UR28m source select & MixES explanation needed. Please Help

Steinberg Hardware UR Series
1

Hi,
I have the UR28m and I am using Cubase 10 pro, OS Win 10 pro.
I like the UR28m but do not understand how to use the source select and the mixes A, B, C
I have got a complete mental block with these and what they are used for, or the different things you can use them for.
The manual is horrible in explaining them.
Could someone please take the tyime to explain them for me. I would greatly appreciate it.
tHANK YOU

You can have 3 different mixes and assign them into Mix 1 , 2, 3 to compare them. Do an A/B/C to check which one sounds better for example.
The Output A B C is used to connect different set of speakers and you can select which will be playing. It is nice if you have a pair of big speakers on A and a pair of smaller speakers on B and check how your mix translates between the two pairs. Pretty cool !.

How do you assign them? I’m sorry, I really don’t have any business owning this unit. I’m completely green when it comes to recording . I have Cubase 10 pro, the UR28M, and a computer built from scratch for great audio production. But engineering is fricking hard! Even with great equiptment. Probably harder because its more sophisticated.

click on mix 1, set everything as you like it, then click mix 2 and set that as you want it. Nothing more to it than that:)

When you say set everything as i want it do you mean the controls of the UR28M, the controls of the dspmixfx mixer, all the controls I have in cubase 12, or all of them??

Hey, sorry for being less than clear: In DspMixFx, click on the mix you want to adjust, then adjust and it is done:)

Or, as Luis_che says, you can assign three different mixes from Cubase.

ok I did that and when i click back to mix 1 from mix2 nothing that I set was saved. in other words the controls just stayed what i had set them to for mix 2. arent your settings saved for each mix?

Yes, it should save automatically.
So, you first choose the mix you want to adjust, then do the adjustments. When all is as you wish, switch to another mix and do what you will with that mix.
only thing is, be careful not to drag and drop, cause if you drag from mix 2 to mix 2 the settings will be copied.

Hi @toddean ,

@BriHar has helped a lot of folks, including me, with understanding the UR28M in the past. This post of his (below) may be helpful:
