Hybrid Live Set (line-in)

Questions
1

I want to use Algoriddim djay Pro for a hybrid live set on my MacBook Pro.

My goal is to play regular tracks on channels 1 and 2 inside djay Pro, while connecting an iPad running a synthesizer app into a four-channel DJ controller/mixer via Line In, and assigning that external audio signal to channel 3 or 4.

I would like to control this Line In channel from the DJ controller, including volume, EQ, filter, and ideally djay Pro’s internal effects, just like a normal deck.

How can I set up and use a Line In channel inside Algoriddim djay Pro for this purpose?

the better way in my view, to approach your hybrid setup… Djay + Ipad(synth app)

is using virtual audio channels such as Blackhole64, and then creating a aggregate device, with Blackhole64 as the first aggregate device & your audio Interface or mixer connected as the 2nd aggregate(65+66)

which are then fed into a DAW

ipad(Idam) –>(ipad audio output defaults to) blackhole 1+2 –> DAW(input 1+2) –>(FXplugins)–> Physical hardware output 65+66 (Main out)

Djay pro(4Decks) –> external output Blackhole channels 3+4 / 5+6 / 7+8 / 9+ 10 –> DAW(input 3+4 / 5+6 / 7+8 / 9+10 ) –>(FXplugins)–>physical hardware output 65+66 (Main out)

this will allow for x4 Djay decks, operating on 4 separate virtual channel pairs & the advantage of VST3plugins(FXplugins) to be added in the chain

ipad will operate on a separate virtual channel pair blackhole 1+2… this is becos when connecting your ipad directly to a mac & then enabling the Ipad to pass audio&midi… the Ipad will always default to channel 1+2 for the most part…

but that is how i would go about setting up things…

one of the benefits of using the idam connection, is you can use a midi controller that is connected to a mac, to control your Ipad
