828mkII & Live --Help needed!

Post by six_wax » Sun Mar 28, 2004 9:30 pm

I just recieved a MOTU 828mkII that I am using with Ableton Live. I have a question regarding the CueMix application.

I'd like to be able to monitor/route (hopefully multiple) Live outputs in the CueMix app, so I can use them in the CueMix 'mixes' and route them to different outputs --but the software outputs don't seem to be accessible in the CueMix console. What am I missing?

Please advise. TIA!!

aha. so I figured out the following...

From Live, 828mk2 Outputs 13/14 are the CueMix "Phones 1/2" outs. If you enable "Monitor Thru Live" in Live's Preferences, anything you PFL in Live will be routed to whichever CueMix Bus has "Phones 1/2" as it's outputs. Similarly, from Live, 828mk2 Outputs 3/4 go to Analog Outs 1/2...

It would be much cooler and more intuitive if CueMix offered some sort of channel strip for the software ports, since these are essentially just more mixer inputs, but this is livable.
