At my wits end!

Post by andyd »

Hello All,

I am praying that someone can help me with this...

I recenty bought a Moto Ultralite mk3 and I am trying to set up a multi-monitor set up. I have two studio monitors plugged into my main-outs. I have also plugged in another monitor into Analog 1 output so I can get a reference from that when mixing.

Only problem is that I am getting no sound out of it (and it definitely works).

I have clicked on 'monitor' on the output channel for 'Analog 1-2'. The monitor group metering output meter isn't showing any meter reading for Analog 1-2 though (it is just showing the meter reading for 'Main Out 1-2' only that is now on the left hand-side - because I have assigned Analog 1-2 as a monitor too, so it has allowed space for that monitor reading but there is nothing). This is telling me that there is no signal going to Analog 1-2 even though I have assigned it as a monitor. I have tried the same with all outputs but the same result for all.

Other things I have tried are changing the 'Monitor Group' settings but it is still the same result.

The Moto Audio Setup settings I have are:

Sample Rate: 48000
Clock Source: Manual
Default Stereo Input: Analog 1-2
Default Stereo Output: Main Out 1-2
Phones Assign: Main Out 1-2
Main Out Assign: Main Out 1-2
Return Assign: Analog 3-4 (this was originally 1-2 but I changed it to Analog 3-4 as I am plugging a monitor into 1-2 so thought this might make a difference but still nothing).

I am at my wits end... please help?

You can't use multiple outs without routing back in ( i.e. adat ) and use another mix bus to go out

Take care

I'd get me a Mackie Big Knob or Presonus Monitor Station and switch monitors (and set levels, check mono compatibility, send cue mixes to headphones, etc) from there.
