For SuperDirt I use the multi-channel approach as @qaciwq links to above, for my SC startup. I target the Blackhole audio device on MacOS and then my DAW can listen to the Blackhole inputs from a MacOS Aggregate Device. So basically I do DAW multitracking on d1, d2, d3, etc.
There's another thread somewhere about what these startup.scd configs should be to get mono outputs per orbit, stereo per orbit with multiple outs, etc.
These supercollider outputs have to be configured during startup to get individual mono/stereo outputs per d1... outputs.
I would like to add for everyone else specially on Windows there's also the option to set many Recorders on SuperCollider, generating many stem-like files:
amazing! is the very first time I an recor with orbits without jumble, it happened to me that the channels are always confused and strange behaviors were mixed, thank you very much!
In Windows and maybe and Linux (I haven't tried yet). I've found out an easy way to record in Ableton Live with Jack. I think that will probably work for Linux too.
It also works if you want to use a soundcard.
If you have a soundcard go to setup and change to your soundcard. If not, probably the default config will work.
Verify the server is running without any errors.
You will need to modify the config file of Jack to allow the server to create several channels, the default is 4. Follow this link to the Jack docs if you want to know how to do this.(The docs page is for windows users).
Open SuperCollider, open your startup file and then modify the device out to select explicitly JackRouter. If you want to send a multichannel track please follow this link to setup as you please. This is my personal setup:
The default connection will try to output SuperCollider to the system but you need to connect SuperCollider to Ableton. Open the Graph and disconnect scsynth of the system connection that in this case is your soundcard or the output of your computer. Scsynth will be routed to Ableton and then Ableton will be routed to the soundcard.
Open Ableton live. Go to preferences and then modify the audio device to Jack Router. If it doesn't appear verify you selected the driver type to ASIO. It should appear another entry in the Graph. Connect Ableton and scsynth as you please. Here is my setup:
Finally. Start tidal, and look if you can hear through Ableton. Test every channel and then youβre ready to record the audio from Tidal in a GUI multitrack environment.
