I am using Powertracks 14 with a Focusrite 6i6. My question is, can I have more than one mix coming out of the Scarlett? What I would like to do is have a stereo mix of the sequence coming out of one set of outputs, and, a separate stereo feed of drum only from another set of outputs. I would like to ride the drum levels on my audio board during live performances with out effecting the rest of the sequence.

You should.
I don't have the 6i6, but with other multi-in/out interfaces I have done this a few times.

Select the second Driver you want for the drum tracks
Audio Preferences-Driver button

Highlight the other driver on the output side (like line out 3/4) and Save


Go to the drum track and assign it to the audio output you just created by using right-click - Port
This tells the track which audio output to use (if it is an audio track).
If it is a MIDI track it'll need to be converted to an audio track, or assigned to a different MIDI output Port ...so it goes to a different synth sound source.

Thanks for your help, is it possible to do with midi drums and one Scarlett 6i6 or would I need more than one module?

For this I'd use the subgroups probably in the lower right corner.

Your MIDI drums will come out the default (1&2) out, and you can assign the other audio tracks to 2&3 or such.
Another way, if you know what you want to do ahead of time, is to record the mixer moves for the track ...

The images below show where to set up the separate tracks.
1-to select drivers (see 3)
2 - to assign the subgroups as separate outs on the soundcard, unckeck the box
3 - Highlite the outputs you want to use by holding CTRL key and clicking on them
4 - In Mixer, click the desired output port asignment
5 - go to Ports and assign the track to the ports
6 - Shows how the output section changed from 'G' (subgroup) 1 thru 8 to 'A' (audio output ports)

/another little known trick is to change the output port of the Aux Send instead .. this way you can have a few different mixes going to different monitors/headphones. .. by adjusting the AUX send for those tracks. Example: drummer gets Aux 2/3 and can boost the bass track and vocals and cut the drums/guitar in his mix as desired without affecting FOH or the mix the singer is using! Especially good for controlling a click track in live situations; crank it for drummer and bass, cut it for vocals, etc.
Hope this all helps

Need clarification on the question. Exactly what do you want to do?

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
