Hello and Happy Holidays!
I would greatly appreciate help troubleshooting what I'm doing wrong in Universal Control (UC) and S1 and to better understand how to fix. I've reached a point where I am totally at a loss for what to do on the 2 issues described below.
I have included screen shots that I hope are helpful in figuring out what's going on, that include information applicable to both problems.
I imagine these problems are user error as I'm pretty new to using anything outboard -- I just can't figure out what exactly I'm doing wrong.
Problem 1: Hardware Compressor Routing:
II have a hardware compressor (KT76) I am trying to use with UC enabled. When UC is enabled, I can’t get the KT76 to behave properly as a mono Pipeline XT insert, but everything works as expected when UC is off and I route entirely inside Studio One. I can use the KT76 w/ pipeline xt (mono) no problem. (Input 3, Output 9). How can I get it to work with UC enabled?

Problem #2: LoopBack Test - Record Offset:
I wasn’t able to complete a basic loopback test to determine record offset on my Quantum HD8. I followed this Presonus Tutorial -S1 LoopBack/Record Offset Test step-by-step (including using the provided test file in the youtube video description, as well as an attempt with a new/blank project), but after assigning the I/O I couldn’t get the input track to record the signal from the designated output…even after trying multiple ins/outs and swapping cables. (Input 4/Output 10 -- highlighted red in the I/O screenshots and labelled "LoopTest In" and "LoopTest Out" respectively. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or how I may have set this up incorrectly.
I ultimately used a mono Pipeline XT insert to try and derive the offset. Doing so confirmed the cable I was using works and no issues with either I/O. Pipeline XT measured an average of 7 samples after a couple times pressing (auto). But.... then realized this measures round trip latency (RTL)....and I think S1 record offset should only the record side...so I don't know if this is accurate. So I don't understand that piece, and I don't understand why the loopback test Gregor outlined in the video didn't work. Using the provided project file from the youtube video, all I did was change the i/o (only on input 4 and output 10)...I left everything else the same, and it still didn't work.
My projects are set to sample rate 48khz and block size 128…but I bump up the block size quite a bit sometimes when working with resource intensive plugins/virtual orchestra/large template.
I currently have audio record offset to 7 samples, and midi record offset to 7ms. I'm not sure how I can properly check this or if there are suggested settings based on my system specs in my signature. Of course, I'd like for the test to work!
I'm happy to provide any information that might be helpful.
I appreciate anyone who took the time to read this -- and I hope I explained the problems clearly. I'm grateful and appreciative of any help/insight troubleshooting these problems -- they've been driving me crazy these past few days.
Thank you!
