Hi. Due to a slight hum in my aux channells on a Trident Series 64
Console (of which I use as headphone sends), I am considering running
a headphone mix directly out of my ProTools 192 I/O. I'm thinking this
might give me a fast fix and a quieter headphone signal.

In my current set up, I use my plugins exclusively and return back to
the board from PT through output 1 and 2. Thus, my other outputs are
rarely used and certainly 15 and 16 could be utilized for headphones
(or 7 and 8)

So, here are my questions:

1. Has anyone done this?
2. Can I set up an additional bus or aux in PT for each track and
route this to outputs 15 and 16 (or maybe 7 and 8). Then feed that
directly to the headphone amp?
3. If this is possible, then it is possible to use more I/O outputs to
provide for multiple headphone mixes?

Your comments are appreciated.
