Ableton Forum

Hi, I'm set up for dj-ing in ableton. I have a fast track pro, which I've finally figured out how to cue with. I also have a new motu ultralite and I still haven't figured out how to cue with it. I've used the same template on my two computers so ableton is properly set up to do this. Master out 1/2, Cue out 3/4, a send for cue/mix that is disarmed (Audio To is set to Ext Track to 3/4), an A track, a B track, both armed, a cue track that is disarmed as well to show me the level of the incoming track. All sends are set to full A. On the interface, in "metre" is showing that a master is playing and also a cue track....but I can't hear a cue track in my headphones. It's easy on the fast track pro, I can just switch the A/B button, is there something like this that I need to do on this interface??? Thanks.

MOTU ULtralight is a bit strange. try this:
Master out: 11/12, cue out: 1/2

No dice....the interface only has 8 outs, so I switched it to 7/8 for master out and 1/2 for cue. I also switched the cue send audio to ext out 1/2....I can finally hear the cue track, but it also comes out of the master....now if I can figure out how to get that so it's only going into the headphones....thanks....

You need to set your Master to 1/2 and your Cue to 13/14. Then, open the CueMix FX app, and in the Phones menu select "Phones 1-2".

What you're doing with that is making your Phones output independent from your Main Out. If you don't do the CueMix step, you'll hear through the phones both what you send to the Phones Out (13/14) and to the Main Out (1/2).
