I have enough analog inputs with the ufx and xtc. I use analog outputs 1/2 for my B monitors. Analog outputs 3-8 run to a six channel headphone amp used only when tracking live groups.
I would like to more easily swap 3-8 when mixing and overdubbung. Mainly to insert a couple analog compressors and to reamp guitars and bass. (I intend to ask in another post some questions about how you reamp.)
For cable length it would be no more than 6 feet. It could be shorter if the solution where Rack mounted with the ufx.
For cost I was looking low end. I am not sure I want to enter the world of wiring a full patch bay.
I saw an ART TPatch 8-Point 1/4 Inches TRS Balanced Patchbay but was not sure if something like that would be right.
However, I would consider another RME device to add more outputs instead of multi punishing the ufx. Thx.
