Here is where the connection is important, if you are using a spdif cable from apollo to dbox DAW input, then you will be using the DBox digital to analog conversion and using the Dbox volume knob to control the volume of your monitors. The print mix track then should send to Output 1/2 (which is the default stereo output pair in logic) in Logic preferences. Then you have the sum output going back into apollo 7/8 where it is picked up by logic in an Aux track that sends to the print mix track. The reason I ask is if you are not cabled that way then you should not be sending anything out of the apollo through the spdif output.įrom your earlier post it sounds like you have Logic sending a track to Output 1/2 which is then physically sent out of Apollo output 1/2 and should go to the Dbox sum inputs. So if you check that box then what your really hearing is the ANALOG signal source which is BEFORE it gets summed correct?ĭo you have the Apollo wired to the DAW input of the DBox using a spdif cable from the Spdif output on the Apollo? It would be a special cable that goes spdif digital split to Left and Right male XLR, I had to have mine made. However, I didn't think that was correct, because the Output 1/2 on the Apollo is connected to the "ANALOG" input on the Dbox. If I check that box then I hear the DAW input form the Dbox. The only setting that I see that comes close to that is a box that says "SPDIF Mirrors Output 1/2". One thing you mentioned was the "mirrored" SPDIF box in the Apollo settings. so is there something that just works slightly different in Logic? Not sure as I am brand new to Logic. Now keep in mind this routing and connection scheme I am using here is exactly the same in Studio One and it works perfectly. So, i think I am not hearing the SUMMED Signal. However, if I switch over to the ANALOG or SUM mode on the Dbox, i do hear the signal. So that's why I don't hear anything when in SUM mode on the Dbox. I don't see that signal on a AUX track or the master fader. I can see all the signals coming in/out on every track mentioned above EXPECT.the output to the SPDIF from the Print track. The 7/8 return is being routed to a Stereo Audio track called Print Track and that Print Track output is going to the SPDIF out 19/20 on the Apollo. On the Apollo, I have the Sum Out of the D-box coming back into the Apollo on 7/8 as the return.ģ. Audio Track track 1 > Output of that audio track is sent to a Bus AUX track > Output of Bus is sent to a Stem Output Aux Track.Ģ. I totally understand your method of routing and I am doing exactly that. Paste in here, and then use those files to master the tracks in a new project, which you would bounce/dither like normal. Once it is recorded, go into the file manager and find out the name of the file that is recorded (Logic X uses a different name for each file than is actually found in finder) Once you know the name, go to finder and to where your project audio files are kept, copy the file, do not move it and I like to create a new folder in my Project folder called Send to Master. What you will do is actually record the mix on the Print Mix track all the way through in real time. If you want to add any processing to the Dbox aux track, go ahead and put the plugins there so you can print the effects to the track, such as a compressor or eq.Īlso the apollo needs to know the spdif output is your new monitored output so I think there is a setting to mirror output to spdif in their settings.īecause you are using the dbox to sum, you will also not bounce tracks to export a final mix like normal in logic. Once it is all setup, save it as a template. Record enable the print mix track to hear the new mix, also control click the solo button to put the print mix track in solo safe mode which will allow you to solo the regular audio tracks that are being stemmed out to the dbox. On the aux track when you send the output to a bus, logic might create another aux track automatically, you can delete this, the signal should still flow to the Print Mix track. This aux track will output to a bus which will be picked up by an audio track called print mix. The sum signal from Dbox needs to be wired to come back into the apollo, so wire that to go to a couple inputs, sounds like you have that coming in 7/8? From there back in logic create an Aux track called Dbox to receive the summed signal with inputs 7/8. I think you have that part correct since you can hear the sum signal. Send the aux tracks out to your various outputs for mix stems to be summed in the Dbox. In general from what I remember, you setup your audio tracks to aux tracks in logic. Here are a couple setup guides for Apollo and DBox: I had an Apollo for a while but have sold it since, though I still have a D-box. I will try to help you with what I remember.
