Perhaps this will be helpful: The software for my Zoom UAC-8 (Mix Efx) gives me an on screen mixer which enables each of the 8 non-midi input channels with a circular knob-like control for the channel gain, which impacts directly upon the level sent to the output. It also features slider controls for each channel's input, and I can eliminate the input in my JKZ headphone mix by running the slider down all the way (or on the slider grid, to -00). This is helpful not only for JKZ, but for home recording as well, because rolling down the input volume permits me to match the volume of already recorded tracks to which I am adding an additional track. without impacting the output level for that track which becomes part of the recording, and can still be mixed up or down as necessary when perfecting the recorded mix.
Additionally, I can discretely choose and change the output (Main Out includes input, but Line Out does not). To sum up, try to figure out if your MOTU lets you regulate input volume down to no presence, or see if you have a choice of outputs that does not include present input.
