CUEMIX FX

Mix master fader

The master fader (Figure 9-1) 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.

Mix mute

The master mute button (next to the master fader)

(Figure 9-1) temporarily disables (silences) the

currently displayed mix.

Mix level meter

The level meters (next to the master fader) 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 channels

The channel strips to the left of the master fader

represent each input in your 8pre. Use the input

scroll bar to view additional inputs. Double-click

an input name to rename it.

Preamp gain

All 8pre USB analog inputs provide individual,

digitally controlled preamp gain (trim). There is

48 dB of preamp gain for the mic input and 39 dB

for the quarter-inch instrument input.

Once you adjust the trim levels, you can save them

as a ﬁle on disk for future instant recall. See “Saving

and loading hardware presets” on page 52 and

“Conﬁgurations menu” on page 69.

Pad and 48V phantom power

The -20 dB Pad and 48V phantom power settings

are the same as the controls on the front panel. If

you change the setting in the software, the front

panel reﬂects the change as well, and vice versa.

There are separate settings for each mic input.

Invert phase (ø)

Click the Phase button (Figure 9-1) to invert the

phase of the input signal. For stereo pairs, you can

invert the phase for the left and right channels

independently: click the phase button (ø)

repeatedly to cycle among two states for mono

channels (on or off) and four states for stereo

grouped channels (no inversion, left only, both, or

right only).

Mono/stereo pairing

Click the Mono button (Figure 9-1) if you would

like an input to be treated as a mono channel. If you

would like to work with it as one channel of a

linked stereo pair, click the Stereo button. Inputs

are grouped in odd/even pairs (mic 1-2, Analog

1-2, 3-4, etc.) Stereo pairs appear as a single

channel strip in the CueMix FX mixer.

Input name

The input name appears just below the mono/

stereo buttons. This name also appears in host

audio software on the computer (if the software

supports channel names).

Input scroll bar

Use the input scroll bar to view additional inputs

when the window is too narrow to display them all

at once.

Mix-speciﬁc settings

All input settings below the input scroll bar (input

volume, pan, mute and solo) are bound to the

currently displayed mix (chosen from the Mix

menu). Each input can have different volume, pan,

mute and solo settings in the four different mixes.

Input pan

The input pan knob (Figure 9-1) pans the input

across the bus stereo outputs. All input pan settings

belong to the mix currently being viewed.

If the input itself is grouped as a stereo pair), two

forms of panning control are provided:

1 2 ... 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 ... 79 80
