Hooking up a second set of monitors?

Post by RodneySauer »

I got a second set of powered monitors, so that I can monitor in two rooms. I'm using a MOTU 828 mk II. I plugged the first pair of monitors into the Main 1/2 outs, and they work fine. I plugged the second set into the Analog 1 & 2 outs, and I cannot get them to work. I opened MOTU Audio Setup and changed Default Stereo Output to "Analog 1-2," and the Main monitors turned off but I don't get any sound out of the Analog 1-2 monitors. I also went through CueMix and selected Analog 1-2 as the outputs, and I can see levels on the little level meter, but no sound.

Is there something funky in the software that I'm missing? Ideally, I'd like to set it up so that I can hear the Main Output on both Main 1-2 and Analog 1-2, but for now I'll settle for anything at all... thanks for any help! I'm on Mac OSX 10.6.8,

How embarrassing -- I wasn't looking properly into the dark recesses of my rack, and hooked all my inputs into outputs :oops: I expect it'll work now.
