Hello all, I'm new to FM3 and I'm loving it.
I bought good monitors with XML inputs and I have my headphones. The way I normally work is while recording vocals, I turn down the monitors. I don't want to have to add different outputs to my presets but if I have to, I will. It seems like the easiest solution for my normal workflow is to have a small 2 xlr in/2 xlr out mixer with headphones out jack, but I don't see reasonably-priced mixers with that setup.
I know the output 1 volume will affect both monitors and headphones, so how do you guys deal with this? I want to be able to always hear on headphones but have a volume knob to control my monitors.
I read in some posts that I can just copy output 1 to output 2 and put my monitors on output 2, but do I lose any quality switching to non-xlr cables?
Thanks for the patience and help.
