Ok not often I ask for help, but this has me scratching my head.
My wants:
Ive been asked to make a video tutorial on mixing. - so I need to mix a song from start to finish etc. - this I'll use screencapture software to show everything in real time what is what.. right.. sounds easy!.
But..
Screen capture works flawless, nothing to report bad here. but I cant get audio into the capture.
now, being in a studio and having so many options is great. but this I need to simplify. however I don't have the normal "soundcard" as most people..
The session will be in Protools, so this is obv taking up all my audio..
I run Madi connections, via SSL hardware. and to make matters more complex I have a round trip of Desks, Summing mixers, Analog gear then back to protools again. (Loop) - but its trying to figure out what output is transmitting the audio.
I only ever get sound from my computer IF protools is running and I have my monitor outputs armed. (input mode)
I have 26 ins/outs and the madi runs on the first 4 to the PC, the rest is all analog, Ive tried Patching multiple outs from my patchbays into other ins but to no avail, seems like the only outs it seems to take audio from is the 2buss, and of course I need that to run Protools audio..
I can sum any stem/master fader or even my 2buss to other outputs, but then the Screencapture device does not recognize that either.
So ive been driving myself crazy all day. and I guess Im in a sticky situation!.
So anyone have any recommendations?
Ive totally confused you all now I bet.. (and myself)
