CUEMIX FX INSTALLATION

CueMix FX is installed with the rest of your
828mk3 software.

CUEMIX FX BASIC OPERATION

Here is a brief overview of the CueMix FX mixer.
Eight stereo mix busses
CueMix provides eight stereo mix busses: Bus 1,
Bus 2, Bus 3, and so on. Each mix bus can take any
number of inputs and mix them down to any
828mk3 output pair that you choose. For example,
Bus 1 could go to the headphones, Bus 2 could go to
the main outs, Bus 3 could go to a piece of outboard
gear connected to analog outputs 7-8, etc.

Many inputs to one output pair
It might be useful to think of each mix bus as some
number of inputs all mixed down to a stereo output
pair. CueMix FX lets you choose which inputs to
include in the mix, and it lets you specify the level,
pan and other input-specific mix controls for each
input being fed into the mix.
Viewing one mix bus at a time
CueMix FX displays one mix bus at a time in the
Mixes tab (Figure 9-2 on page 69). To select which
mix you are viewing, choose it from the mix bus
menu (Figure 9-2). The mix name appears above
the mix bus master fader (Figure 9-2), where you
can click the name to change it.
