FILE MENU

Saving and loading hardware presets

The 896mk3 can store up to 16 presets in its on-
board memory. A preset includes of all CueMix FX 
settings for all for mix busses, but it excludes global 
settings like clock source and sample rate.

The Load Hardware Preset and Save Hardware 
Preset commands in the CueMix FX file menu let 
you name, save and load presets in the 896mk3.

Peak/hold time

In CueMix FX, a peak indicator is a line 
(representing a virtual LED) displayed in a level 
meter that indicates the maximum signal level 
registered by the meter. The 

Peak/hold time

 setting 

(File menu) determines how long this indicator 
remains visible before it disappears (or begins to 
drop). To disable peak/hold indicators altogether, 
choose Off from this sub-menu.

Mix1 Return Includes Computer

The 

Mix1 return includes computer

 File menu item 

applies to other MOTU interfaces products and has 
no effect on the 896mk3.

Show meter in dock icon

This CueMix FX File menu item applies to other 
MOTU interfaces and has no effect on the 896mk3.

EDIT MENU

Undo/Redo

CueMix FX supports multiple undo/redo. This 
allows you to step backwards and forwards 
through your actions in the software.

Copying & pasting (duplicating) entire mixes

To copy and paste the settings from one mix to 
another:

1

Select the source mix (Figure 11-1) and choose 

Copy from the Edit menu (or press command-C).

2

Choose the destination mix and choose Paste 

from the Edit menu (or press command-V).

Clear Peaks

Choose 

Clear Peaks

 from the Edit menu to clear all 

peak indicators in all CueMix FX meters.

DEVICES MENU

If you are working with more than one MOTU 
audio interface product, this menu displays all 
interfaces that are currently on line. Choose any 
device from the menu to edit its settings using the 
CueMix FX software.

CONFIGURATIONS MENU

A configuration is just like a hardware preset (a 
“snapshot” of all settings in CueMix FX and 
therefore the 896mk3 hardware itself), except that 
it can be created and managed using the CueMix 
FX software on your computer, completely 
independently of the 896mk3 hardware. The 
commands in the Configurations menu let you 
create, save, load, import, export and otherwise 
manage as many configurations as you wish.
