Setting Up Logic X with a Behringer Powerplay 16

I have 16 outputs on my Symphony I/0

I want to assign 14 individual outputs on Logic X software to interface with my Behringer Powerplay 16 monitor set up.

I am not sure the best approach to accomplish this on Logic X.

Its is very intuitive on Pro Tools.

Not so much on Logic X.

Please Advise.

 

Thank You

I assign the outputs via send bus pre fader.

In PT10 you can assign an output route on the bus/send section of each channel. It takes 3clicks.

So far in Logic X it is quite the process...not intuitive at all.

I have discovered in Logic X you can assign a bus...set it pre fader..set the level to unity...Then the software automatically creates a AUX bus Channel. Then you must assign the Aux bus to a dedicated output and pan the aux L or R depending on which output that instrument is assigned to. That is the set up I went with.

I was surprised that when I muted the original instrument channel that it also muted the bus send. The Bus send was set at pre fader so it should not mute the signal flow but it did......so confusing, the pre fader bus does not flow like a real console.

any advise?

I see. At least you can make the Aux mono: click the input format button at the top right of the channel strip, the double-interleaved circles to turn it into a single circle. Now you can choose a mono output – no need pan things hard L or R.

 

I was surprised that when I muted the original instrument channel that it also muted the bus send.

Indeed, I wouldn't expect channel mute to also mute pre-fader sends, but unfortunately I can confirm this behavior... I think I remember it working as expected in prior Logic versions...
