Overview

Remoto Playback audio can be captured directly into Pro Tools or any other DAW/NLE using a virtual audio driver. No additional capture software is required.

By routing Remoto’s audio output to a virtual audio device and selecting that same device as an input in your DAW, you can record or monitor Playback audio in real time.

This approach works with any virtual audio driver (such as BlackHole, Loopback, Soundflower, or similar), as long as the input and output selections match.

Example Configuration (Pro Tools + BlackHole)

The following example uses BlackHole Audio (2ch) as the virtual audio device and Pro Tools as the DAW, but the same concept applies to other tools.

1. Configure Remoto Playback Output

In Remoto Playback:

• Set Audio Output / Speakers to:
  • BlackHole Audio 2ch (or your chosen virtual audio device)

This sends all Playback audio into the virtual driver instead of your physical speakers.

2. Configure Pro Tools Audio Routing

In Pro Tools:

1. Open I/O Setup
2. Confirm that:

• The virtual audio device inputs are available (e.g. BlackHole 1–2)

3. Create an AUX Input or Audio Track
4. Set the track Input to:

• BlackHole Audio 1–2

5. Record-enable (for Audio Tracks) or monitor (for AUX tracks)

Playback audio should now appear on the meter and can be recorded.

Example Signal Path

Remoto Playback Output (Speakers)
→ BlackHole Audio 2ch (Virtual Audio Device)
→ Pro Tools Input (AUX or Audio Track)
→ Timeline / Monitor Path
Using Other DAWs or NLEs

Using Other DAWs or NLEs

This setup is not specific to Pro Tools. The same workflow applies to:

• Logic Pro
• Adobe Premiere Pro
• Final Cut Pro
• Reaper
• Ableton Live
• Media Composer
• Other DAWs or NLEs that support external audio inputs

Key Requirements

• A virtual audio driver installed on the system
• Remoto output set to that virtual device
• DAW/NLE input set to the same virtual device channels

Monitoring Considerations

Because audio is being routed away from your physical speakers:

• You may need:
  • An AUX monitor path
  • An aggregate device
  • Or a virtual device with built-in monitoring options

Some virtual audio tools allow pass-through monitoring so you can hear Playback audio while recording.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you don’t see audio in your DAW:

• Confirm Remoto Playback output matches the virtual audio device
• Verify the DAW input is set to the same device and channel count
• Check sample rate compatibility between Remoto, the virtual device, and the DAW
• Make sure the track is record-enabled or monitoring is active

Summary

• No additional capture software is required
• Any virtual audio driver can be used
• Output from Remoto must match the input selected in your DAW/NLE
• This enables real-time recording or monitoring of Playback audio

This workflow provides a flexible, DAW-agnostic way to integrate Remoto Playback into existing post-production pipelines.
