Mix Settings

3.5.2
Pre/Post. Sets the position of the digital send for the selected channel
before or after the Fat Channel processing. When Post is enabled, the
signal sent to the digital bus is post-EQ and post-dynamics processing.
When Pre is enabled, the signal sent to the digital bus is post-High Pass
Filter and polarity, but before all other Fat Channel processing. All digital
sends are pre-fader except for the subgroups and the main outputs.
Color. Touch to set a custom color for the current
channel's Select button while on the main mix.
Power User Tip: Creating colors for different channel types is a
great way to visually group channels, allowing you to quickly
identify a channel by type (drums, guitars, vocals, etc.)
Pressing the gear icon in the Selected Mix banner in the touchscreen will open
the Settings screen. Here you can change the name, mix type, and more.
Name. Touch the name to bring up the Text Entry screen. From here you can
customize the name of the mix. The name will be displayed in the touchscreen
when the mix is selected and in the scribble strip display for that mix's output.
Power User Tip: Like channel names, the mix name is also synchronized
with all synchronized networked devices and software, such as UC
Surface, QMix-UC, and Capture, so you only have to name it once.
Aux/Sub. The 16 mixes of an RM-series mixer can be switched
to function as either an aux mix or a subgroup.
Power User Tip: Aux mixes are typically used for creating individual monitor
mixes that are tailored to each performer's needs. Whereas a subgroup allows
you to combine multiple channels into a single bus, giving you level control
for the entire group that can be processed by the Fat Channel processing.
Edit. When the selected mix is setup as a subgroup, the Edit button
will be visible. Pressing this button will open the Channel Assignments
screen. From here you can quickly assign channels to the subgroup.
Pre 1/Pre 2/Post. When the selected mix is setup as an aux mix. You will have the
option to designate at what point you want the channel sends to be placed.
• Pre 1: This is the default setting for all aux mixes. This sends every input
channel to each aux bus before the fader, limiter, EQ, and compressor
and after the Polarity Invert switch, highpass filter, and gate.
• Pre 2: Sends each channel to the aux bus after all Fat
Channel processing (polarity invert, high pass filter, gate,
compressor, EQ, and limiter) but before the fader.
• Post: Sends each channel to the Aux bus after all Fat Channel processing (polarity
invert, highpass filter, gate, compressor, EQ, and limiter) and after the fader.
Power User Tip: Use the Pre 2 position for headphone and in-ear mixes
to give your performers a polished "studio" sound. This setting should be
avoided for floor wedges, as compression can cause feedback problems.
Delay. Output delay is available on the last four mixes with physical
outputs on the RM mixer (13-16 on the RM32 and 5-8 on the RM16).
Delays can be adjusted, in 0.5 ms increments, from 0.5 to 300 ms.
