Guys,
1st off, I love this forum, great community here!
I have only been a SAC user for a month, but dig it so far.
Quick Background:
I am Production Director for a large multi-campus church. I purchased SAC to hopefully set up a more realistic training space for our audio volunteers to work on their skills outside of the auditoriums. I manage 6 different worship environments, all with digital consoles (AVID SC48, Yamaha M7, Presonus 24.4.2 & Behringer X32)
I choose SAC for its cost and routing capabilities, it rivals or surpasses the above mixers. We use some Waves plugins, which I have been able to work around with a vst wrapper.
The plan is to capture or weekend service multi-channel audio, load into SAW and play back in SAC and re-mix the weekend in a controlled environment, train people, evaluate, etc...sounds simple enough.
I have SAC set up with the routing the way I want it, FX Auxes, Sub Groups, Latched channels etc. I launch SAW (demo for now) enable SAC link, hit play. Nothing, no audio passes through. I then, in SAW, select "export mix data to SAC" and boom, I am hearing audio in SAC.
My issue is that "export mix data to SAC" over rides my setup in SAC. In fact, I can't even get to the returns or outputs by pressing the R or O buttons.
My layout is stored with an F-key, but nothing changes when pressed. Ironically, the monitor consoles show my layout correctly.
What am I missing here?
My desire is to simply playback audio from SAW into SAC. I need SAC to look and feel like I am using it in a show with the routing and groups the way I have them set up.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Jeff Abbott
