Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Console Overview 54
Sends Overview
Apollo has a maximum of seven stereo mix buses (five with Apollo Twin) that are
configured and adjusted within Console.
The stereo buses are used for the monitor, auxiliary, and cue mixes. Each Apollo input
has independent level, pan, and mute controls for each of the stereo mix buses.
Stereo Mix Buses
In addition to the main monitor mix, the following stereo mix buses are available:
Auxiliary
The two aux buses are typically used for shared effect processing (to reduce UAD
resource usage) for realtime monitoring with time-based effects such as reverb and/or
delay. The aux mixes are adjusted via each input’s two aux send controls.
By default, the aux sends are post-fader and post-mute. The aux sends can be switched
to be pre-fader and pre-mute. The Aux Pre / Aux Post function switch for each aux is
located in its respective auxiliary bus return strip.
Cues
The cue buses are for creating mixes that are different from the main monitor mix. Cues
are typically used for performers that want to hear a headphone mix that is different from
the main monitor mix, or for routing individual channels or mixes to other equipment.
The cue mixes are adjusted via the cue sends on each input and aux strip. All cue sends
are pre-fader and pre-mute so they are not affected by adjustments to the main monitor
mix.
Note: By default, two cues are displayed in Console (four with Apollo 16). Up to
four cues are available with Apollo by increasing the Cue Bus Count in the Hard-
ware panel within the Console Settings window.
Mix Bus Returns
The stereo mix bus returns are used to route the mix to available outputs.
Auxiliary
The aux mixes are routed to the aux return strips. Cue sends are available on the aux
returns for routing aux effects to the cue mix buses.
See Aux Returns for details.
Cues
The cue mixes are heard via the selections in the monitor controls section. Cues are
routed to available Apollo outputs via a matrix in the Cue Outputs window. The Monitor
outputs can be switched to output any cue mix instead of the monitor mix.
For cue return details, see Cue Outputs Popover.
