Setting Up a Studio Cue Mix

By copying the level and pan information from the main mix to the Stu-
dio Sends, a rough balance can be created in a matter of moments. 
Next, you may alter the level and pan settings on any channel’s Studio 
Sends to change the mix to meet the performer’s needs. This may re-
