Viewing a mix
To view a mix, click its tab at the bottom of the
window, as shown in Figure 13-1. The mix name
appears in the tab.
Naming a mix
Double-click the mix name in the tab.
Master mute
The master mute button (Figure 13-1) temporarily
disables (silences) the mix.
Master fader
The master fader (Figure 13-1) controls the overall
level of the mix (its volume on its stereo output).
Use the individual input faders to the left to control
individual input levels.
Output level meters
The OUT level meters show you the output for the
mix's physical output, which may include audio
from your host audio software. The clip indicators
clear themselves after a few seconds.
Input section
The channel strips to the left of the master fader
represent each input in your 828mkII. Use the
input scroll bar to view additional inputs.
Input mute/solo
To add an input to a mix, or remove it, click its
MUTE button. To solo it, use its SOLO button. To
toggle these buttons for a stereo pair, hold down
the command key while clicking either channel.
The Solo indicator LED (Figure 13-1) lights up
when any input is soloed (including inputs that
may currently be scrolled off-screen).
Input volume and pan
Use the input fader and pan knob (Figure 13-1) to
adjust these settings for the input in the mix. Again,
all settings within the gray-shaded channel strip
area belong to the mix currently being viewed.
Note that an input can have different settings in
different mixes.

MESSAGE CENTER

The Message Center displays fly-over help for items

REFERENCE LEVEL AND +6DB BOOST

The reference level and +6dB boost settings at the
very top of the CueMix Console window
(Figure 13-1) affect each input globally, across all
mixes and for audio being routed to the computer.
For example, if you add 6dB of boost, your host
software will receive the boost for that input as well.
Boost
This setting (Figure 13-1) adds 6 dB of gain to the
input signal. This setting is applied globally for the
input.
