Drambo into AUM: multi out vs splitting the project manually?
I have created a nice 6 track loop in a standard Drambo project, and I now want to feed each separate track into a separate channel in AUM.
whats the easiest / quickest way? Can I ‘convert’ a Drambo project into a multi-out project? Do I even need multi out? (I can simply load a saved project into each channel and delete unwanted tracks, leaving one track per channel)
thanks

You can load a multi out instance, open the project, then route each track to the appropriate multi-out destination (tap on the Track header on the main track view).
But what if it’s not already a multi out Drambo project? (I made it in a standard non-multi our project)
Sorry man you’ve lost me. What am i doing in what app?
so far I’ve tried to load a Drambo project and change tracks to EXT1, 3 etc, but it won’t let me.
Ok I’ve cracked it. It’s slightly more complicated than I thought.
you DONT need a multi out project in Drambo. It can be any project.
whats clever is that Drambo seems to detect that you’ve created multi out instances of itself, and allows you to choose Multi out in track settings. My mistake was to try and do this before I’d loaded multi out instances in AUM.
VERY COOL.
Ha - it is if you don't know how!
What was misleading me was that in Drambo was a Multi-Out template. So I just assumed Drambo needed to run a MultiOut project for this to work. But it doesn't at all.
That’s news to me too, re: running multiout from a ‘regular’ Drambo instance.
i will get around to making a video on this, most likely. I havent delved that far into multiout yet.
Yes but it will only work if you set up a host properly, and then go back into Drambo once loaded in the host, and reassign each track.
I think you've mixed things up a bit, because you don't mention Drambo (8 outs) in your description. The steps would be:
This is the process @TheInvisibleMan described.
Edit: I looked back and saw this is exactly how @number37 replied to your previous question. You can create a project in stand-alone Drambo and load it (using Drambo's hamburger menu) to Drambo inside AUM. The project file doesn't know whether it's for stand-alone or AU Drambo. Maybe that caused your confusion.
Nah, it is super easy in fact I love it that Drambo standalone is basically the same as AUV3 and AUV3 is the same as AUV3 multitrack. At least to the user.
I’ve just opened a non multiout project in multiout Drambo instance in AUM then simply routed tracks to ext outs 1-8. Then you create another track in aum and route whichever track you want into its input.
If I say it’s easy it’s gotta be! I end up scratching my head for hours with most of @bcrichards patches before finally giving up 😂
@supadom nooooooo :O
Much appreciated and reciprocated.
I humbly accept my limitations but some things just go over my head and my brain just refuses to engage after a while. That’s why I generally go for simpler things that have an immediate musical sense.
You won’t believe how happy it made me 10 minutes ago to wire up all tracks’ chance modules to a single knob module on a main track = instant busy/not busy effect. Massive sense of achievement!!
Although I wish @giku made those knobs on the humaniser modulatable too!!,
@supadom all in jest :) I’m a rambler for sure and there’s got to be an easier way to explain some of the patches.
if you can really just take an old project and set it to external out from the track menu that’s great.
Your first step is wrong. You don't need to load an '8-outs' project at all. It can be any kind of project. You go back and re-route tracks to multi-outs after you've loaded the project into a multi-out host.
It's brilliant.
You can.
Step 4 isn't possible UNTIL you're inside a multi-out host environment.
The thing that I like the most about your tutorials is your rambling!! :)
I’m getting a bit lost here now between the two or three related threads here and the other one on the Audiobus forum. Is second part of your comment in answer to my comment in this thread? Can’t keep up!! 😬

Yes, the cross-forum posting and multiple threads on the same/similar topics are getting out of hand... I gave up! 😀
My bad guys. Sorry. Get a little post-heavy sometimes.
