routing stereo output 1-2 issue

Hello,


Here is my equipment :

- Macbook Pro snow leopard up to date

- Logic Pro9.1.7

- Presonus StudioLive 16.4.2 used as 18o/32i ch firewire audio interface


I have search a large part of internet and found very few subject related to this issue :

I have set up the audio interface driver + mac core audio to route the digital stereo output to channel 17-18 instead of 1-2 in order to keep line 1-2 of my mixer for something more usefull than global playback but single play back.

I have set up Logic Pro for routing stero output to channel 17-18 unmirrored.


It's working because when sending somethings to these channel through logic is received correctly on the mixer BUT when sending anything to output 1 or 2(in mono) is not received on ch 1 or 2 of the mixer, it is routed to "stereo output"... Working fine on channels 3 to 16, the 2 first are simply dead.


This logic pro limitation leads to loose 2 channel of digital mixer if not used as general stereo output thus we have 2 channels already dedicated for this.


Please apple let us the possibility to use outputs 1-2 like outputs 3to16, and route "stereo output" to the proper channel.


Regards

Logic Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I have the same problem using my A&H ZED-R16 with Logic 9. If I re-assign Logic's Stereo Output to the R16's Main Outs I lose access to outputs 1 & 2.


My workaround is to leave the assignment of the Stereo Output to 1 & 2 and if I want to send anything to the Main Outs I route it to 17 & 18.


I also route the System outs to 17 & 18 in the Audio Midi Setup so that iTunes and QuickTime Player etc can play through my monitors.


If I want to bounce a stereo mix from Logic I have to re-assign the output to Stereo Output otherwise the bounced file is silent. Often I forget and wonder why I can't play the file back.


It would be great if you could re-assign the Stereo Output to 17 & 18 without losing access to outputs 1 & 2.
