 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 Tube Inputs
Cue mixes are normally used in a recording situation in which one or more live
inputs need to be monitored. The FireStudio Tube features an internal hardware
mixer that provides zero-latency monitoring via the device window in the
Universal Control. While this mixer is easy to use, Studio One makes it even
easier by allowing you to control the mixer from within the software. Using this
feature only involves clicking just this one button.
You will notice that when Studio One Artist launches, the Device button on their Universal Control Launch
window reads “Studio One has control.” Any routing that you would normally do in your Device window, you
can do in Studio One via the cue mix. For more information on Universal Control and the 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.
The Main Output as a Cue Mix
It is possible to designate the main output in Audio I/O Setup as a cue mix. This is helpful if you often record
yourself and require quick access to zero-latency monitoring for live inputs. When the main output is
designated as a cue mix, a Zero Latency button will appear on any audio channel with an assigned audio
input in the Console, below the Mute, Solo, Record, and Monitor buttons.
