Loopback Recording (Windows only)
3.1.2
The Windows drivers for the ioStation 24c provides two virtual streams
that allow you to record the output of one audio application in another
application. Loopback can be useful in a variety of situations:
• Recording the audio from a video game or YouTube
video for a podcast or livestream.
•
Recording a vocal in real time over a karaoke track
played from a web browser or media player.
Power User Tip: Because the ioStation 24c is a class compliant Core Audio device, these
virtual streams are not available in macOS. However, there are several third-party
applications that provide this functionality in macOS.
From Universal Control, you can enable or disable Loopback and pick
the streams on which the loopback audio will be recorded.
When Loopback is enabled and "Merge Loopback with 1/2" is selected,
the audio from another application will be recorded with the audio
source connected to analog inputs 1 and 2 on your ioStation 24c.
Media Player
Web Browser
Etc.
When Loopback is enabled and "Dedicated Loopback Inputs" is selected, the audio
from another application will be recorded on the last pair of driver inputs (3/4).
Media Player
Web Browser
Etc.
Power User Tip: When using either option, you will need to select Outputs 1 and 2 in the
audio application you want to record. Make sure to select Outputs 3 and 4 in the audio
application in which you're recording to avoid a feedback loop.
