Can I daisy chain a Track 16 to 828mk3 Hybrid?

Post by Graza »

Hey,
I need more I/O's and was wondering if I can I daisy chain my Track 16 to a 828mk3 Hybrid using the Firewire?
Ideally, I'd like to have the Track 16 sit on the desk controlling the monitors and headphones and have the 828mk3 Hybrid in the rack connected to the outboard gear & mics?
Is there a connection/setup procedure for mk3's?
Is there a Master/Slave relationship?
How does Cuemix work in a PC with multiple devices, are you able to aggregate like a MAC or is there a separate Cuemix for each device?
Any other issues?
Cheers
Graham

Here is the Tech Support answer,
'These devices will behave as two independent interfaces when daisy chained in this configuration. Windows does not have a utility for aggregating multiple devices. You will have two CueMix windows for these devices and routing audio to them will be done in your DAW.'
