HAPPY NEW YEAR, NEW GEAR, NEW QUESTIONS

Post by davang55 »

Happy New Year, new gear, new probs!

OKAY so I got a used MOTU ultra lite mk3 and installed CueMix FX (my previous interface was a presonus 1810). Besides cuemix signal routing being very confusing to decipher, the Computer audio is being sent to Analog outs 1/2 (which are not controlled by the master level control). I have been through all the setup screens on the mac (hardware setup, MOTU audio setup, the system prefs sound app) and have assigned it to "LR MAIN" but I only get audio from the MAIN when I run DP with cue mix OFF. Then the front panel MASTER controls the volume, with cuemix on it is very frustrating ( and VERY LOUD).

I'm sure I'm missing something!

I found a workaround:
since the computer audio is going analog out 1 and 2 I assigned that to the "MAIN OUT ASSIG' in MOTU Audio Setup BUT you must click the "MONITOR" button in CueMIX for that output channel or you get the FULL output level and the level control on the Ultralite is disabled for some reason. This was all MUCH easier on my Presonus 1810!

NOPE have to reassign the MASTER Fader to OUTS 1 an 2 not going to work. Going back to the Presonus.
