volume fader to plugin/out

fraction's icon

Hi,
i m asking however i dont think it's really possible through a direct way with live.observer, otherwise it would everywhere already including in audio-route, which is not the case

I'd like to get the track volume fader information so the input gain in the device of plug-in is correlated to it,

I cant manage to do it with observer neither find a way to do it

Idea?

yes i know, but the way plugin/plug out are implemented seem a bit weird. I dont see other way to try to keep a similar volume behavior in Ableton and from a device using plugin/plugout without adding a live.gain in the device, but plugout involves some kind of recursive behavior because live is listening to its gain back, so actually the signal that get in will be decoralted to the log value, and it also the volume would decrease much faster in the chain plugin/plugout than without it.
Am i clear?

I dont understand there isn't an obvious way to do this, as getting volume fader behavior from a device seem a first need to me. It seems you are just stuck because plugout send back the gain to live fader.

have a look

you want to replace the "live fader" with a m4l device and control it with the "live fader"?
You can send the Audio to a "pre fader buss" and disable the master routing or use the live 11 routing direct from you device to the master and bypass the "live fader"

no this is not what i want to achieve. I want that the volume fader of a live track controls the plugout gain of a specific device place on that track, means that is the same for the user. As i said, i doubt it's possible.
