MESSAGE CENTER
The Message Center displays fly-over help for items
in the CueMix Console window. It also displays
messages regarding the overall operation of the
896HD.
FILE MENU
The CueMix Console File menu has the following
items.
Save Preset / Load Preset
The 896HD can store up to 16 presets in its on-
board memory. A preset includes of all CueMix
DSP settings for all for mix busses, but it excludes
global settings like clock source and sample rate.
The Load Preset and Save Preset commands in the
CueMix Console file menu let you name, save and
load presets in the 896HD hardware.
Save / Load
The Save and Load commands in the CueMix
Console File menu allow you to save 896HD
presets to and from your hard drive. This allows
you to save an unlimited number of 896HD presets
on disk. (Use the Load Preset and Save Preset
commands to get presets from — and save them to
— the 896HD itself.) Choose Save to save the
current configuration; choose Load to open an
existing configuration that you have previously
saved to disk.
Edit Channel Names
The Edit Channel Names command in the File
menu lets you change generic 896HD input and
output names (e.g. “Analog 1”, “Analog 2”, etc.) to
more descriptive names like “snare mic” and
“reverb return”. This menu command provides
access to the same channel naming window as the
Edit Channel Names button in the MOTU FireWire
Console window General tab. For complete details
about naming channels, see “Edit Channel Names”
on page 43.
Mix1 Return Includes Computer
The Mix1 return includes computer item in the
CueMix Console File menu refers to the Mix1 bus
that the 896HD driver provides as an input to host
audio software. This input source delivers the
output of CueMix DSP “MIX1” (the first mix bus of
the four on-board no-latency monitor mixes in the
896HD) back to your computer. This input serves,
for example, as a convenient way for you to record
the 896HD’s MIX1 monitor mix back into your
host audio software (for reference and archiving
purposes).
When the Mix1 return includes computer menu
item is checked, any audio being sent from your
audio software on the computer to the same output
as Mix1 will be included in the Mix1 return bus.
When it is uchecked, computer output is excluded.
