ACTIVATING 828MKII INPUTS

Once you've chosen the MOTU FireWire ASIO
driver in the Audio System dialog as explained
earlier in "Choosing the MOTU FireWire ASIO
driver" on page 81, choose VST Inputs from the
Panels menu (or the Devices menu in Cubase SX)
to see the 828mkII inputs. To activate them, click
the Active light next to each input. If you don't see
the optical inputs and/or outputs, check the
MOTU FireWire Audio Console to make sure they
are turned on and set to the format you require. If
you don't plan to use the optical input or output,
turn it off to conserve computer bandwidth.
The "Mix1 1-2" input
In Cubase's VST Inputs window, you'll see an
828mkII input called Mix1 1-2. 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 Cubase (for reference
and archiving purposes). Further, if you are
sending audio from Cubase to the same output pair
as MIX1, you can choose to either include or
exclude the audio from the computer in the stream
being sent back to Cubase. For details on how to do
this, see "Mix1 Return Includes Computer" on
page 100.
☛
Warning: the Mix1 1-2 input can cause
feedback loops! DO NOT assign this input to a
track that shares the same 828mkII output pair as
MIX1.
