Dear Curt,

Thank you for your message. Please try the following.

1. Start over

2. Create an input mix of audio to send to FarPlay

In the hardware outputs row (bottom row), click to highlight Analog 5/6. Click to enable Loopback for Analog 5/6.
In the hardware inputs row (top row), drag all faders all the way down (-∞). If you’re using microphones on analog inputs 1 and 2, raise their fader.
In the software playback row (middle row), drag all faders all the way down (-∞). Raise only the faders for Analog 1/2 (which will be available for YouTube, etc.) and Analog 3/4 (which will receive audio from Gig Performer).

3. Send FarPlay audio to headphones

In the hardware outputs row (bottom row), click to highlight Phones.
In the hardware inputs row (top row), drag all faders all the way down (-∞).
In the software playback row (middle row), drag all faders all the way down (-∞). Raise only the fader for Analog 5/6 (which will receive audio from FarPlay).

4. Select channels in FarPlay

Open FarPlay. Go to Preferences > General Options. For both the Microphone and Headphones, choose Fireface UCX II, Stereo, and channels 5-6.

5. Send audio from other apps to your Fireface UCX II

In Gig Performer, click Options > Audio Setup…. Set the Output Device to Fireface UCX II (…). Checkmark only Out 3 and Out 4. Leave the other output channels unchecked. Click Apply Settings.
If you like, send YouTube, etc. audio to the input mix for FarPlay by clicking the control center near the top-right corner of the screen. Click Sound. Set the Output to Fireface UCX II. You no longer need to use Rogue Amoeba Loopback for this.

6. Test audio in FarPlay

Check that the monitor slider in the You (…) subpanel of FarPlay controls the volume in your headphones of sounds you make/play.

I’m excited for you 🙂
