10 CueMix FX
OVERVIEW
CueMix FX is a cross-platform software
application that provides graphic, on-screen
control for the Audio Expresss mixing features.
Essentially, it gives you on-screen control of the
Audio Expresss front panel mixing controls.
CueMix FX also provides many advanced audio
analysis tools, including a tuner and oscilloscope.
CueMix FX can be used independently of host
audio software, or together with it. CueMix
dovetails with the direct monitoring features of
your host audio software, allowing you to
seemlessly mix in both environments.

ADVANTAGES OVER HOST-BASED MIXING
AND PROCESSING
CueMix FX provides several advantages over
mixing and processing in your host audio software:
CueMix has no buffer latency. Thanks to the
Audio Expresss DSP chip, CueMix provides the
same throughput performance as a digital mixer.
CueMix routing can be maintained
independently of individual software applications
or projects.
CueMix routing can operate without the
computer, allowing the Audio Express to operate as
a portable, stand-alone mixer.
CUEMIX FX INSTALLATION
CueMix FX is installed as a standard application by
the Audio Express setup software.
CUEMIX FX BASIC OPERATION
The CueMix FX application is simple to operate,
once you know these basic concepts.
A separate mix for each output pair
As explained in “Mixing with the front panel
controls on page 32, the Audio Express provides a
separate mix for each of its four output pairs, as
follows:
Mix name Physical output
Mix 1 Main Out 1-2
Mix 2 Analog 1-2
Mix 3 S/PDIF 1-2
Mix 4 Phones 1-2
