And you can pair this with Element [1] to do nice routings. For example, in my live sets I send 8 separate audio channels from Ableton Live via a miniDSP optical interface [2] to my music partner's audio interface who does fx and live mixing. When I'm working on the sets without him I don't have the midiDSP audio device plugged in and Ableton get's annoying. So I set up a routing in Element from BlackHole 8 track... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago
