CUEMIX FX 32-BIT FLOATING POINT
MIXING AND EFFECTS
All 896mk3 inputs and outputs can be routed to the
on-board CueMix FX 16-bus (8 stereo) digital
mixer driven by hardware-based DSP with 32-bit
floating point precision. The mixer allows you to
apply no-latency effects processing to inputs,
outputs or busses directly in the 896mk3 hardware,
independent of the computer. Effects can even be
applied when the 896mk3 is operating stand-alone
(without a computer) as a complete rack-mounted
mixer. Input signals to the computer can be
recorded wet, dry, or dry with a wet monitor mix
(for musicians during recording, for example).
Effects include reverb, parametric EQ and
compression/limiting. The 896mk3’s Classic
Reverb™ provides five different room types, three
frequency bands with adjustable crossover points,
shelf filtering and reverb lengths up to 60-seconds.
Two forms of compression are supplied: a standard
compressor with conventional threshold/ratio/
attack/release/gain controls and the Leveler™, an
accurate model of the legendary LA-2A optical
compressor, which provides vintage, musical
automatic gain control.
CueMix FX also provides 7-band parametric EQ
modeled after British analog console EQs,
featuring 4 filter styles (gain/Q profiles) to
effectively cover a wide range of audio material.
Low-pass and high-pass filters are also supplied
with slopes that range from 6 to 36 dB. The EQ
employs extremely high precision 64-bit floating
point processing.
The 838mk3’s flexible effects architecture allows
you to apply EQ and compression on every input
and output (a total of 58 channels), with enough
DSP resources for at least one band of parametric
EQ and compression on every channel at 48 kHz.
However, DSP resources are allocated dynamically
and a DSP meter in the CueMix FX software allows
you to keep tabs on the 896mk3’s processing
resources. Each input, output and mix bus
provides a send to the Classic Reverb processor,
which then feeds reverb returns to mix busses and
outputs, with a selectable split point between them
to prevent send/return feedback loops.
AUDIODESK
AudioDesk is a full-featured, 24-bit audio
workstation software package included with the
896mk3 system (for Mac only). AudioDesk
provides multi-channel waveform editing,
automated virtual mixing, graphic editing of ramp
automation, real-time effects plug-ins with 32-bit
floating point processing, crossfades, support for
many third-party audio plug-ins, background
processing of file-based operations, sample-
accurate editing and placement of audio, and more.
DIGITAL PERFORMER
The 896mk3 system is fully integrated with
MOTU’s award-winning Digital Performer audio
sequencer software package.
OTHER HOST AUDIO SOFTWARE
The 896mk3 system includes a standard Mac OS X
CoreAudio driver for multichannel I/O with any
audio application that supports CoreAudio.
