St Cue 1 To G Comp & Sum To Main Bus - Solid State Logic BiG SiX User Manual

Console Overview
ST CUE 1 TO G COMP & SUM TO MAIN BUS
This somewhat strangely named switch/feature allows the use of Stereo Cue 1 to create parallel mixes. A typical example is where
you want to use the bus compressor to act on a drum mix and this to then be summed in parallel to the main mix i.e. creating a
compressed drum mix, but with other elements left uncompressed. By creating the parallel drum mix on Stereo Cue 1 from the
console's channels, if you then press ST CUE 1 TO G COMP & SUM TO MAIN BUS the Stereo Cue 1 mix passes through the G
Series Bus Compressor and it is summed with the Main mix, while the Main mix bypasses the G-Series Bus Compressor. e.g.
