headphone & control room mixes

Post by beaudette »

I'm using dp3 with motu828, and a samson headphone amp. How can I get two separate mixes? -one for the singer in the booth, and one for the control room?

Creative routing!

1. Add new Aux channel
2. Set the Aux channel input to buss 1-2 (or whichever you choose)
3. Set the Aux channel output to analog 3-4
4. Use the channel sends on the mixer to buss 1-2 (or whatever matches the input on the Aux buss you created)
5. Make sure the channel sends are pre-fader so you can tweak your sound without changing the aux mix to the samson
6. Connect the motu outputs analog 3-4 to your Samson's input
7. Now use the channel send knobs to create the mix for the samson.
8. If you need; you can add processing to the Aux buss for the samson...maybe some limiting.
