 Horizontal Level Fader Sets the Volume of the Channel for the Cue Mix
By default this level will be identical to the level set on the channel’s fader. Once
you move the Cue Mix level fader, the volume of that channel in the Cue Mix will
be independent of the main mix or any other Cue Mix in the session.
 Horizontal Pan Fader Sets the Pan Position of the Channel for the Cue Mix
By default, the pan position will be identical to the position set in the main mix.
Once you change the pan position in the Cue Mix, the panning for that channel
will be independent of the main mix or any other Cue Mix in the session.
 Lock to Channel Button
Locks the Volume and Panning in the Cue Mix Object to the Levels Set in the
Main Mix
By default, the Lock to Channel button is enabled, and level and pan values are
locked to the Channel level and pan faders. This means that each cue mix will be
identical to the main mix in the Console. Changing the level or panning in the
main mix will change the level or panning in the cue mix. However, changing the
level or panning in the Cue Mix object will unlock both settings, allowing
independent control of level and panning for each channel in each cue mix. Thus,
the level and panning for channels in a cue mix can be completely different from
the related level and pan in the main mix. At any time, you can lock the cue-mix
level and pan back to the channel settings by clicking on the Lock to Channel
button.
 Zero-Latency Switch Enables Zero-Latency Monitoring for FireStudio Inputs
Cue mixes are normally used in a recording situation in which one or more live
inputs need to be monitored. FireStudio interfaces feature internal hardware
mixers that provide zero-latency monitoring via the device window in the
Universal Control. While these mixers are easy to use, Studio One makes it even
easier by allowing you to control the mixers from within the software. Using this
feature only involves clicking just this one button.
You will notice that the FireStudio Device Window remains active while Studio One Artist is open. Because
of the powerful routing flexibility in the FireStudio Device window, FireStudio owners have the choice to use
either the FireStudio Device window or Studio One Artist’s Cue Mix feature to create their monitor mixes.
Please note: once Studio One Artist launches, DAW streams 1 through 18 will be patched to Outputs 1
through 18 on the Outputs/Router tab. If you make any changes to the FireStudio Outputs/Router tab while
Studio One Artist is open, and you want to use Cue Mix, you will need to repatch the DAW streams to their
respective outputs. For more information on Universal Control and the FireStudio device window, please
review Section 3.1. Because of FireWire streaming limitations, cue-mix zero-latency monitoring is not
available when daisy-chaining multiple FireStudio-family interfaces.
