You can control monitoring either from the front panel or from the included CueMix FX software. The two front-panel guitar/mic inputs can be routed to outboard effects processors, such as a compressor, EQ or reverb, via the rear panel sends. Here is a typical 828mk3 studio setup. This rig can be operated without an external mixer.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 27 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM OPERATING THE 828mk3 AS A CONVERTER As explained earlier in “Using optical I/O to operate the 828mk3 as a 16-channel expander” on page 24, the 828mk3 can serve as a multi-channel analog-to-digital converter when disconnected from the computer and instead connected to another device equipped with an ADAT optical input.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 28 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM MAKING SYNC CONNECTIONS If you connect devices digitally to the 828mk3, or if you need to synchronize the 828mk3 with an outside time reference such as SMPTE timecode, you must pay careful attention to the synchronization connections and clock source issues discussed in the next few sections.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 29 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM SYNCING TO SMPTE TIMECODE Use this setup if you have: The 828mk3 system can resolve directly to SMPTE timecode. It can also generate timecode and word clock, under its own clock or while slaving to timecode. Therefore, the 828mk3 can act both as an audio interface and as a digital audio synchronizer to which you can slave other digital audio devices.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 30 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM SYNCING S/PDIF DEVICES S/PDIF devices will sync to the 828mk3 in one of two ways: ■ Via the S/PDIF connection itself ■ Via word clock S/PDIF devices with no word clock If your S/PDIF device has no word clock sync connectors, just connect it to the 828mk3 via the S/PDIF connectors. When the device records S/PDIF audio (from the 828mk3), it will simply synchronize to the clock provided by the audio input.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 31 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM SYNCING WORD CLOCK DEVICES The 828mk3 word clock connectors allow you to synchronize it with a wide variety of other word clock-equipped devices. For standard word clock sync, you need to choose an audio clock master (as explained in “Be sure to choose a digital audio clock master” on page 28). In the simplest case, you have two devices and one is the word clock master and the other is the slave as shown below in Figure 4-19 and Figure 4-20.

See chapter 9, “CueMix FX” (page 65) for complete details.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 59 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM CHAPTER 8 Reducing Monitoring Latency OVERVIEW Monitoring latency is that slight delay you hear when you run an input signal through your host audio software. For example, you might hear it when you drive a live guitar input signal through an amp modeling plug-in running in your audio sequencer.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 60 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM MONITORING LIVE INPUT There are two ways to monitor live audio input with an 828mk3: 1) through the computer or 2) via the 82mk3 CueMix FX hardware mixer. Figure 8-1 shows method 1, which allows you to apply hostbased effects processing via plug-ins in your audio software. See the next section, “Adjusting the audio I/O buffer” for details about how to reduce — and possibly eliminate — the audible monitoring delay that the computer introduces.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 61 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM ADJUSTING THE AUDIO I/O BUFFER A buffer is a small amount of computer memory used to hold data. For audio interfaces like the 828mk3, buffers are used for the process of transferring audio data in and out of the computer. The size of the buffers determines how much delay you hear when monitoring live inputs through your audio software: larger buffers produce more delay; smaller buffers produce less.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 62 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM Lower latency versus higher CPU overhead The buffer setting has a large impact on the following things: ■ Patch thru latency ■ The load on your computer’s CPU ■ Possible distortion at the smallest settings How responsive the transport controls are in your audio software ■ The buffer setting presents you with a trade-off between the processing power of your computer and the delay of live audio as it is being patched through your software.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 63 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM Using CueMix FX If your host audio software does not support direct hardware monitoring, you run the CueMix FX software side-by-side with your audio software and manage your monitor mix in CueMix FX. Controlling CueMix DSP from within Cubase or Nuendo To turn on CueMix in Cubase or Nuendo, enable the Direct Monitoring check box in the Device Setup window.

!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 65 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM CHAPTER 9 CueMix FX OVERVIEW CueMix FX is a cross-platform software application that provides graphic, on-screen control for the 828mk3 Hybrid’s flexible CueMix FX on-board mixer and effects processing. CueMix FX can be used independently of host audio software, or together with it. CueMix dovetails with the direct monitoring features of your host audio software, allowing you to seemlessly mix in both environments.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 66 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM A 16-BUS MIXER WITH EQ, COMPRESSION AND REVERB All 828mk3 inputs and outputs can be routed to the on-board CueMix FX 16-bus (8 stereo bus) digital mixer driven by hardware-based DSP with 32-bit floating point precision. The CueMix FX mixer allows you to apply nolatency effects processing to inputs, outputs or busses directly in the 828mk3 hardware, independent of the computer.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 67 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM CUEMIX FX INSTALLATION CueMix FX is installed with the rest of your 828mk3 software. CUEMIX FX BASIC OPERATION Here is a brief overview of the CueMix FX mixer. Eight stereo mix busses CueMix provides eight stereo mix busses: Bus 1, Bus 2, Bus 3, and so on. Each mix bus can take any number of inputs and mix them down to any 828mk3 output pair that you choose.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 68 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM Each mix bus is independent Each mix bus has its own settings. Settings for one bus will not affect another. For example, if an input is used for one bus, it will still be available for other busses. In addition, inputs can have a different volume, pan, mute and solo setting in each bus.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 69 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM THE MIXES TAB Click the Mixes tab (Figure 9-2) to gain access to the 828mk3’s eight stereo mix busses. The Mixes tab displays one mix bus at a time. Viewing a mix Choose the mix you wish to view from the mix bus menu (in the Mixes tab itself, as shown in Figure 9-2). The menu shows all mixes by name, followed by the 828mk3 output pair to which each bus master fader is currently assigned, if any.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 70 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM Bus mute The bus mute button (Figure 9-2) disables (silences) the mix. Bus level meter The bus level meter, which is post-fader, shows you the output for the mix’s output. Bus reverb send/return The bus reverb send (Figure 9-2) feeds the output of the mix bus, pre-fader, to the 828mk3’s global reverb processor, where it is merged with any other signals being fed to the reverb.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 71 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM THE INPUTS TAB The 828mk3 provides many features for managing analog and digital input signals. Some of these features, such as the 828mk3’s digitally controlled analog trims, are implemented in the analog domain; others are implemented in the digital domain as DSP applied to the digital signal (after the A/D converter on analog inputs).
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 72 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM Mono/stereo pairing Click the Mono button (Figure 9-3) if you would like an input to be treated as a mono channel. If you would like to work with it as one channel of a linked stereo pair, click the Stereo button. Inputs are grouped in odd/even pairs (mic 1-2, Analog 1-2, 3-4, etc.) Stereo pairs appear as a single channel strip in the CueMix FX mixer (in all tabs).
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 73 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM Click the selector (Figure 9-4) for the desired EQ band, low-pass (LP) filter, high pass (HP) filter or compressor to view it across all channels. Compressor graph Compressor meter Compressor selector Reverb send The input reverb send (Figure 9-3) feeds the input signal to the 828mk3’s global reverb processor, where it is merged with any other signals being fed to the reverb. The reverb’s output can then be fed back into a mix or output pair.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 74 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM then be fed back into the mixer at various return points, including the same output from which it was sent (discussed below). The output reverb send is disabled (grayed out) when the reverb Split Point is set to Mix to eliminate the possibility for feedback loops created by reverb send/return loops. See “Split point” on page 87.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 75 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM THE CHANNEL SETTINGS SECTION The channel settings section in the CueMix FX window (Figure 9-1) displays three tabs for Channel, EQ and Dynamics settings for the channel with the current focus. There are also two global tabs: the Meter Bridge and the Reverb Processor, as shown below. The Channel tab The Channel tab (Figure 9-8) displays settings for input channels.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 76 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM Stereo settings Inputs that have been grouped as stereo pairs in the Inputs tab (Figure 9-3) provide two stereo modes (Figure 9-8): Normal and M/S. M/S mode provides decoding for a mid-side microphone configuration. The Width knob (Figure 9-8) provides control over the stereo imaging, going from a full stereo image to mono (both channels panned equally). See “Width” on page 70.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 77 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM The EQ tab The EQ tab (Figure 9-10) displays the EQ settings for the input or output channel that currently has the focus.

!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 80 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM Type I Type II Figure 9-13: Type I EQ filter style. Figure 9-14: Type II EQ filter style. The Type I EQ filter has the least amount of Gain/Q interaction, providing the most precision and control of all the EQ filter types. Even small adjustments in gain or reduction produce relatively high Q. This EQ style is best for situations that call for precise EQ adjustments requiring the maximum amount of individual parameter control.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 81 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM Type III Type IV Figure 9-15: Type III EQ filter style. Figure 9-16: Type IV EQ filter style. The Type III EQ filter increases Q as boost is applied. Therefore, lower amounts of boost provide a softer, “wider” EQ effect (since the affected frequency range widens), while higher boost tends to sound louder and more “up front”, due to the increase in Q as the gain is increased.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 82 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM Shelf filters response corresponds to a second order shelf, still with no overshoot. This is the same response as conventional parametric EQs. In some situations, this form of accurate, clean shelving can sound harsh, especially when compared to legacy analog EQs. To soften the results, the overshoot is increased as Q is increased, as shown Figure 9-17 for Q values of 1.00, 2.00 and 3.00.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 83 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM Overshoot tends to produce more of what one would expect to hear when applying shelving and is therefore considered to be more musical than shelving without overshoot. This effect, which has gained tremendous popularity among audio engineers, was first made popular in original Neve series EQs and later in the SSL G series. At maximum the maximum Q setting of 3.00, the overshoot peaks at half the total boosted (or cut) gain.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 84 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM The Dynamics tab The Dynamics tab (Figure 9-21) displays the Dynamics processing settings for the input or output channel that currently has the focus. Click any focus button in the Inputs or Outputs tab to view the Dynamics tab settings for the channel.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 85 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM Peak/RMS modes In RMS mode the compressor uses RMS values (a computational method for determining overall loudness) to measure the input level. In Peak mode, the compressor uses signal peaks to determine the input level. RMS mode will let peaks through because the detector sidechain is only looking at the average signal level. Peak mode will react to brief peaks.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 86 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM It is precisely this self-adjusting behavior that makes optical compressors the tool of choice for smoothing out vocals, bass guitar and fullprogram mixes without destroying perceived dynamics. Compressor/Limit buttons The Comp and Limit buttons (Figure 9-21) model the original LA-2A Limit/Compress mode switch. The effect is very subtle, with the Limit option behaving only slightly more like a limiter than a compressor.

Click Pre to view levels before any input channel processing besides trim; click Post to view levels after all channel processing (EQ, compression, M/S decoding, L/R swap, etc.) The Reverb tab The Reverb tab (Figure 9-23) provides access to the 828mk3’s single, global reverb processor, which provides high-fidelity reverberation and graphic control over its parameters.
!828mk3 Hyb Manual/Win Page 88 Monday, March 28, 2011 6:11 PM Output When the Split Point is set to Output, the sends in Output tab become active and the returns in the Mix bus tab gray out. This allows you to send from inputs, mixes and outputs and return to outputs. Primary controls The Primary Controls section (Figure 9-23) in the Reverb tab provides the following basic parameters for programming the reverb. Reverb Time Reverb time determines the length of decay, or tail, of the reverb.
