As I connected my Digitakt USB audio to Ableton I discovered that my usual audio interface was disconnected: In fact, every DAW accepts one USB input at a time. So my question was: How to merge 2 USB audio interfaces to use them into a DAW?
This is the method I found on Mac OSX, I’m quite sure there is a way to do that on Windows
MAC OSX
- Applications — Utility — Audio Midi Setup
- Click on the plus button in the lower left corner and select “Create aggregate device”
In the right panel, select the devices to merge (in my case Audient ID14 and Digitakt Core Audio)
In the left panel there will be a new device with the 2 interfaces merged. It is possible to rename it, I called the new merged device “Digitakt & Audient”
Open Ableton or any other DAW, go to preferences and select the new audio input
Now, in the DAW channel, select input desidered
That’s it.
Here is my template project for Digitakt audio in
Enjoy!
