Mike,
Can you tell me more about the iConnect Midi4 that you mentioned on the Digitakt thread? Basically, I’m not quite getting how the audio through works and probably only grasping the bare minimum as to what this thing can do.
Would this allow me to use the Digitakt to sequence a few Volcas, an external sampler, some iOS stuff like Gadget and Maschine on my Mac?
Right now my plan is to hook the hardware stuff (Volcas, sampler, Digitakt) to the Mackie and also run audio from headphone out of my audio interface (Apogee One) into a channel of the mixer or the tape in to be able to hear audio from the computer (basically to get Maschine, which I am running standalone on my Mac into the mix). How would the audio from the iOS be routed in such a setup? Sorry I am usually a totally hardware OTB guy, so once ios and computers are involved I start to cringe. That’s one of the reasons I haven’t really given Maschine a proper chance.
I should probably mention that I’m actually not recording audio using a DAW at the moment other than occasionally using GarageBand. For now, I plan to record from the tape outs of the Mackie to a little Boss multitrack recorder (although I’m contemplating adding an MPC Live to work as a multitrack).
Also, can this run standalone without a computer. That would be essential for me.
