Options with Layla 3G...

JohnnyPraze · 18th April 2007, 05:23 AM

I recently bought an Echo Layla 3G and I want to know if there are any other options for monitoring?

I currently have my monitors directly connected to the analog 1&2 outs.

I record vocals in the same room I monitor from, so I'm looking for a better way to route a headphone mix.

Using the headphone out isnt an option because when I mute the 1&2 outs for the monitors, I loose the headphone signal as well.

Can I output from 1&2 and 3&4 at the same time? I can't figure this out.

I thought about using "Y" splitters but I'm still going to have a issue when muting the monitors...

I really don't want to spend $400 on a Presonus Cental Station...

What can I do?

Theres a couple things you can do. you can create a headphone mix and send that to 3/4 and mute 1/2 in you sequencer program. Or you can just turn your volume down on your montors or leave them off.

I have a Layla 24 - all I do is send the headphone out of the Layla to the input of a 6 output headphone amp that's right under it in the rack, and I have a kill switch for my monitors which are connected to the 1&2 outs of the Layla. Couldn't be any simpler.
