Monitoring Multiple Interfaces (MEC + MEC + 442) [message #110176]

Hi everyone,

Question about monitoring multiple interfaces in Paris.

Is there a way to monitor the sum of outputs of multiple interfaces/card submixes via one assigned physical output only?

For example, if I have a MEC on card A, another MEC on card B, and a 442 on card C, do I have to connect every single of their outputs to my mixer to monitor all of them?

OR is there a mythical and possible way to configure it in the Patch Bay so that the main outs of all of the 3 interfaces are routed to only one physical output?

Best,
MFO

Hi.
Simply assign the monitor outputs of submix one (the master card) to two outputs on MEC 1.
That will automatically give you a stereo mix of all submixes.
Cheers.

Hey Kim, thanks for the answer. Yes I've always been able to monitor all submixes (A to D in my case) via one MEC A OUT. However, I was unable to hear the inputs of the other interfaces (other non A MECs and 442s). For example, when connecting external FX hardware to those interfaces.

After many attempts, I'm now able to monitor all interfaces via MEC A only.

This is what worked for me, MEC A is obviously the main MEC, the following interface needed to be B, and in addition I had to use BNC cables in cascade. For example, MEC A BNC OUT > 442 BNC IN, and so forth.

Without any BNC cables, I could always see the other interfaces but was unable to hear their INs and OUTs when connecting external fx (send & return). After connecting the BNC cables, I could hear all audio.

Best!
