dspMixFx UR-RT

This software is for operating the convenient built-in DSP mixer and DSP effects. The DSP mixer allows you to mix up to six input channels {four input channels} down to one stereo output. A number of DSP effects for processing the input signals are also provided, and since the processing/ mixing is hardware-based, there is no monitoring latency.

NOTE

You cannot operate dspMixFx UR-RT while a Cubase series DAW is running. When Cubase is running, configure the DSP mixer and DSP effect from “Dedicated Windows for Cubase Series” (page 16).

What is Loopback?

Loopback is a convenient function for broadcasting over the Internet. It mixes the input audio signals (such as microphone and guitar) with the audio signals playing back in the software in the computer into two channels in the UR-RT, and sends them back to the computer. Refer to the section “Signal Flow” (page 37).

If the Loopback function is on while you are monitoring input signals from the UR-RT via DAW software, it will cause loud noise. This is because an infinite loop of the audio signal is generated between the UR-RT and the DAW software. When using the loopback function, turn off the monitor functions on your DAW software.
