DT2+Ableton Audio Routing (Mac) Question
Howdy yall. I have been trying to integrate my DT2 into Ableton after having it for a while, but the audio routing is making things less than convenient.
My setup (DT2 aside) is Mac -> Scarlett 4i4 -> Monitors.
I have the DT2 going USB into my Mac.
Now, if I bypass the Scarlett and have my monitors go direct from the DT2, I can hear the DT2 (obviously) and also send audio directly from my Mac to the DT2 for sampling.
I would like to be able to keep the Scarlett in line so that I can use the ins on it for other instruments, but also be able to send audio to the DT2. The problem is, I cant get these to work at the same time. I set up an 'aggregate device' on my Mac that I have been using, but I always am switching back and forth to be able to send sounds to my DT2 and having to use headphone out on the DT to hear what is being sent (to avoid having to swap my 1/4 inches from the scarlett each time).
Is there a simpler workflow I am missing? I know OB is a thing, but havent really delved too deep into it. Ideally I would still be able to use the DT2 without having to open ableton and arm a track for it (not a huge deal, just an ideally thing)
Please tell me your routing! I imagine I have a very common setup. Happy to clarify anything in the comments as I just sort of word-salad'ed that explanation.
