8PRE and ADA8000

Post by Pixie »

I recently started recording bands and I would like to be able to give every bandmember his own headphone mix. This means that the 2 stereo outputs I have on my 8PRE won't suffice.
I spend a lot of money on my gear lately, so I don't have much money to spend anymore, so I was thinking of buying a cheap Behringer Ultragain Pro ADA8000 (it is afterall just for headphone mixes).
Would it be possible to connect this to my 8PRE via ADAT and if yes, will the extra 8 in- and outputs appear in the Cuemix console?

Yes.
However, you are still limited to the 4 stereo mix busses that CueMix offers.
Depending on how many different monitor mixes you need, you may have to set them up in your host.

Thanks for the reply, crankz1.

Wouldn't be a problem. I'm eager to try out the new Control Room Section of Cubase 4 :) .
