In this tutorial we will explain how to configure Reaper session to work with ZYLIA Studio PRO software.

Mixing

Audio Device setup

The first step to get ZYLIA Studio PRO plugin to work is audio device configuration.


​Open REAPER Preferences and choose Audio → Device (1). Next, set up your audio system in Audio System section (2).
IMPORTANT: ZYLIA Studio PRO requires 48000 Hz sample rate. You can set it in section 3.
ASIO users can set it in their driver’s control panel
(if not use Request sample rate option).

Routing
The second step is a proper tracks routing.
​Add at least two tracks. First track is “Zylia Studio PRO” with imported ZM-1 19-channel recording.
Click on Routing button, deselect Master send option (1) and set Track channels to 24 (2).
Then click FX button and add ZYLIA Studio PRO plugin.

Now it’s time to deal with a second track - “Z1”. This is the “output” track for ZYLIA virtual microphone.
Click Routing button and Add new receive, choose a track with ZYLIA Studio PRO plugin.

Next, click on menu with types of received signal and set it to Pre-Fader(Post-FX) (2).
Then click on audio input menu (3) and pick Mono source and channel number corresponding to virtual microphone output (in this example it’s Z1).

Similar settings are applicable for more virtual microphones – just add more “output” tracks and set them up as above (remember to choose a proper audio input channel number).

​Recording

It is possible to record directly from a ZM-1 microphone into a Reaper DAW.
Audio Device setup
 
Plug in ZM-1, open REAPER Preferences Audio → Devices (1).

If you are using Windows – choose ASIO as your Audio system and as ASIO driver pick ZYLIA ZM-1 (2). It’s important to enable Request sample rate option and set 48000 Hz.
Number of last enabled input must correspond with “Zylia Studio Pro” track’s number of channels.

MacOS users can pick both ZYLIA ZM-1 or Aggregate Device (more in Appendix) as their Audio System. Main advantage of second solution is possibility to listen to output of ZYLIA virtual microphones and raw 19-channel track (input monitoring).
In Audio MIDI Setup you have to choose 20-channels or more in Format section (4).
​Number of ZYLIA ZM-1 channels must correspond with “Zylia Studio Pro” track’s number of channels.

Routing
Routing for recording is similar to a mixing setup. You should add track for 19-channel recording with plugged ZYLIA Studio PRO and “output” track for each virtual microphone. Remember to set up appropriate number of “Zylia Studio PRO” track’s channels and assign each “output” track’s audio input to corresponding virtual microphone output.
To start recording choose 20 channel input for your “Zylia Studio PRO” track and arm it (1).

You can also record signal from virtual microphones –  choose Record: output (mono) option and set input to None.

Appendix

Input monitoring using Aggregate Device (available only for macOS users).
Monitoring of ZM-1 input is possible by using Aggregate Device. 
To create it:
 • plug in ZM-1,
 • open Audio MIDI Setup
 • click on plus icon and add aggregate device (1). 

Next enable ZM-1 and your output (in this case it’s Built-in Output) in “Use” section(2).
Picture
Then open REAPER Preferences → Audio → Devices and choose Aggregate Device as your audio device (1).
The last thing to do is enable input monitoring of recorded tracks (2).​

ZYLIA Studio PRO Reaper Template
  • ZYLIA_Studio_PRO.rpp file contains blank Reaper session prepared for six sources. We suggest to save this file as Reaper project template – you’ll be able to make multiple projects based on this configuration (File→ Project Templates → Save project as template).
