Hey guys , I was winding if there was a simple (or maybe not simple) way to route the main mix and 6 seperate "cue mixes" over adat on Apollo 8
Console 2.0 cue mixing over adat

I don't think so. You can get 4 cues over ADAT with Console 2, but the Auxes don't have independent out, so you can't utilize those. Main mix would also be unassignable.

Makes me wish it had a full "patchbay" for routing...
So what's the best solution to get something like this , PTHD?

Which Apollo do you have?

A twin duo and a black Apollo 8
Unfortunately the Cue and Aux routing is a weak point of Console 2.
There are only 4 Cues, however, they are stereo. I think the Apollo 8 defaults to 2 Cues. To set 4 Cues select the Menu screen and set your Cue Bus count to 4.
As the cues are stereo, and this will give you eight channels. In the Cue Output screen set the Cue outputs 1 to 4 to ADAT 1 to 8.
You can then pan the Console 2 channels hard left and hard right to get them to play in the individual cue outputs as you require, but that leaves you a problem with the stereo mix. You can do a mix and route it to a Cue, but it will reflect everything panned left and right...
Or you can use a Cue to mirror the Stereo mix, but then you cannot set the 6 individual Cues as you would like.
An alternative is to do the mixing of the stereo mix and 6 sub channels you require in 8 channels in the DAW and return the mixes on virtual channels and send these virtual channels to the Cue outputs, or use the DAW for the 6 individual cues and Console for the stereo mix.

Actually this solves my issue as I was looking for the main mix and 6 mono mixes
So if I'm understanding correctly I can copy my main mix to cue 1 and then set up the 6 mono submixes using the 3 other cues and panini them for separation
Will that work alright?

Yes, panning the channel's cue send will send it to the appropriate out. This would give you 8 separate outs. Panning them all left would give you 4 sub mixes sent to ADAT 1, 3, 5, and 7.
That will work.
