Ableton Live / Harrion Mixbus routing test...it works.

[am.syn]

Today i had time to check Mixbus and Live routing.
The Audio and Plugin stuff comes out of Live into Mixbus. The Mixbus MasterOut goes straight back into Live as 2trk recording.
Only the Mixbus Mixer and one 3D Delay is in the mix.
The Test track is a simple idea, that i made about 2 years ago.
There are 6 stereo-tracks in the mix.
if you like to hear....feel free to listen.

I've been trying to route Ableton to Mixbus for a number of days, to no avail.
I have Jack set to rum through asio and all that.
When I look to send Ableton's audio into Mixbus, Jack doesn't show up as an option in Ableton's audio preferences.
Care to give a detailed step by step run through in how to get this working?
It would be greatly appreciated!

Cool track BTW! Nice mixing, and Mixbus adds a nice warmth to it :-)

24boettcher - Can you give more details? What OS (Jack setup for Win is different from Mac)? Are you able to start Jack successfully?

[24boettcher]

I'm running Windows 7 64
Bit.
Yes, I'm able to start Jack successfully

I don't use Ableton, but I've been able to successfully route to Mixbus from Cubase and Reaper. There are still some hiccups now and again. I can always get the audio routed, but sometimes I get a poor audio signal (low level or distorted), or both DAW's (Mixbus and whichever of the other two I happen to be using at a given moment) somehow get routed to my audio interface when Jack is showing connection from only one DAW to the interface. It seems like you have to get everything exactly right on the first try, or you have to shut everything down and start over from scratch...Sometimes even a reboot. That being said, I'm very new to both Jack and Mixbus (only got Mixbus a week or so ago), so I'm still in the learning phase.

I found the video and article below to be very helpful:

The video is actually specific to Ableton, so that should be a big help to you.

Here's a link to the Windows portion of the Jack website - http://jackaudio.org/jack_on_windows
You probably already saw this page, but a couple of things I found by trial and error....In the install and config section, I think you can skip steps 4 and 5, as you can set this up from the Jack control panel. Make sure you manually register Jack (towards the bottom of the install/config section) with regsvr32. You'll also need to be running Jack and your DAW's as an administrator...Not just logged on as an administrator, make sure you run the programs as an administrator.

Hope this gets you going.

Cool, can you put both metronomes on, in live and mixbus and tell us how steady they are ?

[am.syn]

At first: I use OS X 10.8.5
It seems the Windows config is different to OS X.
The important thing is to tell Live it must be work as slave.
The problem is Live cant`t MMC, but Live can MTC.
With MTC all works fine and stable, the clicks from HMB and Live a totally in sync.

[Topaz]

can you give us more info please

ie: settings in MB

and settings in live sync settings. FPS, etc.

[am.syn]

Shure
In Live the FPS rate is All.
You must select Adour in ( Sync ) and use MTC.
I have a Delay compensation aprox. -10.5 ms
Then you must use External, to tell Live its a slave.
In HMB are no settings necessary.
Hope it worx for you

-10.5 in live ?

if so both clocks are way way out for me.. (same system 10.8.5)

with a drum loop playing in live being triggered by MB the timing is totally out. :-(
