Focusrite Saffire routing question (Spoitfy)

[devontodetroit]

Hi,

I've got a Focusrite Saffire 10, I've also got an Akai MPC2000XL.

My problem is my general windows output goes out of output 1/2 of the Saffire.. But I want to choose to route the program (Spotify) out of a specific output of the card and thus into the MPC to sample some bits and bobs.

How do I go about this?

I'm running Windows 7 and when you goto the windows mixer it doesn't seem like you can change the routing of different programs running etc.

Any help would be great,

(Wish I had a hardware mixer!)

Is it a setting in Spotify? I haven't used it before but I know some apps have a independant setting in the preferences.

[devontodetroit]

No, unfortuantly theres no settings as to which output the software uses, it just uses the generic windows output :/

But you can change the generic windows output?

[devontodetroit]

Yeh I suppose, But then i'll have to do it every time I do it.. It'll be become a chore pretty damn quickly

haha, I know the feeling!

Is there not some sort of routing options on your soundcard? To create aux sends for headphone mixes etc...

[devontodetroit]

nope, no such luck!

it wont be long until i can afford a nice 16:4:2 mixer of some type then all this rubbish will be a thing of the past

why would you sample from spotify? why not just download a high quality wav? put them on an ipod and then plug the ipod into the mpc somehow?

but as far as the way you're asking, i don't think it's possible to route the audio of specific program to certain outs unless your soundcard's drivers/software have that capability. i have a steinberg ur28m which comes with an app called dspMixFX which allows you to route different mixes to different outputs. maybe your soundcard has something similar?
