Ableton live setup question

[cimo]

.. i find myself on the unfinished crusade for the perfect setup...

..i use 2 turntables with 2 phono preamps and Mspinky s timecoded vinyls.I route the two channels in my external soundcard and then into 2 tracks in Ableton.Therefore i take out the 2 tracks again from my soundcard (2 separate channels) and feed them in an analog mixer, from there to the amp.

Now, i can t really figure out how to use return channels, since i don t use the master channel, where should i send the signal of the return channels?

any idea is appreciated

Cimo,

I don't quite get it. Why are the pre amps attached to the output of the mixer?

Connect the amps to the output of the Tables. Attach those to the 2 channels of Ableton. Take 2 channels to the mixer (not set on phono) use the master as an output.

I am not sure exactly how you wish to use your setup. Do you wish to use ableton also for more then only these 2 tracks?

Do you use normal records on the tables as well or only timecode's?

if i've understand, you assign ext-out to the audio channel 1 & 2 for the turntables.

you can use return A & B and assign to them the ext-out too, than you'll have tracks out and retourn out on the same audio cardo outS.
