Question regarding Cuemix FX routing?

Post by mandobilly64 »

Hey all,
Ive been reading the manual about the Cuemix FX routing capabilities and while it says that you have a choice between routing the signals, dry, wet or wet/dry, for monitoring/recording. However, I am not sure I see how this can be done, for instance if I want to eq or compress individual channels but only on the monitor mixes and not what is going into Cubase, how is this done? All I can see is that Ican eq/compress the whole monitor or output buss but from what I have read in the manual it's state that eq and compression applied to the input tabs affects what is being recorded, which is cool and I can pick and choose what to do but it sort of contradicts the theory that I can listen wet and record dry.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Billy

"bump"

No one here knows the answer to this question?
I guess I'll have to write tech support.

Peace,

The routing limitations of Cuemix FX have been the subject of many posts...

The only way I know to process individual channels only for monitoring and not for recording is to use the ADAT ports in a loopback configuration. This allows to setup the analog inputs channels for recording, then use several mixes to send them individually to ADAT output which are then looped back into ADAT input. The ADAT inputs can then be processed as you like for monitoring purposes before being sent to a final mix towards the monitoring output.

Search the forum for the words ADAT and loopback and you should find many more threads on this.

This won't help if I'm using my ADAT inputs for recording though, will it?

Oh well,

Nope...this sounds like a nice feature request: the capability to send any input channel to the computer either pre / post processing, selectable per input channel. Similar to a mixer capability for aux sends pre/post EQ / fader.

And also we need to be able to send a computer output channel to several mixes easily without using the loopback trick.

Perhaps if many people requests it... common MOTU we need more routing flexibility!!
