SCOPE/RETURN CHANNELS

Choose Devices menu> MicroBook>
Setup to access the Scope/Return Channel
Selection settings below (Figure 7-7). The
MicroBook sends two extra return
channels to the host audio software
running on your computer. This window
lets you control the audio source for each
channel and whether or not the signal
will be processed with the MicroBook EQ
and/or Dynamics processing settings via
the Pre/post effects menu.
Note that you can route entire mix busses,
and even MicroBook output signals, back
to the computer.

Return channels
The source for the Return 1 and Return 2
channels in your host audio software
(provided by the MicroBook Core Audio
and ASIO driver) are determined by
Scope/Return channel settings
(Figure 7-7).

For example, if you want to mix inputs
with effects and send the result to
MicroBook outputs, but you also want to
send those same inputs dry (no
processing) to the host, then select those
inputs in the Scope/Return menus and
choose Return 1 and/or Return 2 as the
input to your host software.
Scope channels
The CueMix FX tuner and audio analysis
(scoping) features described on the next
few pages always look at the two Scope/
Return channels (Figure 7-7).
TUNER
The Tuner window is an accurate and
easy to use tuner. Choose the Tuner item
Pre/post
from the Devices menu, under the
effects
MicroBook. The Tuner follows the
currently chosen Scope/Return channels.
The displayed channel pair is shown in
the lower left corner. Each channel has a
check box to enable or disable its input to
the tuner.
