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!)
Luke.

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

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?

haha, I know the feeling!
Is there not some sort of routing options on your soundcard? To create aux sends for headphone mixes etc...

Re: Focusrite Saffire routing question (Spoitfy)
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?
