WORKING WITH A MIX
Each mix has the following components:
■ A stereo output with master fader
■ Name
■ Master mute (to enable/disable the entire mix)
■ Any number of mono or stereo inputs
■ Pan, volume, mute and solo for each input
Viewing a mix
To view a mix, choose it from the Mix menu
(Figure 9-1). The menu shows all mixes by name,
followed by the audio interface’s output pair that it
corresponds to.
Naming a mix
Click the mix name to edit its text.
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 mix mute button (Figure 9-1) disables
(silences) the mix.
Mix level meter
The mix level meter, which is post-fader, shows you
the output for the mix’s output.
Input channels
The Inputs section (Figure 9-1) gives you access to
individual 4pre inputs (or input pairs). Unmute the
input and bring up its fader to hear the input on the
current mix’s output. Mute, solo, and pan are also
provided for each input channel.
Input trim
All 4pre inputs, both analog and digital, offer
continuously variable input trim. In all cases, trim
level can be controlled digitally in approximately 1
dB increments. This includes the digitally
controlled analog trims on the four analog inputs.
Here is a summary of input trim ranges for each
type of 4pre 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 56 and
“Configurations menu” on page 72.
Pad and phantom
The Pad and phantom settings are the same 20 dB
pad and 48V phantom power settings that you can
also control from the 4pre front panel encoders.
There are separate settings for each mic input.
Invert phase
The Phase button (Figure 9-1) inverts the phase of
the input signal. For stereo pairs, you can invert the
phase for the left and right channels independently.
For the mic/instrument/line channels, 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/instrument
1-2, Mic/Line 1-2, etc.) Stereo pairs appear as a
single channel strip in the CueMix FX mixer.
