Default Mono Output

Hey this has been racking my brain, i'm going to get a single Avantone Mixcube as a reference monitor so i can check my songs in mono. The cable i currently have laying around to use would be a stereo 1/4"TRS to XLR (wanting to use it as only mono though obviously).

I use my Virus as the soundcard through USB with Ableton. I use output1 on the virus for my main monitors.

I was hoping i could somehow plug the mixcube into the headphone jack instead of having to unplug a main monitor everytime i wanted to check my mono summing.

I'm thinking i need to put a mono VST plugin on my master track in Ableton which would output a double mono correct? (there is still L+R information but each channel is identical).

So if i have my stereo cable plugged into one speaker, will that output the double mono from my DAW as just normal mono on the Mixcube?

Are your other monitors passive (ie not amp in them), you could use your same amp for both speakers and use a speaker switch.

Hello chris,
I think you need a monitor controller like the Presonus Monitor Station or Maybe the Mackie big knob

Have a look at this http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/nov0...torstation.htm

Hope that helps

Are you guys serious that i can't find a way to make my headphone output work to send sound to a Mixcube? Even if i make my song in my DAW mono?

I rather just swap out cables on the output 1 than buy something extra...i just can't believe there's no way to utilize the headphone output for a 2nd reference monitor instead of headphones.
