Question about headphone mixes please

Nuendo

Hi everyone.

So I had a thought yesterday and haven’t had an opportunity to try this, but I wanted to get your opinion.

Is it possible, while recording live with a jazz trio, to lower an instrument (like a bass drum) so it’s lowered in the headphone mixes? I haven’t had an opportunity to do this just yet but it’s my thought that this IS possible and would not have any effect on the incoming signals and when mixed, can be put where it needs to lie.

Thank you in advance all.

If EQing isn´t option, I think you would need to create specific channel for it and route it through it..

You should be mixing through Control Room and utilising Cue Channel’s to do this.

This would give you the ability to set up a cue mix where you decide what you want to hear and at what volume that is seperated from the actual mix that would get rendered.

The classic vocalist trick, where a vocalist will ask a producer to give them a cue mix, so while they sing, they can hear a super reverb drenched version of there voice and maybe the drums but not all the music, but the producer just hears the actual mix not the vocalists cue mix in there headphones.

Thanks for the replies and advice.

I am not setup using the Control Room or using Cue Channel’s.
I have an older setup using MOTU’s 24 I/0 and the Behringer Powerplay 16 for my headphone mixes.

Thanks.

What @7am3s_UK said: What you want is the exact definition of cue sends.
It’s quite easy to set up the Control Room in Cubendo and assign three cue channels with individual mixes. You can save your current setup as a preset and go back to it if that’s what you want. But once you have wrapped your head around the concept of Control Room and all its possibilities you will see that it’s a most helpful feature.

There are numerous tutorials on Youtube about setting up the Control Room, it shouldn’t take long. But you do you :slight_smile:

Ok. I appreciate both posts foe what you’re saying. Not making excuses but I’m 74 and learning something like this isn’t easy.

Would you happen to have any tutorials, vids, anything instructive as to how ro get a basic concept foe doing this?

Thanks to you both.

Hi,

here you go, Chris Selim is always a safe bank when it comes to explaining Cubendo features.
This one is about cue mixes on headphones and he starts from scratch by showing how to set up the control room, first:

74 is the new 30 - go for it, you’ll do just fine! :+1:

Hey Reco29,

Much appreciated for the link to the video…Not sure about the new 30…My bones would definitely disagree… But my attitude is right there with you.

Much appreciated to you and everyone else. Great help as always.
