Metering Ext Out Buses!!

Post by Redhand » Wed May 14, 2008 4:31 pm

Please someone out there help! I have been looking for a way to monitor my external outputs in ableton. I use all eight outs on my Saffire and would love to view my levels like I could on the master out. In cubase and any other DAW i can see my Output Buses just fine. Where the hell are they in LIVE!! Please don't say that i am limited to viewing just the master and cue buses. Please tell me I am less than intelligent and all i have to do is change a setting or click somewhere:)!!

Thanks in advance for your help,

Create a new track, set its output to "Output 3/4" or whatever, route all the existing "output3/4" track outputs to this track.

now, you can monitor the total volume output from channels 3/4 just by looking at this track on the mixer.

Repeat for all 4xstereo outputs. Drag them all to one conveniant spot.
