Stereo to mono out - amsmarle - 04-13-2015

Hi there,

Please can anyone advise if I can set stereo out to mono within MB to allow me to connect a single mono reference monitor from a pair of TRS line-outs from my Audiobox 44VSL

Regards

Alan

Mixbus uses JackIn jack one can (almost) make any connection one likes

So one can connect master/out 1 to system:playback_8 and master/out2 to system:playback_8 : supposing that to system:playback_8 is connecting to your mono reference monitor. Left and right out are summed.

To be honest : i do not understand what you mean by : from a pair of TRS line-outs from my Audiobox 44VSL

Basically lane can connect any number of outputs of mix bus to a hardware output.

I hope i am clear .. if not tell Wink

Kind regards

Frank

Right, you can send the L+R signal to both outputs of your device to make the signal mono, but that's not easy to switch on-the-fly.

I suggest using a plugin like "Stereo Tool" by Flux; Set the plugin up to mono your signal, and then enable/disable it when you want to switch between mono/stereo.

The upcoming version, Mixbus v3, has a dedicated "mono" button on the monitor outputs.

Maybe we should disturb the community, by suggesting that Mixbus 3 is cancelled..

Mixbus 3 is just an internal version.

The new Mixbus version will be 4.0 , since it will be based on Ardour 4.X

Wich by the way will run on Linux Kernel 4.0 ! (out yesterday !)

Just a Dutch invention, but maybe not such a bad idea:
"I have recorded everything in Ardour 4 : can I import the stems in Mixbus 3? Can i Import it in Mixbus 4 ?"
will sound more logical or systematic.


I noticed Ben is quite active in the Ardour apart of this world Wink


Kind regards

Your welcome Alan.

My suggestion of a setup was based of the idea that you have a dedicated output for your Mono sum monitor.

Hey Ben, when do we get our Mixbus 4 waaahh waaahhh Big Grin

Kernel 4.0? Time to set up an experimental partition and see if there's any improvement in the interrupt affinity... Still getting some soft-xruns with 2 x M-Audio 1010LT, not audible but I don't like these ugly numbers in qjackctl Undecided

MMM

P.S. Have you ever heard of Duke Nukem Forever? Took them only 15 years (forever haha)... - However I know Harrison will do a better job than the Duke developers...

Hello, I guess that you don't need test the new kernel. Wink
The version 4.0 is only because new kernel numbering( https://plus.google.com/+LinusTorvalds/posts/jmtzzLiiejc ) ..instead of continue in 3.x series after 3.20 was numbering changed to 4.x series.
So there is no huge improvements or changes, it's simply 3.21 kernel re-numbered to 4.0....but it's effective Big Grin

Yeah I read that, too... however, isn't it a nice opportunity as I'm currently under 3.2?
