A TYPICAL 828X SETUP
Here is a typical 828x studio setup. This rig can be
operated without an external mixer. All mixing and
processing can be done in the computer with audio
software. During recording, you can use the 828x’s
CueMix FX no-latency monitoring to listen to
what you are recording via the main outs,
headphone outs, or any other output pair. 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.
