On my Apple M1 Mini, when I run Ableton and choose my Saffire 18i20 as the output, I can have the metronome on output 3-4 for just my own monitoring while the main output 1-2 does not broadcast the metronome to the listener, ideal for an acoustic song where I need precise timing but do not want any percussion.
However, to live stream using OBS I route my audio via BlackHole. I create a multi-output device in the Apple Audio-Midi Setup which has both BlackHole 16ch and Saffire18i20 as outputs and set this multi-output device as the output of Ableton, with OBS taking audio straight from BlackHole 16ch. But then I only have outputs 1-2 available on Ableton and there is no output 3-4 available to monitor the metronome without the listener hearing it. Perhaps this is because the Multi-Output Device that Apple automatically creates is 0in 2out, despite BlackHole apparently being 16ch.
Is there a way I can monitor my metronome on a separate output while live-streaming via OBS, perhaps with BlackHole or maybe an alternative, that will of course work with my M1 chip? I have searched the internet for an answer but to no avail.
Many thanks.
