Hey guys! I’ve been searching pretty hard to try and find something to explain my following question.

How do I sample from my computer (YouTube etc), running through the ‘alt’ outputs (3/4) on my Apollo twin x, into my mpc live inputs, and then from there, back into my mpc controller mode on my MacBook Pro...
every time I switch to the ‘alt’ outs (3/4), no sound comes out so I can’t hear what I’m sampling but I can see there is a signal.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers :worthy:

Pssst, since you’re on a Mac: Try BlackHole on GitHub. It‘s a freeware „emulated intermediate“ interface. Select it as system output and in your DAW as input device. Forget cables. :worthy:

Not sure about your OS though, don‘t know whether it works in Catalina / Big Sur...

But please post in an appropriate thread. That makes finding your topic unnecessarily hard.
