Called an Aggregate Device, this method is a useful way to record multi-layered tracks, to try out sounds in a multi-track context or to demo ideas with different instruments simultaneously. Apple have enabled the ability to create one monster device that can incorporate all of your separate interfaces. However, what if you have another interface that you’re using for your mic input and have it connected to your monitors? Or what if you have multiple AIRA or Roland Boutique pieces of gear you want to use?
Often when using Roland AIRA gear in the studio, the best way to incorporate it into your setup is to use the built-in audio and MIDI interface.
