How can I use CueFX to setup seperate mix for monitoring
Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2012 3:40 pm
I have an 828mk3
I normally don't use CueMix at all. The 828 is controlled from a MaxMSP environment that I've developed over the last year.
My hardware synths are connected to 4 inputs on the back and I'm using MainOut to go to the main system. Basically, my Max environment is setup to send everything out on outputs 9/10. Works great.
Now I have a new situation where I will be in a live environment with others and I will be using an in-ear monitoring system. What I need to do is send a stereo feed from my system to the FOH mixer (so that will be my outputs 9/10).
The FOH will send me back a stereo feed that will have all the other instruments but NOT my keyboards. I would then like to merge my keyboards with that monitor feed and send that new mix to an audio transmitter.
Now, I understand that I can either mirror 9/10 on some other output pair (actually mirror some other output pair to 9/10) or I can just have Max route my output to both 9/10 and some other output pair (3/4, say).
I can receive the monitor mix in to inputs 1/2 (say).
So now the question is how do I merge that input with the other output pair and send them to my transmitter.
The way I would typically do this would be to setup a routing in Max that just merges 1/2 with my original output (that I send to 9/10) and throw that out to the 3/4 pair (in which case I wouldn't need to do the mirroring).
I'm concerned about the latency that would be introduced by this (I'm running with 256 sample buffer unfortunately) and so wondering how I could instead use CueMix to do zero latency monitoring but without interfering with the existing Max routing to 9/10
I would appreciate any insights. If the solver is in the NYC area, I'll even give them a free ticket to the show!
Thanks in advance.
