Hey guys, ok so i just bought my ultralite mk3 and have the latest drivers installed(windows7).. however.. i can only play 2 outputs at a time which defeats the purpose of me upgrading my audio interface..
I'm sorry i am sure its something simple but i just can't find the answer..
My main studio monitors are connected to the main outputs.
I have my sub connected to analog 1-2
Now when i right click on the sound icon on the bottom right of my screen and i go to playback settings, im given 7 options, MOTU Main Out 1-2
MOTU Analog 1-2, MOTU Analog 3-4 etc etc.. so my monitors are connected to MOTU Main Out 1-2 and my sub is MOTU Analog 1-2..
The problem is i can only set 1 as default meaning i can only hear either the monitors or sub depending on which i set to default..
So my question is, how do i fix this irritating problem and playback all my outputs simultaneously.
Thanks

Re: Ultralite mk3 multiple output playback simultaneously
There are many ways of achieving your objective.
Do you have CueMix installed? Have you found the MOTU Audio Console?
If so a simple method, which I thought was the install default but it's been a while, is to proceed as follows.
In the audio console for Main Out Assign select Analog 1-2 from the drop down list.
In your application direct main output to MOTU Analog 1-2.
Job done!
There is a slightly irritating limitation on the Ultralite. The USB output from your digital device can only be sent direct to a single output pair. There are various ways around this but for now you might want to use a spare cable to loop the S/PDIF output back into the S/PDIF input. Then you can use a CueMix mixer to send audio to as many outputs pairs as you wish.
Spend a few hours just messing about. You will soon get the hang of it. Have fun.

Re: Ultralite mk3 multiple output playback simultaneously
As RD above says, there are numerous ways to go about it.
Another way is to copy your mix bus one (ctrl + c, while on it) to mix bus two (ctrl + v, while on this.)
Then set the output for two to your sub.
I made a very detailed post about this within the last month or so in case you want to search it.

Re: Ultralite mk3 multiple output playback simultaneously
Mmmm setting up 5.1 in cubase seems impossible now that all the outs need to be assigned to spdif... Now iv'e never used a mac before but are they able to run multiple sound outputs at once? Rather than pc where i can only set one as default...
