Hi, short story… I used to run the UR824 as a pure pre-amp/monitor device, but with my new computer I’m using it as a full ASIO device…
This is causing some issues I can’t get my head around…
So when you have the UR824 set up as ASIO for Nuendo, Nuendo takes control over the hardware, so the dspmixer is put to idle. Problem is, there’s no function in Nuendo to setup up what’s called “MIX 1-4” on the UR824. And this is where the headphone outputs get their signals from.
So how on earth do you make a separate headphone mix? Example, I have my talkback mic connected to analogue input 8, this is routed to the headphone mix only, as I don’t need that signal into Nuendo.
But as soon as Nuendo is active, this routing is unavailable.
Any solutions here or am I misunderstanding completely ?
you use control room instead, and enable a talkback mic there (F4, control room window). You also enable one or 2 cues, and assign hardware outputs to them. You lower your asio buffer size to get rid of some of the delay with the talkback, and then you just use the talkback button in CR panel. You can even set a cue dimmer for when the talkback mic is open. You can then assign a key command to the talkback button or whatever switch in a hardware controller…
Hi, thanks, yeah I’ll have a go at this, but that’s kind of what you would do regardless of hardware, just seems so backwards losing functionality when you hook Steinberg hardware to Steinberg software…
Hi, I managed to get this working and was initially happy with it, but in actual operation it’s too complicating for such a simple task…
Just as an example, Nuendo doesn’t remember the settings for the CR mixer so everytime I open a project I have to select source for the “phones” mix insted of just leaving at at “cue1”. Just annoying.
But the biggest problem is there’s no proper WDM driver so I have to install a second sound card anyway if I want to route my Windows sound anywhere specific, like my speakers… or to a Zoom session.
