Motu 828 MKIII FW windows sound to several outputs

Post by halomat »

Hi Forum,
does anyone knows how to route the windows sound (for example from youtube) to several outputs? At the moment i hear music from browser or itunes over Main Outs.
But i want to have a second pair of active speakers playing over any Analog-Out.
BTW: I can't use SPDIF, because i need it for other purpose.
So how can i route the windows sound (Main-outs) with CueMix to Analog 3-4?
Thank you so much
Hal

Just found a hint that i can use any Digital In and Out. So i can loop a ADAT In Out and now i'm able to route anything elsewhere.
Thank you anyway for reading my post...

I'm not sure but I don't think you can do that. But if I wanted to do such a thing I would get a small mixer plug the main ins to a couple channels and use the aux outs of the mixer to send to another pair of speakers. Something like a Mackie 1204 etc.

That is exactly what I do. I loop both ADAT ports back to themselves with two cheap fiber optic cables - creates a ton of route-able ports for Cuemix!
