Studio Series: Overview of Loopback recording on Windows in Studio One.

Published April 20, 2022

The Windows drivers for the Studio Series interfaces provides two virtual streams that allow you to record the output of one audio application in another application.

 

Please note: Please ensure that you have downloaded, installed and are using the latest version of Universal Control application. This application contains the drivers for your Studio series interface. Please also ensure that the firmware is up to date on your Studio Series interface.

 

Please see list of compatible Studio Series loopback devices:

 

Studio 2|4
Studio 2|6
Studio 6|8
Studio 18|10
Studio 18|24
Studio 2|4c
Studio 2|6c
Studio 6|8c
Studio 18|10c
Studio 18|24c

 

 

Loopback can be useful in a variety of situations:

  • Recording the audio from Skype, 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.

From Universal Control, you can enable or disable Loopback and pick the streams on which the loopback audio will be recorded. Below we will provide an example of Loopback on the Studio 24c and the 1824c and how it routes into Studio One.

 

Studio 24c Loopback

Mix 1/2

1. When Loopback is enabled and “Mix 1/2” is selected in Universal Control, the audio from another application will be recorded with the audio source connected to analog inputs 1 and 2 on your Studio 24c. See below screenshots of Universal Control, Skype and Studio One Audio I/O Setup.

2. Now that Mix 1/2 is enabled Main Out 1/2 (Studio 24c) that you have set as your output in your application will come in on Input 1 & 2 in Studio One. In this case we have used Skype output as an example.
