Hello N12ers,

After playing with the N12 some more and reading posts and the manual I realize that it won't do what I was asking in my last post 3 posts back.

I like to use groups for some instruments, especially drums and then mix them from a single fader. For instance I group the bottom and top SD channels to a single mono fader. I also group the toms and OHs. On the N12 I would send the BD to CH1, the SD group to CH2, the Toms to CH 9/10 and the OHs to CH 11/12. I can do this on the N12 but I can't use the Work Mode buttons for this or it screws up my "group" routings when I switch back and forth.

I'll have to use a different way of working. This means I basically won't be using the hardware mode unless I re-do all the routing in Cubase manually. Too bad. It would be great if Cubase could remember output settings as a preset so you could reconfigure the mixer and it's outputs to the N12 for tracking and then for mixing. Or if it could have a programmable preset routing that responded to the "ST MIX" command and another for the "HARDWARE MIX"command. I'm pretty sure this would be a software and not a hardware feature.

If I'm totally missing some feature in Cubase 4.5.2 or the N12 mixer that does this please let me know. I'd be very happy to know about it.

Cheers,
Frank
