Asio4all Ableton Mac

Hello folks!

Apr 25, 2017 Quick video on how to configure ASIO4ALL with Ableton Live. If you would like more information or have a question please visit: https://mikelemense.com/2017/.

I'm trying to set up Ableton for bass recording. I just bought the Focusrite Solo and installed Ableton Live 9 Lite that came with it.
  1. Using Aggregate Devices and multiple audio interfaces. Live Versions: All Operating System: All Aggregate devices on Mac. On Mac it is possible to choose different interfaces as Input and Output device in Live.
  2. No audio drivers needed (unless you're using a third party soundcard and need to install drivers for that). Apple have their own Core Audio drivers/protocol built into Mac OS and iOS.

My first problem was that the default sound driver option MME/DirectX has horrible latency and the Focusrite USB ASIO only shows signal in but never out.
The same goes for ASIO4ALL, with all the hardware options turned on I only get signal in, never out. I have tried all these drivers with the sound card options in Windows 10 set to in/out Focusrite USB and Speakers. I don't know what to try next.
Anyone?

This guide is a basic overview on how to setup your EIE/EIE Pro in Ableton Live Lite, and Ableton Live. These steps will work with most versions of Ableton, although we are using Ableton Live 9 as the example in this walkthrough.

EIE & EIE Pro - Additional Tips

In this section, we will briefly cover selecting specific inputs for Audio tracks, and selecting different outputs for the Master.

Input Selection

  1. First, make sure that Ableton is showing you the I/O settings. You can turn this on by clicking the I/O button next to the Master track on the right side of Ableton.
  2. Now you should see some additional options for both Audio and MIDI tracks appear.
  3. With the EIE and EIE Pro, you can choose to have each input go to separate tracks.
  4. At the bottom of each track, you will see Audio From set to Ext. In. This is your EIE or EIE Pro. Below that field, you will notice another drop-down menu. This setting allows you to choose different configurations of inputs to the track you are working with. The numbers here relate to the numbers on the input jacks.
  5. Once you make a selection, that track will only pick up the audio signal from the inputs you have selected.
Master Output Selection
  1. First, make sure that Ableton is showing you the I/O settings. You can turn this on by clicking the I/O button next to the Master track on the right side of Ableton.
  2. Now you should see some additional options for both Audio and MIDI tracks appear.
  3. The EIE and EIE Pro both have 4 outputs for many different purposes. if you are looking to have your EIE output to something other than the default 1/2, you can adjust this with the Master Out setting at the bottom of the Master column. The numbers here relate to the numbers on the output jacks.
  4. If you are looking to have all 4 outputs passing audio simultaneously, you can set the Cue Out in the same way you did with the Master. A basic configuration would be to set the Master Out to 1/2, and the Cue Out to 3/4. You will then have separate volume controls for each set of outputs.
  5. Once you make a selection, Ableton will only output the Master/Cue to the selections you have made!
