Possible to mirror main outs on 828 mk3

Post by adammazza »

I would like to take the output being sent to the main outs and also send it to an analog pair of outs. I know I could use CueMixFX and create another mix which would route the analog ports to the output bus, but that won't output sound from my DAW to that output bus.

I was wondering if there is some other way, or do I need to figure out how to route to 2 output buses in my DAW (Cubase 4.1 Studio)

Thanks

Assume you have your Cubase Main Out on the main mix?
Easiest way is then to setup a secound output in connections window and setup a new group fader in the cubase mixer, assign everytihng to the group fader first (assigned not alalog 1-2 for example) and then assign the whole subgroup to the main mix > voilla 2 otput pairs with the same content

Other output pairs can not mirror the 828mk3 main outs, but the main outs can mirror any other output pair. For instance, set the audio track outputs in Cubase to analog out 7-8. Then in MOTU Audio Console, set Main Out Assign to Analog 7-8. Now anything in Cubase that is routed to analog out 7-8 is mirrored on the main outs.

Thank you for the suggestions. I'll try them both and see what works best for me.
