Logic's I/O Plugin & SFP's External effect demystified

[scary808]

Here's one if you want to use CW plugins to mix in Logic or Logic plugins to mix in SFP.


In Logic's helpers plugin section there is a plugin called I/O. What the heck is that you say! It's a software I/O. For example. Say you wanted to use the CW compressor as an insert in Logic. In the SFP routing window connect the compressor to say ASIO out 5&6 then to ASIO out 5&6. After loading the Logic I/O plugin set its out to ASIO 5&6 & it's in to ASIO 5&6. You now would be using the CW compressor as an insert as if it were a Logic plugin.


Another cool thing is SFP has something that works the same except it would enable you to use a Logic plugin as an insert on a CW mixer. It's called External Effect. This goes a step further & allows you to either use a software I/O(ASIO)or your CW cards hardware I/Os(digital or analog)as an insert. You could use that sexy Logic Tape Delay or even an external reverb unit inserted on an aux return or wherever. How cool is that!

yep, that's sweet.
please note though that if you want to solo a track with I/O inserted you have to do it in the ARRANGE window. the mixer's solo will be dead quiet.

I can't get this to work using Logic Plugins in sfp.

However using sfp plugins in logic works fine.

Is it possible to get a screenshot or a detailed explanation of how to route the logic effect to the sfp mixer via the external effect module
