Each input, output and mix bus provides a send to
the Classic Reverb processor, which then feeds
reverb returns to mix busses and outputs, with a
selectable split point between them to prevent
send/return feedback loops.
ADVANTAGES OVER HOST-BASED MIXING
AND PROCESSING
CueMix FX provides several major advantages over
mixing and processing in your host audio software:
■
CueMix has no buffer latency. Thanks to the
UltraLite-mk3’s DSP chip, CueMix provides the
same throughput performance as a digital mixer.
■ CueMix mixing and effects processing imposes
no processor drain on the computer’s CPU.
■ CueMix routing can be maintained
independently of individual software applications
or projects.
■
CueMix routing can operate without the
computer, allowing the UltraLite-mk3 to operate as
a portable, stand-alone mixer with effects.
CUEMIX FX INSTALLATION
CueMix FX is installed with the rest of your
UltraLite-mk3 software.
