Ok, I’ve had the preview routed to the headphones in the preferences already.
Ok, I’ve had the headphones in the control room strip on my mixer (at the far end on the right) set to Mix.
audio is coming out of the speakers but not the headphones…
d-_-b says:
and route your headphones in the cuemix to your main mix outputs
The VST output panel only allows you one use of a stereo out pair, not two at the same time,
so I’m guessing by that you mean change either on my audio interface the main outs to 3&4 and use 1&2 as the headphone outs instead. I did that and switched the cables too.
Wait a second: Did you mean the CUEMIX panel that Motu gives you with their software?
I never use that with cubase. I’m not trying to monitor audio coming thru any inputs with lo latency, etc.
Just editing and playing back. Not recording here (at least not right now with this project).
I just booted that up, forgot all about that thing.
Everything on it is muted. I just tried that, and it changes nothing no matter how I set that, I can have it off
and I still get playback whether the output is muted or not on the CueMix panel from MOTU as the VST connections seem to over ride that.
Now I’m getting more visual stuff on the mixer panels optional (or independent) Control Room Mixer.
Now when I click on the Control Room/Setup I’m getting meters for he headphones in addition to similar horizontal meters for the control room. However, nothings changed. I can get headphones only (either with or without speakers) when I’m using the space bar playback only, never when I use the speaker icon (also called ‘PLAY’ when you right click for extra options and have the tool box open not selected).
(Fellows I’ve been doing this kind of work professionally for 30 years, so be respectful, I’m NOT AN IDIOT, haha, even if these last couple versions 7 & 7.5 of Cubase make me feel dumb sometimes.)
I could use the headphone out of the MOTU i/o and turn the speaker volume down,
but I’m trying to learn how to use the control room and new graphic interface with individual outs for headphones from the outputs.
I have the outputs for headphones assigned to their own (see Orig Post)… so it should work. but doesn’t…
I changed it as seemingly it was suggested (maybe I misunderstoond your intention) so now its:
Main Out 1&2 - headphones
3&4 - main mix to Yamaha mixer ->amp->NS-10 speakers
5&6 - left for other options
7&8 - extra set of powered speakers (this works, btw)
I also put up the diagram: Control Room Overview and tried different routings there, but the headphone buss/lines/box won’t light up as if I can’t turn it on for some reason, it’s greyed out. Is that an indication of a physical problem that needs to be wired up or software switch selected somehow?

I made an image of the control room overview, but this forum doesn’t let you upload pictures and I don’t have a place to place it online. sorry, the yahoo user groups let you do that…too bad, it might make things easier. picture’s worth a 1000 words…
more ideas, or did I miss something… (using a mac on OS x.8.5 , Motu’s audio PCU audio setup window from latest download from their web site (good up to the new mac OX x.9 even though I don’t use that, so it’s not an old driver).
