Viewing a mix
To view a mix, click its tab at the bottom of the
window, as shown in Figure 9-1. The mix name
appears in the tab.
Naming a mix
Double-click the mix name in the tab.
Master mute
The master mute button (Figure 9-1) temporarily
disables (silences) the mix.
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.
Adjusting master faders from the front panel
You can adjust the master fader level for each mix
using the MONITOR LEVEL knob on the 896HD
front panel. When you turn it, the analog input
meters (channels 1-4) temporarily display the
current volume setting for each mix. A few seconds
after you stop turning (or pushing) the knob, the
meters revert back to displaying analog input
levels.
The MONITOR LEVEL knob controls each
CueMix master fader as follows:
When using the MONITOR LEVEL knob to view
and modify the CueMix master fader levels, the
8-channel bank of programmable meters (to the
right of the analog input meters) displays the
output level for each mix bus as follows:
Output level meters
The OUT level meters show you the output for the
mix’s physical output, which may include audio
from your host audio software. The clip indicators
clear themselves after a few seconds.
Input section
The channel strips to the left of the master fader
represent each input in your 896HD. Use the input
scroll bar to view additional inputs.
Input mute/solo
To add an input to a mix, or remove it, click its
MUTE button. To solo it, use its SOLO button. To
toggle these buttons for a stereo pair, hold down
the control key while clicking either channel. The
Solo indicator LED (Figure 9-1) lights up when any
input is soloed (including inputs that may
currently be scrolled off-screen).
Input volume and pan
Use the input fader and pan knob (Figure 9-1) to
adjust these settings for the input in the mix. Again,
all settings within the gray-shaded channel strip
area belong to the mix currently being viewed.
Note that an input can have different settings in
different mixes.
To adjust the volume or panning for a stereo input
pair, hold down the control key while dragging the
fader or knob for either the left or right input.

four CueMix busses.

“over” LED at the top of the meter.)
