More Than Stereo Out Possible?

[codycomposer]

Hi there,

We use Show Buddy to play our backing tracks and run our light show. Currently we're only able to run a mono signal to our mains because our drummer uses a click track and vocal cues, which occupy the left channel (right channel contains all backing tracks and goes to the mains).

I'd really love to be able to send a stereo signal to the mains and the click track to an "output 3"… is that possible in Show Buddy, or does it only have stereo out?

The official Show Buddy Setlist 1.8.1 release (and the latest 1.9.2 beta release) have a second stereo output for click tracks, in addition to the primary stereo output. You can grab the installers from www.dmxis.com/download

You will need to first activate a second stereo output in the Preferences > Audio/MIDI Devices.

Then, just load up a song from the Track Library, press the "Click track..." button and choose your secondary stereo track. I recommend you use exactly the same audio format and file length and the main stereo track, to guarantee perfect sync during playback.

That's great news, Dave!

As a follow up, how would you get both stereo outputs out of the computer? Something like a USB audio interface with 4 inputs/outputs?

Yes, exactly. Something like a Behringer UMC204HD or Focusrite Scarlett 4i4...
