It completely eliminates the patch thru
delay (reducing it to a small number of
samples — about the same amount as
one of today’s advanced digital mixers).

CueMix FX imposes no strain on the
computer.
The trade-off, however, is that
CueMix FX bypasses your host audio
software. Instead, live audio inputs are
patched directly through to outputs in
the MicroBook itself and are mixed with
disk tracks playing back from your audio
software. This means that you cannot
apply host-based plug-ins, mix
automation, or other real-time effects
that your audio software provides. But for
inputs that don’t need these types of
features, CueMix FX is the way to go.
On the other hand, if you really need to
use the mixing and processing provided
by your audio software, you should not
use CueMix FX. Instead, reduce latency
with the buffer setting (as explained
earlier in this chapter).
Using CueMix FX
The CueMix FX software manages your
monitor mix and runs side-by-side with
your host audio software.
CueMix FX allows you to create up to
four separate MicroBook stereo mixes, or
any other desired routing configurations.
These routings are independent of your
host audio software. For complete details,
see chapter 7, “CueMix FX” (page 39).
