Hi guys,

I had trouble sending information from youtube to the Digitakt but I found the little problem that created some headacheā€¦
I am on Mac. DT plugged through USD.

When I tried recording form Youtube I received no signal even with all the necessary set up mentionned above.

The thing is my headphones were connected directly to my laptop, that hijacked somehow the DT to be set up as a soundcard.

Once I plugged my headphones directly to the DT information was flowing through the USD and now I can record what I listen to on Youtube.

Hope this helps.

Hi. Ive been trying to find this out but no luck. Is it possible to record audio into the digitakt directly from a DAW through the USB connection using Overbridge?
I would like to use it as a instant sampler, setting up a send to the Digitakt from any track I want, without using an audio output from my interface, as they are already taken.
Thanks!

Hello,

Sadly, I think itā€™s impossible. I also tried and canā€™t find a satisfying solution. The only way to sample from USB is to set DT as master soundcard in the DAW.

This work but you lost interest of OB plugin.

Also, another big issue with USB sampling is you canā€™t monitor Left or Right channel. To be able to sample from USB, you have to set your DT as soundcard and you will automatically hear any sound in stereo. I think summing L+R is meaningless and much prefer sampling Left OR Right to choose the best side and you canā€™t choose with stereo monitoring.

While they donā€™t fix theses 2 issues, I stick with analog out 3+4 -> DT input L+R and Iā€™m able to send from DAW and monitor each channel separatly.
