I'm having a problem with external hardware and this may be long because I want to go ahead and tell everything I've tried so far. I have Studio One 4.5 Professional and a Presonus 1824c Interface with Windows 10. For the longest time I was getting a feedback loop when I tried to use an external piece of gear. I'd taken a break from the problem only mixing in the box until today I got back at trying to solve the issue.
Today I figured out the Feedback Loop problem lies within Universal Control with the DAW faders. I learned I could disable the mixer in Universal Control and everything then would be controlled in Studio One as turning down the faders you lose the signal you're trying to send out. I tried once again setting up an instance of pipeline on the track I need external hardware on, routing my track to output 8 on the interface, to IN on rack gear, the OUT of the rack gear I sent to input 1 on the interface and assigned it to new track. Now when I play there's no feedback loop but also no sound when Pipeline is active. When pipeline is disabled I have sound. I tracked that to Output 8 (Note I also tried other outputs as well) as when I unplug the "OUT" cord from the interface and touch it I get static and can see the return meter rise in pipeline.
So now that the Mixer of Universal Control is inactive the outputs aren't working. So I got to thinking I may need to turn on the Cue mix for the outputs. I then realized you can only do that to Stereo channels (all of my outputs are set up as mono). So I tried setting it up as a stereo channel, also without any luck as well. I'm completely lost. what do I need to do to get pipeline and external hardware working? How does Universal Control need to be setup to stop the feedback loop?
