MIX1 RETURN INCLUDES COMPUTER

The Mix1 return includes computer item in the
CueMix Console File menu refers to the Mix1 bus
that the 828mkII driver provides as an input to host
audio software. This input source delivers the
output of CueMix DSP "MIX1" (the first mix bus of
the four on-board no-latency monitor mixes in the
828mkII) back to your computer. This input
serves, for example, as a convenient way for you to
record the 828mkII's MIX1 monitor mix back into
your host audio software (for reference and
archiving purposes).
When the Mix1 return includes computer menu
item is checked, any audio being sent from your
audio software on the computer to the same output
as Mix1 will be included in the Mix1 return bus.
When it is uchecked, computer output is excluded.
This menu item is essentially a pre/post switch for
the computer audio insert to the stream of audio
going to Mix1's 828mkII output pair (and also back
to the computer).
SHOW METER IN DOCK ICON (MAC OS X
ONLY)
This CueMix Console File menu item, when
checked, causes the CueMix Console dock icon to
display a small level meter that mirrors the main
output meter for the current mix being displayed in
CueMix Console.

PHONES MENU

The Phones menu allows you to choose what you
will hear on the headphone output, just like the
Phones setting the MOTU FireWire Audio
Console. However, this menu provides one extra
option that is exclusive to CueMix Console: Follow
Active Mix. This menu item, when checked, causes
100
the headphone output to mirror the output of the
current mix being viewed in CueMix Console. For
example, if you are currently viewing Mix3 (the
Mix3 tab is active), the headphones will mirror the
Mix3 output (whatever it is assigned to).

SAVING AND LOADING PRESETS

As explained earlier in "Save/Name Preset" on
page 55, the 828mkII can store up to 16 presets in
its on-board memory. A preset includes of all
CueMix DSP settings for all for mix busses, but it
excludes global settings like clock source and
sample rate.
The Load Preset and Save Preset commands in the
CueMix Console file menu let you name, save and
load presets in the 828mkII.
SAVING AND LOADING PRESETS TO/FROM
DISK
The Save and Load commands in the CueMix
Console File menu allow you to save 828mkII
presets to and from your hard drive. This allows
you to save an unlimited number of 828mkII
presets on disk. (Use the Load Preset and Save
Preset commands to get presets from — and save
them to — the 828mkII itself.) Click the Save
button to save the current configuration; click the
Load button to open an existing configuration that
you have previously saved on disk.
