CUEMIX FX

Output

When the Split Point is set to Output, the sends in

Output tab become active and the returns in the

Mix bus tab gray out. This allows you to send from

inputs, mixes and outputs and return to outputs.

Primary controls

The Primary Controls section (Figure 9-23) in the

Reverb tab provides the following basic parameters

for programming the reverb.

Reverb Time

Reverb time determines the length of decay, or tail,

of the reverb. This is a global setting for the reverb

processor. You can further reﬁne the tails by

independently setting the reverb time of three

separate frequency bands, as discussed below in

the Reverb Design section.

PreDelay

PreDelay is the amount of time before you hear the

very ﬁrst reﬂections. If you are in a large room, it

takes a while before the ﬁrst reﬂections return.

PreDelay is useful for clarifying the original sound.

For example, with vocals, the reﬂections won’t start

until after the initial sound of a word has been

sung.

Shelf Filter

The Shelf Filter is a low-pass ﬁlter that controls the

high frequency characteristics of the overall effect.

Frequency sets the cutoff frequency for the ﬁlter

and Cut sets the amount of signal attenuation

applied by the ﬁlter.

Early reﬂections

Initial reﬂections give a space its unique sound.

The shape of the room, the angles of the walls, even

furniture in the room will produce a series of Initial

Reﬂections. Think of the early reﬂections and

room type as the “ﬂavor” of the reverb. You can

choose between several types of rooms. These are

acoustic models for simulating these different

types of spaces. The Size and Level parameters let

you control the size of the room and the strength of

the initial reﬂections.

☛ Here’s a tip: try using initial reﬂections

without any subsequent reverb (turn the reverb

time down as far as it will go). You’ll hear

interesting and unusual effects.

Reverb design

The Reverb Design section allows you to

independently control the reverb time for three

separate frequency bands (Low, Mid and High)

with adjustable cross-over points between them

(Low and High). The reverb time for each band is

speciﬁed in percent of the overall reverb time in the

Primary Controls section at the top of the tab.

You can edit these parameters graphically by

dragging the handles in the graphic display

(Figure 9-23).

Width does what its name implies: if you turn this

control all the way up, the result is maximum stereo

imaging. A position of 12 o’clock produces

essentially a mono image. Turning the control all

the way down completely swaps the stereo image.

THE MONITOR GROUP

The monitor group is a set of 896mk3 outputs that

can be controlled with the master Monitor Level

knob in upper right corner of the CueMix FX

mixer window (Figure 9-24), as well as the

MASTER VOL knob on the 896mk3 front panel.
