Switching The Stereo Cues From Pre To Post Fader; Artist Cue Mixes; Foldback Outputs As Effects Sends - Solid State Logic SiX User Manual

Detailed Description

Switching the Stereo Cues from Pre to Post fader

By default, both Stereo Cue sends 1 and 2 are sourced pre-fader in the mono and stereo channels. The CUE POST switch at the
top of the Foldback Master section allows each CUE send to be sourced post fader (pre balance) to the Stereo Cue mixes.

Artist Cue Mixes

The Foldback features of SiX are designed to provide a separate artist mix from the engineer's monitoring and headphone feed
using the Mono and Stereo Channel's Cue Send buses. Typically, the fully balanced outputs will be connected to a dedicated
Headphone amplifier or Cue system, although there is enough level to drive many headphones directly with suitable wiring
(balanced left and right outputs wired to unbalanced left/right headphone connection).
The EXT 1 and EXT 2 switches in the Foldback master section provide a simple way to feed an external source to the Foldback
outputs. These are typically used when it would be useful to play something directly to the artist - for example a rough mix from a
phone/DAW.

Foldback Outputs as Effects Sends

It is perfectly feasible to use the Foldback Outputs as stereo feeds to external effects processors such as delays and reverbs.
Typically, the processor's output would be connected to one of the External returns, then summed to the main bus using the
External summing switches to the Main Bus above the Main Fader.
