Many inputs to one output pair
It might be useful to think of each mix as some
number of inputs all mixed down to a stereo output
pair. CueMix FX lets you choose which inputs to
include in the mix, and it lets you specify the level
and pan for each input being fed into the mix.
Viewing one mix at a time
CueMix FX displays one mix at a time. To select
which mix you are viewing, choose it from the mix
menu (Figure 9-1). Click the mix name to change
it. The mix output pair appears above the mix
master fader (Figure 9-1).
Each mix is independent
Each mix has its own settings. Settings for one mix
will not affect another. For example, if an input is
used for one mix, it will still be available for other
mixes. In addition, inputs can have a different
volume, pan, mute and solo setting for each mix.
Widening the CueMix FX window
To view more input faders at once, drag the grow
box (Figure 9-1) to the right.
Figure 9-1: CueMix FX is a virtual mixer that gives you control over the 4pre’s on-board mixing features.
