Roland U-8
Using the U-8 Mixer
You can control the U-8 Mixer from the U-8 module. To open the U-8
Mixer window, press U-8Õs Mixer button. To close it, press UÕ8Õs Exit
button. The U-8 Mixer is also called the U-8 Controller. The basic way
that you use the Mixer is to move the U-8 moduleÕs Cursor buttons until
the blue frame encloses the control or button you want to use, and then
use U-8Õs Effects/Mixer Control knobs and/or the U-8 Enter button to
choose values for the framed control.
When Cakewalk is open, the U-8 Mixer and Effect window do not
respond to commands from the U-8 module unless the Roland U-8
StudioWare panel is open. If you don't see the StudioWare panel open,
7. On the next Effect Selection page (which does not appear if you
chose No Effect on the previous page), scroll through the list of
effects with the Time/Value wheel. All System Effects in the list
are labeled with the (sys) suffix. When you find the effect you
want, select it by pressing U-8’s Enter button.
Press the Next/Marker button to move to the next page.
8. Press the Next/Marker button to close the Mixdown Wizard.
9. Do one of the following:
• If you’re mixing down to a track, press U-8’s Record button.
• If you’re mixing down to an external device, press U-8’s Play
button.
Cakewalk begins to play.
10. Move any U-8 Track Volume faders you need to move during
mixdown.
11. Press the Stop button to stop recording.
12. To verify your mix, rewind and then solo the track you mixed
down to. When you play the track, you should hear the complete
mix of all the tracks you mixed down.
Listen to your mix and mix again, if necessary. You can change the
record mode from Sound-on Sound to Overwrite or vice versa by using
Cakewalk’s
Realtime-Record Options
command.
Note: If you apply a System Effect during mixdown, it stays applied
even when you finish mixing. To turn it off, open the Mixer and
deselect the System button.
