Record all Sounds from your Computer with Loopback
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- Loopback is a special and very useful feature in TotalMix FX. With Loopback, you can take output of one software program, and send this back as an input signal for a different software program. Or you can create a mix of input signals, playback signals, or both, and send this back as a stereo input for recording. It works just like plugging a cable from an output channel to an input channel, except it all happens inside TotalMix and therefore works completely transparent.

If you can, stay at home and make music. We hope you and your family are doing well.
RME TEAM, naive and stupid sheeps
I hope RME are aware of how beautiful this is... :-)
We are ;-)
At last a clear explanation of how this works, and just traid it - it does! Beware: when you route back in through Loopback you will not see the signal appear at the respective input on Totalmix (in this video ADAT 15/16), this is confusing, but find the input on your DAW from the correct Totalmix input, arm it to record and you will see the signal appear.
The level meter of the hardware inputs only refers to the physical inputs.
Absolutely love this feature. I use it all the time with my Babyface Pro Fs on the road and my PCIe AIO Card at home.
Loopback is really an amazing feature. Saved a lot of cables :-D
I want this.Baby face pro fs.
The most powerful thing really is the fact that you can do as many sub mixes from your software outputs as you have physical outputs. Then loop them back and record that sub mix... it really is powerful stuff :)
It is :-)
I have had Total mix since I purchased my FF400 for years and I still do not have control of it. Replaying videos doesn't help... I tried Prevegen, Neureva, Focus Factor... nothing helps. I am very glad there is a reset function for when I really screw things up. This video helps me tremendously. Thank you. :P
Loopback is definitely one of dealbreaker functions of RME!
though, just in case someone will have problems with loopback functionality within OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) - it doesn't work on MacOS sadly (because OBS expects only 2in/2out audio interface under MacOS), workaround is either switching your RME interface into Class-Compliant mode (stereo only) or use third-party app to capture RME inputs (Loopback by Rogue Amoeba for ex.)
Thx, for the info!
Same here in Windows. Would be soo great if it would work in OBS as easy as everywhere else :(
But thanks for the workaround. I will try that out.
I think the same applies to Discord as OBS. What Discord sees as simple input output makes it difficult to have multiple input output functionality under totalmix. It's something I would like to see more video tutorials re this subject from rme

@@RMEAudio That solved it! Thx a lot for posting this :)
I saw you using Fireface UFX II, may i using "Babyface Pro FS" to record all Sounds from my Computer with Loopback ?
Thank You
Still confused. I wanna record a "production tutorial" on Windows 10. Inputs would me my webcam and mic for talking as well as my Fireface UCX II outpout (as an input for Powerdirector Screen Recorder) -> at the moment only webcam mic works. how do I route correctly? thanks
Many thanks for this video - I've been using a FF UCX for 6 years and actually didn't know about this feature until now! :)
About time :-D
Can I record my Mixbus output - through DA - AD converters back into Protools with the help of TotalMix FX please ?
Great function, I'm finding the audio levels extremely low when I record though, is there anything I can do to fix this (even with every fader turned up full its still very quiet).
i cant get this to work! on windows/abelton i have windows coming through on adat 3/4. When i route submix to hw out 3/4 or 5/6 or both with loopback on and hw in adat 3/4 or 5/6 or both with fader up to 0, then arm 3/4 or 5/6 in ableton, auto and record i get nothing!
Fantastic function! I use it all the time with my BabyFace Pro FS.
Thank you for posting...
Glad you like it :-)
Is there any reason why this doesn't seem to work in obs?
@RME: While making FaceTime-sessions on mac during corona-lockdown, I needed this setup:
- Input mic for instrument (mono on channel 1).
- Input mic for speak (mono on channel 2).
- Prerecorded backing-track, played from iTunes/QuickTime or DAW (stereo).
- Headphones connected for monitoring and hearing students.
The students should be able to hear the two mics (with different levels) mixed with the backing track..
It didn’t seem possible to route (and mix) this. It was as if FaceTime only took the first input channels directly from the source (without TotalMix). The same problems occurred when using other apps like Zoom.
Can you please make a video that shows how to make these routings in TotalMix and setup on mac os?
Exactly what I need. I also have not been able to make this work.
Hey @@the_optimism_project, Have you been able to come up with a workaround?
@TromBoensvang - no and my next Device is definitely not from RME
@@the_optimism_project You have to enable all of your ADAT channels in the sequencer as the hardware outputs pairs don't always match. On completion, make a snapshot in n TM and disable the ADAT channels not used in de sequencer. One never sells a RME.
@@Lordxfx People do sell them! I got a Babyface Pro FS, less that two months old because the person selling it found Total Mix too complicated to use. I paid £200 for it.
Does DURec record loopback signals?
When I connect the output to the input I just get 250 watts of digital feedback. Your diagram at 0:43 shows Output > Input so how does that ever work?
Because you likely have the fader for the input channel turned up on the input channel you're using for loopback. With the loopback feature enabled, leave the fader all the way down on the input section and it shouldn't feedback.
Can I use the ADAT Channels for Loopback (so as you say, I don't have to sacrifice any of the other inputs) even if there is nothing connected to them? Probably not, as they aren't shown as Inputs in Ableton without any Preamp connected - right?
I'm a year late to reply but yes, you can send to a channel not being used - in fact, this is the best use-case for channels not in use. In Ableton, go to your preferences, then the audio tab, then click the "output config" button and turn on whichever channel you are using.
If it's all done in software then why must we give up an input channel to use loopback? Why can't there be a dedicated virtual-input loopback channel on the input mixer?
I wonder. Will Rme release a new sound card in 2020 or 2021? As updated cards available. How can ufx + be updated?
;-)
Should I get ufx+? Wait for the new card? 🤣
Hi is it possible to use loopback to use your laptop microphone as a talkback mic?
Absolutely love this
awesome, can you show how to send to a hardware compressor and back in with tmix, please
Video will come soon :-)
@@RMEAudio thanks guys, rme got it going
Great video thanku. I have a question. If my mix is ready for exporting. Will i benefit from recording the mix trough looopback opposed to regular export/bouncing? I was wondering if i get a better/diffrent sound “printing” my mixes/masters this way.
Very helpful
Thanks
You're welcome!
So, I don’t need my hardware patchbay anymore?
Nope :-)
Okay here we go ... i have hammerfall 9652 and use RME totalmix FX first off all i dont have fx on the HDSP 9652. 2th thing is the totalmix says HDSP 9652 (1) - 48.0k Why the (1) ? Last thing but for me i think the biggest part is... when i select assign main and or headphones that adat channel will dissapear from th hardware ouputs section same for phones i use 3/4 for main and 5/6 for phones. I want to do the right thing cause that maybe will save cpu or crackles when i record in cubase. I watched all the RME vids but i just dont get it all i see is demo's of other types of interfaces. All i see is demo's with other mains or phones sections. Do i have to change control room settings in cubase? cause there i send signal to 3/4 output and 5/6 phones. It all works for now but i think it can do better please help me out here cause it i want to be able to monitor sounds from the daw without being limited i bouht the RME hdsp 9652 years ago and i will never change to anything else but i think i do something wrong and missing the big thing here
Hi does this work with Windows 10 too? I cannot get Loopback to work. Trying to get OBS to work with my RME UFX+ and Ableton Live.
OBS usually works with WDM. Have you activated the WDM channels in the driver settings? There is also an ASIO plugin for OBS. That would solve the WDM problem.
hello good morning, I work with the HDSP card and MADI FXS is it possible to make these settings?
Yes this works with all RME interfaces which have TotalMix FX.
Hold up, so if I enable loopback on outputs 1/2 on, say, a BabyFace, does that mean I no longer have use of the mic preamps?
Yes, the loopback signal has priority. If you want to use your mic and the loopback funktion you have to use a different output for loopback. You can copy your output to a different output by right clicking. If you work on Mac you have to use a workaround if you want to use mic and loopback for streaming, because most streaming softwares on Mac only accepts the first 2 inputs of the interface. ruclips.net/video/Mpibtzb72RI/видео.html
Pls help me! im doing everythign right but im getting my audio grainy likes it recorded twice. what am i doing wrong!
Please contact our support via e-mail support@rme-audio.com or via facebook.
Have you figured it? If not, Try pulling the fader of the track being recorded onto in your DAW all the way down. You’ll still hear the computer audio on the Software Playback in Total Mix (the channel renamed ‘Computer) during record. After recording lift fader back up in your DAW and check your recording. What did you find out from Support?
Thx for the help guys!! 🙌🏽
You're welcome :-)
When I do this, I get a constant repetitive glitching noise to every sound the computer makes that loops over itself getting louder and louder. Any reason why this would be happening? On my other computer, I hook the interface up to an 8-channel preamp using ADAT and route it to input 11-12 on Logic and it works fine. Thanks
Please contac us on facebook.
Turn the applicable middle (software) row fader/s down - otherwise they'll cause a feedback loop. These are being fed back into a hardware input via the Loopback feature - you should only have that hardware input feeding into your speakers/phones/etc (and fader down on the applicable 'original' software middle row). You're essentially going to have 2 copies of the 'loopback' audio - which you don't want playing back at the same time.
Great, thanks! How do I route if I want to have the DAW sound in Zoom?
Love this feature : )
Hello!
I'm on the fence of buying the FF802 for my new studio. Before I buy something, I always check the manual. And there I've read under "PLAYBACK" the following:
"We strongly recommend switching all system sounds off (via >Control Panel /SoundsControl Panel
/Multimedia /Audio< or >Control Panel /Sound /Playback
Thank you!
I don't know why but I cannot setup OBS for streaming with the 802. I can select 802 as the audio interfaceon OBS but no sounf comes in...
We are currently preparing a video about exactly this topic. Stay tuned!
please note that in my setup it only shows this, I cannot select any channels:

obs wont play any audio when i route obs audio output to adat 3/4
I am using Fireface 800. During the global pandemic I am taking lessons with a professor online. I need to use a microphone and a guitar in Skype. In this case, do I need to loopback the main output, or can I use other outputs? Thanks in advance. Ray
Skype can only take the first two inputs as a source. Therefore you have to use Loopback. Or you do a more complex routing.
maybe I m stupid but I can,t nor rename channel either get signal on input :(((
Excellent ! Good to know!
:-)
im getting a loopback. and its creating feedback. im using logic x and rme babyface pro.
rme is great sounding audio interface, however and frankly for me, and it seems for other users, the totalmix fx is not user friendly.
I understand it has great features, however most of the tutorials are explained in a manner that beginners will not be able to understand easily.
I cannot for the life of me get the output from Discord to show up in totalmix( if I set the rme interface as the input and output device in Discord, and on my Mac).
I can get output from my mic into discord no problems, what confuses me is why the audio coming back from discord doesn't show up in a software playback channel...
This means I can be heard on Discord, but I can't hear anyone else.
Is this because I am not using the interface in class compliant mode?
Sadly, you are not the only one with this problem. We try to find a solution.
Yes, the Class Compliant Mode bypasses TotalMix FX.
It is a bug in Discord. If you click on mute, you will hear a signal tone that you pressed "mute". Please contact Discord for this matter. support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040580711-Audio-Interface-Issues-on-macOS
Can I use this for MacOS's screen recording?
Yes :)
@@RMEAudio It is working when I am trying to capture Reaper's sound using the loopback feature (screen recording). The issue is, I can get sound out of the videos, but it takes some time for it to start, and it is recorded as a mono track. Any ideas?
Does loopback work on ADAT channels?
Yes, it works on every channel.
how can i add a new input?
That depends on what exactly you want to do. Please contact us on Facebook.
@@RMEAudio dont have facebook but i think the babyface blue cant add more than the 2 ins and the 8 adat ins right?
@@tilliinfinity This is correct. You can expand the Babyface via the optical ADAT connector with an AD converter to have more analogue inputs available.
Love your sound but these videos are confusing and do not help.
how to sell drugs online hahaha

This video absolutely explained nothing.
I don't understand how people can accept to be humiliated by that kind of shit software...
Sophisticated is garbage nowadays
