Cue Master cont.
There are two external stereo inputs - DAW MIX and DAW FB
(foldback).
These two stereo inputs (found as rear panel line level XLR
inputs) are intended to be used to monitor either the mix output
of your DAW or a separate stereo foldback mix from your DAW.
This is useful as headphone mixes are entirely possible at low
latency with newer computers and low latency DSP devices.
As such your headphone mixes can be saved within your
session and even include effects for monitoring purposes.
ASP2802 provides the perfect hybrid platform as the control
surface layer can be used to balance these mixes in superfast
time and the
Dual Layer Technology allows you to seamlessly
flip between your DAW submixes and the analogue layer of
ASP2802.
Along with the two external DAW inputs (both of which are
also suitable for use as two-track returns) - the cue master
section offers the ability to send the output of the
AUX 1 and
AUX 2 master summing stages to the cue outputs.
This is useful if you are using the last option - C/RM (control
room) as your main cue mix. A scenario that may often be
encountered when you require that last absolutely essential
vocal overdub during the final stages of mixing.
If you are using all input channels including the alternative
cue input for mixdown, you may decide to send the artist your
control room balance. This can be achieved by engaging the
C/RM switch. In this case you may use an aux send on a
channel to send the artist more of themself without affecting
your control room balance.
To do this, just engage both the C/RM and whichever aux bus
you are using ( AUX1 or AUX2 ).
