Note the Inputs and Outputs are purposely alternated to prevent direct patching and subsequent feedback. In fact the I/O Matrix table displays the use of outputs 13+14 for the Cue Monitor Mix (Phones). This will supply additional routing flexibility for monitoring and external recording.


When adding a second participant, the Host’s audio is routed to both participants using two Aux Sends (A), (B). It is nothing more than a discrete audio output with a level control. This is commonly implemented on a hardware mixer or console using an Aux Send. The intent of a single Mix-Minus feed is to send a Host’s audio back to a Session participant. Additionally, my working Motu Audio Interface (8×8) will be added to the Aggregate Device for maximum flexibility. They will be encapsulated in an Aggregate Audio Device created in OSX. Loopback by Rogue Amoeba is used to create Virtual Devices and Pass-Thru’s. Dual Mix-Minus feeds are implemented in the Host’s DAW with zero dependency on hardware Aux Sends. What differentiates my workflow is the use of virtual routing within the Recording Session on a single machine. This concept is publicly documented using various methods. The workflow frees the participants from recording responsibilities and file management.Īs noted both Scenarios require the use of two individual Skype clients running simultaneously on the Host/Engineer’s system. Scenario B describes an engineering session providing support for independently located remote Skype participants who seek recording and post services. Both participants recorded on discrete tracks utilizing two individual incoming Skype clients running simultaneously on the Host system. Dual Mix Minus feeds are implemented in the Host’s DAW. (Scenario B) Engineer + Skype Session Participant + Skype Session Participant. All participants recorded on discrete tracks in RT utilizing two individual incoming Skype clients running simultaneously on the Host system.

Dual Mix-Minus feeds are implemented in the Host’s DAW. (Scenario A) Typical Podcast consisting of a Host + Skype Guest + Skype Guest.
SOUND SIPHON VS LOOPBACK PRO
The workflow requires independent Mix-Minus feeds configured in a supported DAW such as Pro Tools or Logic Pro. It is possible to record two (or more) independently connected Skype clients on discrete tracks on a single computer in RT. I coded a Cocoa application capable of launching the discrete accounts.

**UPDATE 3: It is now possible to run multiple instances of Skype 8.xx (discrete accounts) on the host system. Once again it is possible to run multiple instances of Skype (discrete accounts) on the host system by executing the terminal command noted in this documentation …
SOUND SIPHON VS LOOPBACK FOR MAC
**UPDATE 2: I solved the incompatability issue noted above by uninstalling Skype 8.xx for Mac and reverting back to Skype ver. Setup and Routing will be consistant with what is described in this documentation. You can use Source-Connect Now as a high quality Skype alternative. ver.8.12.0.14) broke the capability to run multiple instances of Skype (via command line) on a Mac. **UPDATE 1: It appears current versions of Skype (e.g.
