Hi all,
Just got the 828mkIII and it works great with both my pc and mac, no real problems yet. It also sounds quite a lot better than my old 828.
I wan't to setup a mix for each individual when recording my band using
828 mkIII and presonus digimax fs. But I'm a bit lost.
1) is there a way to copy mixes between different outputs so you can setup a mix on one channel and then use that on the others? Or how do you solve this? You know a balanced mix with the possibility of "more me" in my mix? I would prefer not to have to buy a presonus HP60 to get individual mixes if possible.
2) can one use compression and eq on a single channel without recording it?

There are probably many ways to solve these problems, but here is my take on them...
1) You can easily copy 1 entire mix to another using copy & paste. Select you source mix and copy to clipboard. Then select you destination mix and paste. Then assign each mix to a different output pair.
2) You can use the ADAT loopback trick. Record the analog input channels without any processing and send these unprocessed inputs to ADAT outputs. You have to use mix(es) to do this and it is one of the drawback of this approach. Using an optical cable, loopback the ADAT output to input where you can apply your processing before sending these to each player mixes. If your inputs are mono, you can send up to 2 signals per mix by hard panning them left / right.
Say you have 5 player mixes, that leaves you 3 mixes for loopback for up to 6 mono signals.
