Now we need to route our headphone bus to one of our sound card’s outputs.

In the Mixing Console, click the Output button in the I/O control region on the cue mix bus. A menu is displayed that lists

all of our sound card’s outputs.

Choose the output where you want to send the headphone mix.

Connect the performer’s headphones to the selected output.

Now we need to create our headphone mix.

If the Sends control region isn’t already visible, click the Sends button in the View Controls pane. Notice that each track

now has a send for Mark’s Headphones (Bus A).

If you have multiple busses in your project, you can adjust the height of the Sends control region until all sends are visible,

or you can click the Channel Send button for each track and choose Mark’s Headphones (Bus A) from the menu.

Click the Pre/Post in each track’s Sends control region to select Pre Volume Send mode. When bus sends are pre-volume,

the cue mix is independent of the main mix.

Drag the fader on each track’s channel strip to adjust the level of the track that is sent to the headphone mix bus. If

multiple tracks are selected, you can adjust their bus-send levels at the same time.

Right-click the bus send fader in the track header in the main application window and choose Link to Main Track Pan

from the shortcut menu. When this command is selected, track panning is applied to bus sends (including pan position

and panning mode). When Link to Main Track Pan is not selected, the track sends a center-panned stereo signal using the

track’s current panning mode.

If you want to exclude a track from the headphone mix, just set its send to -Inf.

You can use the channel strip for the headphone mix bus in the Mixing Console window to adjust the level of the

headphone mix, add effects to the mix, or mute and solo the mix. For more information, see Using bus channel strips on

page 209.

If you need to create multiple mixes, you can add up to 26 busses to the Mixing Console window and repeat the

procedure described in this section.

Tip:

To show or hide the I/O control region, click the I/O button in the View Controls pane.
