Hi! Anyone using the Rytm MK2 or A4 Mk2 as an audio interface through Ableton? If I have assigned one of these devices as an audio interface in the Ableton settings and use the headphone input of the device that is assigned, I get a double signal. Does anyone know if this is normal and/or what to do in this case? Or is it advisable to use a better audio interface anyway? I definitely use OB.
The idea is that you plug your other instrument into the inputs of the Elektron box, and the box in via USB. That’s all the connections.
The input will have its own channel, separate from the synth tracks and the fx channel

Thank you for your feedback signal. I didn’t quite understand that. So is it better to use a real audio interface or do I not use OB with an Elektron device?
It’s better to use the Elektron box for the electron tracks as it works at native 24/48 and multitracks.
For an external synth, it’s up to you. If your audio interface is higher bitrate than 24bit /48kHz you might want to use that.
If you are talking about hearing a double signal when you route the Rytm/A4 signal to an audio track in Ableton to record it, the way to avoid this is to select “Sends Only” in the “Audio to” field of the audio track.
Ah, I think I articulated myself wrong, not so easy sometimes. So I want e.g. use the A4 Mk2 as an audio interface. now i don’t have monitor boxes but headphones. the headphones must be connected to the audio interface in order to be able to hear the sound. If I now connect the headphones to the A4, which, as I said, also acts as an audio interface, I get the signal from ableton and the signal from the A4 itself, which means more precisely if I e.g. set the fader of one of the tracks of the A4 to low via OB via ableton, but there is still a signal from the A4 itself - I hope this is explained in a reasonably understandable way. The same problem also occurs when I change the FX routing on the A4.
I have the same problem, using Rytm mk2 as interface is twice as loud as my DAW when I turn it down the volume on DAW goes down so unable to use unless I plug in to my normal sound card. Any ideas?
Isn’t there an audio routing section in Settings on the unit where you can disable local sound? So that the tracks aren’t sent to Ableton then doubled when Ableton outputs things back through the unit. I don’t own an AR or A4 anymore but I swear there’s a system setting for audio routing. Digi boxes have that as well.
Thanks man I’ll take a look at that, that’s does make a lot of sense.
