MOTU Ultralite MK3 headphone output

Question

Hi All
I would appreciate some assistance if anybody has been through this problem.
I am unable (despite reading the manual) to get my output from logic pro 8 to outputs 7+8 on the Mk3 (for my headphone amp) unless I change the all the channel outputs within the Logic mixer to the corresponding channel outputs for 7+8.
I would like to have my Uktralite Mk3 send (via a bus?) the output from the Main outputs also to outputs 7+8 where I will connect my headphone amplifier. I have tried to work though this but it's driving me nuts. I would appreciate the indivual steps to make this happen.
I am a newbie so I apologise if this is basic stuff.
Thanks

MOTU offer the same workaround as above. This from their site incase anybody else has the same issue. Still can't believe you can't mirror the main outs within Cuemix and send them to the other outputs.
How do I hear the output of my DAW on more than one bus in CueMix?
Each CueMix bus is a mix of:
1. The input sources that you are monitoring in the CueMix Console
2. Any audio playing back from your computer that is assigned to the same outputs that your CueMix busses are assigned to
So to hear the output of your DAW on more than one bus in CueMix, in your DAW you will need to route the audio playing back to the same outputs that your CueMix busses use.
For example, let's say you're using an 828mkII and you'd like to create two monitor mixes, and the output of your DAW needs to be heard in each mix. We'll say the first CueMix bus is assigned to Main Out 1-2, and the second CueMix bus is assigned to Analog 7-8.
In Digital Performer, you would follow these steps:
* Assign all of your tracks' outputs to bus 1-2
* Create two aux tracks, both with bus 1-2 as their input
* Set the output of the first aux track to Main Out 1-2, and the output of the second to Analog 7-8
* Now all audio is being routed to bus 1-2, and is in turn routed to both Main Out 1-2 and 7-8
You can do the same thing in other DAWs by following similar steps to route your audio through a bus to multiple outputs; check your DAW's documentation for specific details.
