Ability to specify which outputs on the audio interface to use for each profile

I have a Presonus Quantum 2 interface. I am using outputs 1-2 to drive my nearfield monitors. The same signal goes to the headphone socket on the front of the audio interface. In Sonarworks I have a headphone profile and a monitor profile to select from depending on which I am using, and they are both routed to that main set of outputs. So far so good!

Now, I am planning to connect a second set of speakers to outputs 3-4 on the audio interface. I would like to be able to have a third profile for this in Sonarworks, which would have its own measurement profile for those speakers AND which would automatically route the signal to 3-4 instead of 1-2 when selected.

    Hey Mark!

    We have plans to introduce a multiple output list feature in the next major update. It will allow you to define a particular calibration profile for each of the outputs that are available for use. It will be integrated as an easy-to-manage output preset list.

    As long as those outputs are available as separate units without the intermediation of a software console you will be able to set a default profile for each one.

    Great, thanks. How often do you normally release major updates?

    Hey Mark!

    We usually release around two major updates in a period of a year, but there's no specific time frame for them. The next major update (4.3.) will be released within a month or so.

    I would also appreciate this eventual improvement. On one of my setups I use the 3/4 channels for headphone output. It would be nice to have selected channels attached automatically to their respective calibration profiles. I'm not sure if it would be feasible in a near future but other great improvements would be Systemwide support for more-than-2-channel audio setups and/or for simultaneous audio streamings on different interfaces.

    Hi Antonio, 

    Definitely, this functionality is partly available already in the latest version (download here). We will continue making improvements on that in the coming months, you can expect exactly what you're asking for - user presets with all settings assigned to the specific output channel. 

    And yes, multiple simultaneous outputs are also a request that we're taking very seriously. That will take more time though (not this year), but it is one of our ultimate goals for Systemwide!
