AUDIO INPUT AND OUTPUT NAMES
The 8pre CoreAudio driver supplies text string
labels for its inputs and outputs to clearly identify
each one, but some applications do not display
these labels. For example, in Cubase SX, the 8pre
outputs are numbered like this:
Figure 9-8: Some applications number the 8pre inputs and outputs,
but don’t display which outputs they refer to.
Most programs will likely address this issue in
future updates. In the meantime, here is how you
can identify each input and output. Inputs are
always listed in the same order as follows:
Outputs are similarly listed in the same order as
follows:
As an example, ADAT output channels 1-2 will be
listed as channels 5-6.
The ‘Mix1’ input pair
The Mix1 input pair delivers the output of CueMix
DSP “MIX1” (the first mix bus of the four on-board
no-latency monitor mixes in the 8pre) back to your
computer. This input serves, for example, as a
convenient way for you to record the 8pre’s MIX1
monitor mix back into your host audio software
(for reference and archiving purposes). Further, if
you are sending audio from your host audio
software to the same output pair as MIX1, you can
choose to either include or exclude the audio from
the computer in the stream being sent back to the
computer. For details on how to do this, see “Mix1
Return Includes Computer” on page 55.
☛ Warning: the Mix1 1-2 input can cause
feedback loops! DO NOT assign this input to a
track that shares the same 8pre output pair as
MIX1.
