Figure 10-30: Typical hardware setup for Talkback and Listenback.
Talkback / Listenback Mic Input
To configure the talkback mic in CueMix FX, go to
the Inputs tab (Figure 10-3 on page 66) and click
the Focus button for the input that the talkback mic
is connected to. Click the Channel tab (Figure 10-8
on page 70) and enable the Ta lk button.
Repeat this procedure for the Listenback mic,
except click the Listen button in the Channel tab.
Talk / Listen output
To configure the talkback and listen back outputs,
go to the Outputs tab (Figure 10-6 on page 69) and
enable the Ta lk button for any output pair on which
you’d like to hear the talkback mic. Similarly,
enable the Listen button for any output pair on
which you’d like to hear the listenback mic.
Talkback / Listenback Monitor Dim
Use the knobs next to the Talk and Listen buttons
(Figure 10-31) to determine the amount of
attenuation you would like to apply to all other
audio signals (besides the talkback/listenback
signal) when Talkback and/or Listenback is
engaged. To completely silence all other CueMix
audio, turn them all the way down. attenuation
only occurs when talkback or listenback is
engaged. Audio playing back from disk (your host
software) is not affected.
Figure 10-31: The Talkback/Listenback controls.
Engaging/disengaging Talkback and
Listenback
To engage Talk back or Listenback, press on the
Talk or Listen buttons (Figure 10-31) and then
release to disengage. Talkback and/or Listenback is
engaged for as long as you hold down the mouse
button. Alt-click to make the buttons “sticky” (stay
engaged until you click them again — so you don’t
have to hold down the mouse). Or use the Talkback
menu items.
If you would like to engage both Talkback and
Listenback at the same time, enable the Link button
(Figure 10-31).
Controlling Talkback and Listenback volume
To control the volume of the Talkback and/or
Listenback mics, adjust their input trim in CueMix
FX.
