Hello,
Ultralite mk3 hybrid, windows 8.1 user here. Was wondering if it's possible for example to route my audio channels of ableton live to 4 different interface outputs apply different effects on cuemix and route everything to be summed on 1/2 main output? If yes, can someone explain a bit how to do it in cuemix?
Is it possible to use Cuemix effects internally?

It is a bit of a kludge but the simple answer is Yes.
On the Ultralite you will need to re route the various outputs back into the unit again as inputs. Then mix them down to two tracks. S/PDIF is ideal for this but going round a DAC/ADC loop doesn't have an audible effect either.

Does the ultralite not have the Return Assign option? This is from the 828-3 manual section on MOTU Audio Setup:RonaldDumsfeld wrote:It is a bit of a kludge but the simple answer is Yes.

"The 828mk3 driver provides a stereo return back to the computer.This return feeds the signal on any 828mk3 output pair directly back to the computer, where you can record, process,monitor or otherwise use it.This is a great way to “bounce” full mixes, complete with live audio routed through the 828mk3 only, back into the computer."

Yes but the return is an input.
So in order to get it back out again to his Mains 1-2 he would have to record it and pass it out as a monitor mix. Which would be fine, except he wants to do this with 4 channels rather than just 1 or 2 and the return only applies to one output at a time.
This is my understanding anyway. I could be missing a trick. So if anyone knows different (on an Ultralite) please pipe up.

The return pair can be set to capture any single analog output pair. So you could try outputting to, say analog 7-8, apply the Cuemix effects, and bring the processed audio back into DP from the Return pair, and monitor that from Main Outs? Haven't tried it, and have no idea if that would apply to the Ultralite
