As my setup gets more and more complex, I couldn’t resist and stepped deeper into an Overbridge setup, routing the single outs of my A4 and Rytm to the DAW.
As I like the modulation possibilities of the effect sections quite a lot, I was wondering, if it is possible, to route the audio signal via Overbridge through A4 or Rytm in terms of a FX send/return loop.
Is it possible to send the Audio to ext. in and return the wet signal via the main outs?
I haven’t got an answer in another thread. I tried it with audio going from Rytm to Keys once. The problem is that the latency isn’t constant with the plugins, it changes for reasons I do not know. For me it’s too much of a hassle with delay compensation. Maybe chaining Overbridge devices will improve with with Heat.
Looks like this is already implemented in Overbridge. At 5:02min the guy talks about the option to rout external audio through filters and fx (german language).
I second @sicijk comment. Sending audio to EXT IN always outputs the original dry signal on the master outs + any amount of FX applied to it. Therefore this method cannot really be used for return-style FX processing. I guess one could send audio to one of the tracks (A4 user here - guess that applies to the AR as well) as oscillator source and disable the master out for that track to get only the wet signal from the send FX out to main. However obviously you loose a track, the track must be triggered and envelopes need to stay open etc. - so I see that as something you may want to do occasionally (results can be great BTW - esp playing with filters and p-locks) rather than a default “FX box” config. It would indeed be very nice if EXT IN supported some kind od dry/wet adjustment for return-like FX processing (or even just a way to disable entirely the output to main of the incoming signal). I did some tests a while back reported in this post
