I'm using Omnisphere 2 inside my Pro Tools DAW. I understand O2 isn't a standalone synth, and therefore requires a host.
I still use an MPC4000 to sequence and basically create beats before I edit and mix them inside PT. This means I usually prefer to record the synth parts into my MPC before sending them to any Pro Tools channels. So I have a problem.
My hardware is the Saffire Pro 14, and because O2 isn't a standalone, it means I have to send my audio cable, that I would normally connect to the output of a synth - to my Saffire headphones jack in order to pick up a signal from my O2, feeding it into my MPC record function. Surely that's not the way to do this? So the whole PT session, including affects of mixing, distort my O2 sound as it feeds into my MPC. That's definitely not right. I need an independent channel to feed O2 into my MPC, but it has to exist within the PT session. How do I do this?
Thanks
