Digidesign Control 24 Manuale Utente

Setting Up Cue Mixes 

The Control|24 AUX OUT outputs can be con-
nected to your cue mix system to provide a 
headphone mix. The Talkback and Listenback 
signals are always routed to these outputs. 

To set up your cue mix, you can either engage 
the MONITOR TO AUX switch in the COMMU-
NICATIONS/HEADPHONE section to send your 
main stereo mix to the AUX OUT outputs, or use 
sends to create a special cue mix. 

Control Room to Cue Mix

To feed the cue mix the Main Pro Tools (Control 
Room) Monitor Mix:

1  

Make sure your cue mix system is connected 

to the Control|24 AUX OUT outputs. 

2  

Press MONITOR TO AUX. 

3  

Use the AUX LEVEL knob to adjust cue mix 

level.

Discrete Cue Mix

To create a discrete stereo cue mix with Pro  Tools 
Sends:

1  

Connect a pair of Pro Tools outputs to the 

Control|24 AUX IN inputs.

2  

Make sure your cue mix system is connected 

to the Control|24 AUX OUT outputs.

3  

Assign a pre-fader stereo send on each channel 

and Aux Input needed for the cue mix (using 
pre-fader sends enables you maintain a cue mix 
independent of your main monitoring mix).

4  

Assign the send outputs to the output pair 

patched to the Control|24 AUX IN buss. 

Once your mix is set up pre-fader, you can copy 
your current (main) fader mix to your newly-
created, independent, stereo cue mix.

To copy track levels to send level:

1  

While pressing APPLY TO ALL CHANNELS or 

OPT(ALT)/ALL, press any channel SELECT 
switch. All select switches on all channels light. 

2  

With your mouse, choose Copy To Sends from 

the Pro Tools Edit Menu. A dialog will appear 
asking if you wish to copy all fader data (includ-
ing automation, mutes, etc.), or just levels. 

3  

Choose levels only (the default), and choose 

your new stereo cue send as the target in the 
pop-up menu at the bottom of the dialog. Press 
ENTER on the Control|24 numeric keypad to 
confirm. 

4  

Press PLAY, and adjust the send levels as 

needed for your cue mix. The AUX LEVEL knob 
controls overall cue mix volume. Because the 
cue sends are pre-fader, any soloing or muting 
tasks that you perform in the control room will 
not be heard in the cue mix.

For more control over the cue mix, in addition 
to the Aux level master control, create a stereo 
master fader for overall level control of the aux-
iliary buss.

Flip mode is very useful for setting up send/cue 
mix levels, as it enables you control send levels 
from the Control|24 touch-sensitive faders. For 
more information, see “Using Flip Mode with 
Sends” on page 106.
