All first and second row fader are what you are sending to this subgroup/mix. Click on output adat 1 2. Now all top rows should be down. In the middle row only the channel from cubase you want to send there should be up, for summing mixer 1 2. Now click on adat 3 4 and do the same etc.
Now click on the output bottom fader that is connected to your speakers. All top row should be down, you don't want to heear hardware inputs from totalmix. In the middle row only the fader that is connected to your control room out must be up, the rest down.
FYI the top and middle faders only send to harware outs, not to cubase or inputs. The inputs are always working for recording no matter what you do with the faders or mutes. It is only a giant mixer for what you want to hear and in your case send to the summingmixer.
If this does not help it is back to the rme tmfx videos.
Ok, here's where the disconnect is, I think. The summing mixer is coming in on analog 1/2, not adat. In my case, I wind up with 16 channels of adat, middle row, being pulled up, connected to their respective hardware output on the bottom row. E.g., I click on adat 1/2 at bottom, and ONLY the fader on middle row, that's assigned to it (also adat 1/2) is up. I did the same thing for all bottom row (hardware) outs.
The output bottom fader that's connected to my speakers is over to the right, the totalmix control room. I click that, and I HAVE to have the input channel up at the top that's sending my summed mix back into cubase, analog 1/2, otherwise, I can't capture the summed mix in cubase, or at least that's the only way that makes sense to me. That's exactly how I did it with the old interface anyway.
When you said, "In the middle row only the fader that is connected to your control room out must be up, the rest down.", well all of those faders on my middle row are the individual adat outs that go to my summing mixer, so they all have to be up. Since my speakers are connected via analog 1/2 out of the FF, should I see a signal in the middle row on AN 1/2, because I don't.
Yes, I can pull up all middle row adat channels to connect them to the analog 1/2 bottom row, and thus send audio to the speakers, but then I'm not capturing the summed mix from the hardware chain, as it comes back into cubase. Therefore, in my case, when I click on analog out 1/2 on bottom row (inside the totalmix control room), their are no faders up in the middle, all hardware outs bottom row are up, and analog 1/2 top row is up.
All I keep coming back to is that this routing is fairly common for analog summing. And I gotta say it again, worked perfectly with the Quantum interface. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there's got to be something I'm doing wrong, or may have to route differently, in order to achieve Control room functionality again.
Please, call me out if I'm being dense and not understanding. But I think I understand the basic routing stuff fairly well. I mean, I have to stop and think about it sometimes because its not 2nd nature yet, but still.
