diagram at 0:43 shows Output > Input so how does that ever work?

[@SomebodyPickaName]

Because you likely have the fader for the input channel turned up on the input channel you're using for loopback. With the loopback feature enabled, leave the fader all the way down on the input section and it shouldn't feedback.

[@arvee72]

Does DURec record loopback signals?

[@frankfurtbrdi5171]

Still confused. I wanna record a "production tutorial" on Windows 10. Inputs would me my webcam and mic for talking as well as my Fireface UCX II outpout (as an input for Powerdirector Screen Recorder) -> at the moment only webcam mic works. how do I route correctly? thanks

[@inspyremusicnl5826]

Great video thanku. I have a question. If my mix is ready for exporting. Will i benefit from recording the mix trough looopback opposed to regular export/bouncing? I was wondering if i get a better/diffrent sound “printing” my mixes/masters this way.

[@friedrichtrede1735]

Can I use the ADAT Channels for Loopback (so as you say, I don't have to sacrifice any of the other inputs) even if there is nothing connected to them? Probably not, as they aren't shown as Inputs in Ableton without any Preamp connected - right?

[@SomebodyPickaName]

I'm a year late to reply but yes, you can send to a channel not being used - in fact, this is the best use-case for channels not in use. In Ableton, go to your preferences, then the audio tab, then click the "output config" button and turn on whichever channel you are using.

[@Kiez-hypnoseDe]

Great, thanks! How do I route if I want to have the DAW sound in Zoom?

[@thefunkfactory]

Hi is it possible to use loopback to use your laptop microphone as a talkback mic?

[@TeRongo]

i cant get this to work! on windows/abelton i have windows coming through on adat 3/4. When i route submix to hw out 3/4 or 5/6 or both with loopback on and hw in adat 3/4 or 5/6 or both with fader up to 0, then arm 3/4 or 5/6 in ableton, auto and record i get nothing!

[@RaytownProductions]

Is there any reason why this doesn't seem to work in obs?

[@BoGusaddy]

If it's all done in software then why must we give up an input channel to use loopback? Why can't there be a dedicated virtual-input loopback channel on the input mixer?

[@VedunianCraft]

Hello! I'm on the fence of buying the FF802 for my new studio. Before I buy something, I always check the manual. And there I've read under "PLAYBACK" the following: "We strongly recommend switching all system sounds off (via >Control Panel /SoundsControl Panel /Multimedia /Audio< or >Control Panel /Sound /Playback

[@helmanfrow]

Hold up, so if I enable loopback on outputs 1/2 on, say, a BabyFace, does that mean I no longer have use of the mic preamps?

[@RMEAudio]

Yes, the loopback signal has priority. If you want to use your mic and the loopback funktion you have to use a different output for loopback. You can copy your output to a different output by right clicking. If you work on Mac you have to use a workaround if you want to use mic and loopback for streaming, because most streaming softwares on Mac only accepts the first 2 inputs of the interface. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6HMk6ewl5xliKs

[@alexsande4804]

Fantastic function! I use it all the time with my BabyFace Pro FS.

[@Emanuelassies]

Okay here we go ... i have hammerfall 9652 and use RME totalmix FX first off all i dont have fx on the HDSP 9652. 2th thing is the totalmix says HDSP 9652 (1) - 48.0k Why the (1) ? Last thing but for me i think the biggest part is... when i select assign main and or headphones that adat channel will dissapear from th hardware ouputs section same for phones i use 3/4 for main and 5/6 for phones. I want to do the right thing cause that maybe will save cpu or crackles when i record in cubase. I watched all the RME vids but i just dont get it all i see is demo's of other types of interfaces. All i see is demo's with other mains or phones sections. Do i have to change control room settings in cubase? cause there i send signal to 3/4 output and 5/6 phones. It all works for now but i think it can do better please help me out here cause it i want to be able to monitor sounds from the daw without being limited i bouht the RME hdsp 9652 years ago and i will never change to anything else but i think i do something wrong and missing the big thing here

[@dsptetrahidrops]

im getting a loopback. and its creating feedback. im using logic x and rme babyface pro.

[@JeremyShieldsMusic]

When I do this, I get a constant repetitive glitching noise to every sound the computer makes that loops over itself getting louder and louder. Any reason why this would be happening? On my other computer, I hook the interface up to an 8-channel preamp using ADAT and route it to input 11-12 on Logic and it works fine. Thanks

[@RMEAudio]

Please contac us on facebook.

[@ChrisM541]

Turn the applicable middle (software) row fader/s down - otherwise they'll cause a feedback loop. These are being fed back into a hardware input via the Loopback feature - you should only have that hardware input feeding into your speakers/phones/etc (and fader down on the applicable 'original' software middle row). You're essentially going to have 2 copies of the 'loopback' audio - which you don't want playing back at the same time.

[@DanielBrophyMusic]

Hi does this work with Windows 10 too? I cannot get Loopback to work. Trying to get OBS to work with my RME UFX+ and Ableton Live.

[@RMEAudio]

OBS usually works with WDM. Have you activated the WDM channels in the driver settings? There is also an ASIO plugin for OBS. That would solve the WDM problem.

[@RyldodiSouza]

[@RMEAudio]

Skype can only take the first two inputs as a source. Therefore you have to use Loopback. Or you do a more complex routing.

[@qxstep2050]

Have you figured it? If not, Try pulling the fader of the track being recorded onto in your DAW all the way down. You’ll still hear the computer audio on the Software Playback in Total Mix (the channel renamed ‘Computer) during record. After recording lift fader back up in your DAW and check your recording. What did you find out from Support?

[@nantschev]

Absolutely love this

[@DewPoint567]

I cannot for the life of me get the output from Discord to show up in totalmix( if I set the rme interface as the input and output device in Discord, and on my Mac). I can get output from my mic into discord no problems, what confuses me is why the audio coming back from discord doesn't show up in a software playback channel... This means I can be heard on Discord, but I can't hear anyone else. Is this because I am not using the interface in class compliant mode?

[@RMEAudio]

Sadly, you are not the only one with this problem. We try to find a solution. Yes, the Class Compliant Mode bypasses TotalMix FX.

It is a bug in Discord. If you click on mute, you will hear a signal tone that you pressed "mute". Please contact Discord for this matter. support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040580711-Audio-Interface-Issues-on-macOS
