How do I use an external effects processor with CueMix?

Cuemix DSP allows for the routing of any input to any output. This allows for easy integration of outboard effects. For instance, here is one way of utilizing Cuemix DSP technology with a reverb unit:

  • Set your effects unit to have a 100% wetness/saturation.
  • Take your effects unit and plug the output/send of the unit into an unused input, say, Analog 8 (Analog 7/8 if it has a stereo output).
  • Pick an unused output on your MOTU interface, say, Analog 8, and plug it into the input/return of your effects unit.
  • In Cuemix Console, create a bus that outputs out of Analog 7/8.
  • Any input channel whose fader is up will output out of Analog 7 and 8.
  • Be sure to hard pan your channel to the far right to have the maximum signal output.
  • Analog 8 (or 7/8) will now have your wet signal.
  • If you wish to record this, remember to record both your dry signal as well as your wet signal and blend both to get the balance of fundamental and ambience that you desire.
