Individual monitor mixes?

gener · Post by **gener** » Fri Jan 27, 2006 3:56 pm

hi all, is there a way to give each musician a different monitor mix with teh setup i have? was just trying to figure out possibilities (gets annoying when everyone give me conflicting requests for levels). i don't have those individual furman headphone mix boxes yet, and would be great to devise a way with my setup.

DP 4.61
828 mkii
cuemix console
small mackie mixer

thanks!

Aux sends to analog outs.

What he said. Cuemix is your friend. You can configure each pair of outputs to send out specified incoming channels if people are recording together. To send out recorded tracks for overdubbing, use aux sends on your channels wired to the same output pairs.

Yep, use CueMix to make a direct hardware monitor mix for each player, then set up DP so it routes what's playing back to each player.

To set up DP to do that, see this technote from MOTU's website:

How do I hear the output of my DAW on more than one bus in CueMix?

If you want to get fancy and give each player a different mix of what's playing back from DP, you'll need to get a little more involved and use some sends/aux tracks.
