Record Streaming Apple Music into Pro Tools using UA Apollo

[Indeloon85]

Hi All,
I'm trying to create a go-to session for reference mixes that I can record music from Apple Music/Spotify into Pro Tools using Matt Hepworth's approach here:

Last night, I followed these steps and with ease, signal went right into PT and I was able to print a reference mix. Woohoo!

Today though, I am following the steps again and again and for whatever reason, cannot get Apple Music to pipe the material into Pro Tools. Funny enough, Spotify works like a charm and will send the material straight into PT, it's just Apple Music and even Wav files in Finder that are stuck on just playing out to my monitors, even though I have my system audio saying to go thru Virtual 1-2 (which is where Spotify is sending material).

I'm using PT 2023.12 on MacOS 13.6.3. Anyone else had this issue? Kind of annoying since I had it working like a charm last night.

Thank you!

This is even simpler without it being Apollo specific. In the latest PT you can make Aux I/O Bridge inputs, so basically you would set you computer’s output source to PT Bridge A 1-2 or something like that, and then make a new track within PT and set the input of that track to PT Bridge A 1-2 or whatever and just record it in

I think you need to turn on Aux I/O from the Playback Engine settings

This definitely made it straight forward. Thank you!
