Is that something doable i Biab? Cheers Stefan DAW: Studio One 6.2 Pro Interfaces: StudioLive AR12c, Scarlett 8i6 Windows 11 Professional AMD Ryzen 9 4900H, 16GB, 3,30 GHz

Can you teach me a lesson on this setup. Pls send me a PM as how we can arrange for a config session - if possible. Thanks for your help!

My frustration tolerance is not high right now - need to make music instead. But your engagement is well received and appreciated. Thanks a lot!!! I will close the thread.
