ACID PRO 4 software monitoring -ACID Product Family

Subject:ACID PRO 4 software monitoring Posted by: spiral Date:6/6/2004 7:56:09 AM can i somehow turn this off? i need to be able to route my soundcard's outputs to my outboard mixer, and then back into the soundcard's inputs without creating a feedback loop.
Subject:RE: ACID PRO 4 software monitoring Reply by: Iacobus Date:6/7/2004 11:39:32 AM ACID does not have software input monitoring like Vegas does. All that is done by your audio hardware. Depending on your setup, it's possible. If you route your output to the mixer's "tape in" and go from "tape out" to your soundcard's input and use its "tape to control room" switch, you can listen to what's coming from your soundcard in addition to recording anything that's connected to the mixer's channel inserts via the tape out.

Re the above post, channel inserts are a way of applying effects to a channel. I think you meant channel inputs. To reword Lacobus' post, if you send your pc's out(s) to the desk on buss 1-2 or L-R, and whatever you want to record on buss 3-4 (which should be connected to your soundcard's line in), you should be able to hear everything thru your amp, whilst recording only buss 3-4. If your desk only has one stereo buss, you could return sounds to the pc using an aux send. Only real problem with that is many aux sends are mono. BFB
