I do have a question about outputs;

I do have 2 ULN 8 boxes, one is the slave so all audio is monitored via the master.
I use to disconnect my monitors while tracking and connect output 1&2 from the master to a separate headphone amp with 6 cue lines.
Both boxes have the +DSP license but the slave box's dsp is not really used ( maybe a compressor on tracking )
So now I have this idea to send a headphone mix back from the master to the slave, to do some sub mixing (with the dsp of the slave box) for the headphone output to the band.
So far no problem.
But then I thought, why not set the monitor controller of the master to cans ( because I don't have/need monitors on location recordings of course ), listen to the tracking on the master box's headphone output,
and meanwhile send the sub mixed output via 1&2 of the slave box to the separate headphone amp.

I found, this is not possible, I managed to send signal to the headphone output of the slave box but that's just one extra headphone line.
But on the master bus of the slave box, output analog 1&2 are grayed out.
Am I missing something here, why can't I use the fysical output analog 1&2 of the slave box ?

I thought it was something with the monitor control, so I also send the slave bus to the MC, but that didn't give me signal too.

So do I want the impossible or do I overlook a thing or two ?

ps; Tracking of the 8 slave box pre amps is done via 8 digitals to the master box , hence no aggregate device.

No reason for this not to work. Please attach a copy of your console file so that I can look at it.
