Here is a summary of Configurations menu 
operations:
Modifying a configuration
The name of the current configuration is displayed 
in the CueMix FX window title bar. If you make any 
changes to the settings in CueMix FX, an asterisk 
appears in front of the name to remind you that the 
current state of CueMix FX doesn’t match the saved 
configuration. If you wish to update the saved 
configuration with the new changes, use the Save 
command. To save the current state of CueMix FX 
to another configuration, use Save To. To save as a 
new, separate configuration, use Create New.
Saving a CueMix FX configuration as a 
hardware preset
To save a CueMix FX configuration as a hardware 
preset:
1 Choose the configuration from the 
Configurations menu to make it the current active 
configuration.
2 Choose File menu> Save Hardware Preset.
3 Type in a name, choose a preset slot and click 
OK.
Saving a hardware preset as a CueMix FX 
configuration
To save a hardware preset as a CueMix FX configu-
ration:

Save To) to save it as a configuration.
TALKBACK MENU
Choose the commands in the Talkback menu to 
engage or disengage Talkback or Listenback.
PHONES MENU
The Phones menu allows you to choose what you 
will hear on the headphone output, just like the 
Phones setting in MOTU Audio Console. However, 
this menu provides one extra option that is 
exclusive to CueMix FX: Follow Active Mix. This 
menu item, when checked, causes the headphone 
output to mirror the output of the current mix 
being viewed in CueMix FX. For example, if you 
are currently viewing mix bus 3, the headphones 
will mirror the mix bus 3 output (whatever it is 
assigned to).
CONTROL SURFACES MENU
CueMix FX can be controlled from an automated 
control surface such as the Mackie Control™. Use 
the commands in the Control Surfaces menu to 
enable and configure this feature.
Application follows control surface
When checked, the Application follows control 
surface menu command makes the CueMix FX 
window scroll to the channel you are currently 
adjusting with the control surface, if the channel is 
not visible when you begin adjusting it. The same is 
true for the bus tabs: if you adjust a control in a bus
