Step 7: Set Cue Mix.

  • Check the little box next to where you setup Headphones,  in the "Cue Mix" column.

PLEASE NOTE: A "Cue Mix", is a separate output bus in addition to the Main Mix bus.  It is usually provided to musicians for monitoring purposes during recording. In this case we are assigning the headphone outputs (7 and 8) to listen to all channels independently of the Main Output. 

  • Click "OK" when done to be taken back to the Arrange Window

All Channels now monitor to the "Headphone Outputs".

 

You'll see above each channel, an independent level adjustment for each Cue Mix.  You can tailor your mix to your needs. 

 

Keep in mind that any changes to the Main Output are not reflected in the Cue Mix, they are independant of each other.

 

You will still want to mix your Mains using the Mains Output fader in the Console and the Main Volume Knob on your AudioBox to control the level going to your speakers. 

 

PLEASE NOTE:  Cue Mixes are unique to each song that you create.  You will still need to set this up for each song you create. 

 

PRO TIP:  You can however create a Song Template that opens every time.  We suggest creating a blank Song Template, and using that to load from each time you start a new Song.
