thanks to some good folks here (sorry, lost thread) i've got the cue/monitoring function working. its kinda cool. tempo/click is fed to drummer only, sequencing to drummer and PA.
i'm used to boosting the DB of audio files (wavs/aiffs etc) big via clip properties, and using faders in main mixer screen to mix volume... no big deal. but, i've discovered that the mixer is bypassed for anything routed to cue. so i basically get a distorted mess through cue and you can hardly hear the click.
so i had to bring all the audio samples' DB way down so the volume of the click can compete and be heard. so i actually mixed the arrangements for the drummer/cue via the DB boost in clip properties for each track.
then tweaked levels in the mixer for the master output/PA.
is this the only way to do this? just wondering if anyone has had any experience or tips with all this and can throw in some better ideas of maybe executing this....
thanks
