do you mean use the prelisten?

I'm not sure if it is different with Live 3 than it is with 4 (this is how you would do it in 4) in the main outs section you can pull down cue and master, assign master to one output and cue to another. You might want to check in the options menu to see if you have mulitipul outs with the M-box.

But I think that the M-box has 2 balanced mono outputs you can assign master to one and cue to the other. I think you will not get stereo effects, because you are sending the mains out a mono oput and the headphone out the other mono out which together used to be a stereo out. but I could be wrong test it out and see. the headphone outs on the M-box are probablly just playing what comes out of the main outs but that is just a guess from dealing with similar external sound cards.

you will also want to change from solo to cue that allows you to click the solo/headphone button for each channel and listen to that channel only through the headphones.

Thx ,, the thing is that in in the preference/audio/routing window i can't select different outputs . (master & Prelisten)
They both have the same out line. no window scrolls down for other option.
thank u

MBox only has one stereo output (or two mono) thus there is no way to prelisten in Stereo.
