i have a patch that allows me to modify and trigger my guitar sounds and effects with my midi controller. that all works well. i would like to send sound directly to live from max, but i cannot seem to find the proper information.

i tried outputting sound to soundflower, but on max's side, i then cannot select soundflower as an input. i have tried sending my sound into the plugout~ and on max's side, plugin~, but to no avail.

- max 5
- live 8.1

- firestudio project
- fcb1010
- lots of guitar pedals, etc.

another piece of info: i use my external sound card to get my guitar sounds, but once that is done, i need to reroute the sound to live. i need two audio devices active at the same time, is there really not way to do it?

Do you want to pass audio from one soundcard to Max and thence to Live? When you say two audio devices active at the same time, do you mean two soundcards? I'm sure this isn't possible (although I'm not on a Mac). If a question doesn't get a fairly quick response, it's usually a good idea to cast your net a little wider. I can't help you with Soundflower unfortunately, and the only experience I have of routing digital audio between DAWs is with Rewire, can I suggest you search the forum using keywords such as "soundflower", "route audio", "rewire" etc, and search the Live forum here aswell. Sorry I couldn't help more, but re-routing audio is just something I don't do.

(Note to self - stop replying to questions I don't know the answer too)

If its Live, I would get MaxForLive and turn your patch into a MaxForLive device. Others use also Rewire, but it seems to be a oneway street, I have no experience with it...

You can also have a look at Jack. Jack is a bit more universal than Soundflower as you do all the patching in Jack, which could combine soundcard and application channels into a single driver for Max...

you can do it with soundflower, we're doing it that way

why are you not able to select it in max (as OUTput from what I understand from your plan), select it as input device in live make a new audiotrack with the appropriate channels as input and enable monitoring

@stefan : you can do the combining by making an aggregate device in apple's audio/midi setup app consisting of e.g. soundflower and any devices you'd like
