Xmon Question
Is there any advantage to using the main and surround outputs if I'm not doing surround?
My main studio Monitors are fed by the Cue Outputs. Still trying to decide if I want to use my 2nd cue send for my second set of monitors, or use it as designed for my second cue send. This whole Xmon wiring thing is kicking my butt. They made it way harder than it needed to be. I'll take all the advice you are willing to give.

Do you have the install guide? Get that pdf, it spells it all out and it's easy. You def want to use the main and alt speaker outs for speakers and the cue outs for cues. The D Command's monitor controller area is labeled accordingly and all that would be wrong if you did it the way you're saying. For example, do you want to control your main monitors by having the adjust the Cue1 control on the desk? Nope!! Also, things like auto talkback and auto listen mic operation (two of the best parts of X-Mon) wouldn't work. Spend the time to set it up the way it was intended, you'll be happier in the end. |

Re: Xmon Question
Also, did your unit come with the lean overlays for the automation "write to" changes?
Blue units have old labeling on them for these functions, which have changed, and Avid sent out a lean overlay to "fix" the issue. |

Re: Xmon Question
We had one for our older D Command Blue a long time ago and it was a Lexan overlay, just a plastic piece you put ontop of the monitor section for auto write if I remember correctly and we got it from Avid. Just send them an email and i am sure they will be able to let you know if they have any left. I think we ordered ours like 2008-2009 so maybe those aren't stocked anymore. Hope they are
