While going through this section you might find ituseful to also refer to the “Front and Rear Panels” section on page 16, as well as the pdf manualsupplied with the Cubase AI4 software.Step1 Installing Cubase AI4IMPORTANT !Since the End-User Software License Agreement (EUSLA) shown on your PC-display in yourinstalling the “DAW” software is replaced by the agreement at the end of this manual, youshould disregard the EUSLA. Read the Software License Agreement at the end of this manualcarefully, and install the software if you agree to it.123Start the computer and log on to the Administrator account.Insert the included DVD-ROM into the computer’s DVD-ROM drive.Open the “Cubase AI 4 for Windows” folder and double-click on the “CubaseAI4.msi”.Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Cubase AI4 software.NOTE• When installing Cubase AI4, you will need a working internet connection to register your Cubase AI4. Makesure to fill in all required fields for user registration. If you do not register the product, you will be unable to usethe application after a limited period of time expires.•For a Macintosh computer, double-click the “CubaseAI4.mkpg” icon for installation.Step12 Connecting to the MW mixerTurn the power to the MW mixer and allgear that is to be connected to the MWmixer off/standby (except the computer),and set the LEVEL controls and STEREOMaster control to their minimum settings.2Connect the MW mixer to your computerusing the supplied USB cable.USB Connection PrecautionsBe sure to observe the following points when connecting tothe computer’s USB interface.Failure to observe these rules can result in computer freezes/hang-ups and possibly data loss or corruption. If the MWmixer or computer does hang up, turn the power to bothdevices off and then on again, and restart the computer.LEVEL controlsCAUTION• Be sure to wake the computer from sleep/suspended/standbymode before making a connectionto the computer’s USB connector.• Connect the MW mixer to the computer beforeturning the MW mixer power on.• Always quit all applications running on thecomputer before turning the MW mixer’spower on or off, or connecting or disconnectingthe USB cable.• Wait at least 6 seconds between turning theMW mixer on or off, and between connectingor disconnecting the USB cable.STEREO Master controlCAUTIONNOTEWhen connecting or disconnecting the USBcable be sure to turn the 2TR IN/USB controlall the way down.Disconnect the USB cable when using the MWmixer without the computer.MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual 7

Mixer BasicsQuick Guide3Connecting Microphones and/or Instruments.For details on making connections refer to the “Setup”section on page 15 and the “Front & Rear Panels” sectionon page 16.Step3 Powering Up the SystemTo prevent loud pops and noises, turn on thepower to your sound gear starting with thesources (instruments, CD players, etc.) and endingwith the power amplifier or powered speakers.Example : Instruments, microphones, and CD players first, thenthe mixer, and finally the power amplifier or poweredspeakers.Be sure to turn the MW mixerPHANTOM switch on whenusing phantom-powered condensermicrophones.CAUTIONObserve the following precautions whenturning on phantom power.• Make sure that the PHANTOM switch is off whenphantom power is not needed.• When turning the switch on, be sure that only condensermicrophones are connected to the XLRinput jacks. Other devices may be damaged if connectedto phantom power. This precaution does notapply to balanced dynamic microphones, however,as these will not be affected by phantom power.• To minimize the possibility of speaker damage, turnphantom power on ONLY while your power amplifieror powered speakers are switched off. It’s also agood idea to turn the mixer’s output controls—STE-REO Master control—all the way down.•We recommend that you set the computer output to themaximum level and mute the computer’s internalspeaker. For details on how to make the setting refer tothe “The recorded sound is too low in level.” in the “Troubleshooting”on page 22.• The first time you connect to the computer’s USB connector,or change the connection to a different USB port,a driver installation display may appear after turning thepower to the MW mixer on. If this occurs, wait until theinstallation is complete before proceeding.DIAlthough electric guitarsand basses can be connecteddirectly to themixer’s inputs, the sound islikely to be thin and possiblynoisy. For best resultswith these types of instrumentsuse a DI box (directbox) or amp simulatorbetween the instrumentand the mixer.USB cableNOTEBalanced Cables and Unbalanced CablesTwo types of cables can be used to connect microphones, electronicinstruments, and other audio sources to the mixer’s inputs,as well as to connect the mixer’s outputs to a power amplifier orrelated gear: balanced or unbalanced. Balanced cables arehighly resistant to noise, and are the best choice for low-level signalssuch as the output from microphones, as well as for longcable runs. Unbalanced cables are generally used for short runsfrom line-level sources such as synthesizers.Cable GuidelinesMicrophone cable Balanced is best.Short line-level cablesUnbalanced cable is fine in a relativelynoise-free environment.Long line-level cables Balanced is best.Connector TypesXLR ConnectorsThis 3-pin connector is resistant toexternally induced noise, and isused primarily for balanced connections.With properly designedreceiving circuitry cables with thistype of connector can also be usedfor unbalanced signals. XLR typeconnectors are the standard formicrophone connections as well as most professional audiogear.Phone ConnectorsPhone connectors are availablein mono and stereo versions.Stereo types are alsoknown as “TRS” connectors(Tip-Ring-Sleeve), and areused for stereo headphonejacks, insert jacks, and also tocarry balanced signals in manycases. Unbalanced types areused for mono signals -guitarcables are a common example.RCA Pin ConnectorsThis type of unbalanced connectoris most commonly foundon home audio and videoequipment. RCA type pin jacksare often color coded: white forleft audio channel and red forright audio channel, for example.8MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual

Mixer BasicsQuick GuideStep4 Adjusting Level and ToneLevel Adjustment1234The first step is to set the level controls onall instruments and other sources appropriately.Adjust the channel GAIN controls so thatthe corresponding PEAK indicators flashbriefly on the highest peak levels. (GAINcontrols are not provided on the stereochannels—7/8 (MW8CX), or 7/8 and 9/10(MW10C)).Raise the STEREO Master control to the“▼” position.Adjust the LEVEL control to create thedesired initial balance while monitoring viaheadphones or monitor speakers. Theoverall headphone level is adjusted by theMONITOR/PHONES control.Tone AdjustmentThe MW mixer’s compressors and 3-band equalizers makeit easy to shape the tone of independent channels toachieve the best possible mix.Use the High-pass Filter for Microphone InputAs the name implies, a “high-pass filter” allows only signalsabove a certain frequency to pass. Conversely, signals belowthat “cutoff frequency” are attenuated. When an MW highpassfilter is turned on, signals below 80 Hz are attenuated.This can be useful for minimizing low-frequency breath noisefrom a vocalist, as well as handling noise, or rumble transmittedvia the microphone stand. It is generally a good idea toturn the high-pass filter on for microphone channels.CompressionOne form of compression known as “limiting” can, whenproperly used, produce a smooth, unified sound with noexcessive peaks or distortion. A common example of the useof compression is to “tame” a vocal that has a wide dynamicrange in order to tighten up the mix. Compression can alsobe applied to guitar tracks to add extra sustain. Too muchcompression can be a cause of feedback, however, so use itsparingly.OUTPUT(Min)GAIN control(Max)PEAK indicatorINPUTLEVEL controlsMONITOR/PHONES controlSTEREO Master controlEqualizer TipsThe best advice that can be given regarding equalizationwhile recording is simply to use as little equalization as possible.If you want a little more presence you can turn the HIGHend up a bit. Or you can boost the bass a little if you feel thelow end is lacking. During recording it’s better to use EQsparingly for compensation only.MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual 9

Mixer BasicsQuick GuideStep5 Recording with Cubase AI4This section describes the procedure for recording to the Cubase AI4 software we installed earlier via the MW mixer.NOTEFor details on operation of the Cubase AI4 software refer to the pdf-format manual provided with the software.Cubase AI4 Setup1To prevent the playback sound fromCubase AI4 from being directly rerecorded,set the MW mixer’s 2TR IN/USBswitch to TO MONITOR ( ).3Select [Device Setup] from the [Device]menu to open the Device Setup window.Windows:Select [VST Audio System] in the [Device] field on theleft side of the window.

Mixer BasicsQuick Guide4To hear playback of the track you have justrecorded, use either the Transport panel[Rewind] button or the ruler to rewind tothe beginning of the recorded section, thenclick the Transport panel [Start] button.The overall playback level will be displayed via the mastersection bus level meter on the right side of the mixerwindow, and the channel level will be displayed via thechannel strip level meter.NOTE• Click the [Narrow/Wide] button in the upper leftcorner of the mixer window to increase thewidth of the mixer’s channel strips.• The output signal from Cubase AI4 is routed tothe MW mixer’s 2TR IN inputs. To hear the playbacksound via a pair of headphones pluggedinto the MW mixer, set the bus select switch toTO MONITOR ( ) and adjust the volume withthe 2TR IN/USB control and the MONITOR/PHONES control.567To save the project file select [Save]from the [File] menu and enter a filename before actually saving the file.Save your project file frequently to insure against losinglarge amounts of data if a problem occurs.Repeat steps 1 through 5 to record furthermaterial on the same track.To record additional material on a differenttrack, select a new track and repeat therecord procedure.NOTE You can monitor the sound being recorded anda previously recorded sound simultaneouslywhile recording (MONITOR MIX). Refer to “B2TR IN/USB” on page 19 for details.[Narrow/Wide] button[Narrow/Wide] buttonLevel meterBus level meterStep6 Mixing with Cubase AI4In this section we’ll try mixing down multiple recorded audio tracks to stereo, and creating a wav file. Mixes can be stored asWAV or AIFF files, which can then be recorded to audio CDs.123Launch Cubase AI4 and open a project file.Click the [Start] button on the TransportPanel.While listening to playback, drag the channelstrip level faders up and down to createthe desired initial balance, then adjust theoverall volume using the bus volume fader.Start with the Featured PartYou can start working on a mix from almost any part, but itmakes the most sense to start with the main instrument orvocal. Set up an initial level for the main part, and then buildthe rest of the mix around it.For example, if you’re mixing a piano trio with a vocalist,begin by setting the level of the vocal track at around thenominal level, and then gradually add the other instruments.Your choices will also be influenced by the type of music youare working on. If the song is a ballad you might want to addthe piano to the mix after the vocal, and then add the bassand drums. If it’s a more rhythmically oriented piece youcould add the bass and drums first, and then the piano.Whatever best serves the music is right.MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual 13

Mixer BasicsQuick Guide4Drag the pan controls on the top of thechannel strips left and right to set the stereoposition of each track.67When the final mix adjustments havebeen made, go to the [File] menu andselect [Export] → [Audio Mixdown].Enter a file name and select a destinationfor the file as well as a file type.If you intend to use the file to create an audio CD, selectthe WAV file type (AIFF on Macintosh OS X), StereoOut (stereo), 16 bit, and 44.1 kHz.Pan Effectively“Panning” creates the illusion of stereo space by changingthe relative levels of each track’s signal sent to the left andright speakers. If a signal is sent only to the left speaker, thesound will appear to come from the far left side of the stereosound field. If it sent with equal level to both left and rightspeakers our ears tell us the sound is located in the center ofthe stage. Judicious panning can also help to create cleanersoundingmixes by spreading the instruments out across thesound stage so that they don’t “get in each other’s way.”There are no hard and fast rules, but the bass and kick drumare usually placed in the center of the mix, as is the leadinstrument or vocal. Other instruments should be evenly balancedthroughout the sound stage in a well-balanced manner.5At this point you can begin to use EQ torefine your mix, and add effects.As an example let’s try adding reverb. Click the [Edit]button ( ) on the left side of the channel strip toopen the VST audio channel settings window. ClickInsert 1 and select Earlier VST Plug-ins → Reverb →RoomWorks SE.NOTEFor further details refer to the pdf manual providedwith the Cubase AI4 software.It’s a good idea to lower the channel fader abit before adding an effect, since the effectcan cause an increase in the overall channellevel.8Click [Export].Progress of the mixdown operation will be shown in aprogress window. When the progress window closes themixdown is complete.CAUTIONNOTEWave files created by mixdown can be directlyplayed back using the Windows Media Player,or iTunes on a Macintosh computer.14MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual

ReferenceFront & Rear PanelsThe following applies to both the MW8CX and MW10C. In cases where different features need to bedescribed for each model, the MW8CX feature will be described first, followed by the MW10C featurein brackets: MW8CX (MW10C).Channel Control Section12567890ABChannels1 and 2(Monaural)136790ABChannels3/4 and 5/6(Stereo)Channels7/8 (7/8 and 9/10)(Stereo)430AB1 MIC Input Jacks (CHs 1 to 5/6)These are balanced XLR-type microphone input jacks(1:Ground; 2:Hot; 3:Cold).2 LINE Input Jacks (CHs 1, 2)These are balanced TRS phone-jack line inputs (T:Hot;R:Cold; S:Ground).You can connect either balanced or unbalanced phone plugsto these jacks.3 LINE Input Jacks (CHs 3/4 to 7/8 (CHs 3/4 to9/10))These are unbalanced phone-jack stereo line inputs.4 LINE Input Jacks (CH 7/8, (CHs 7/8, 9/10))These are unbalanced stereo RCA pin jacks.NOTEWhere an input channel provides both a MIC inputjack and a LINE input jack, or a LINE input jack andan RCA pin jack, you can use either jack but not bothat the same time. Please connect to only one jack oneach channel.5 INSERT Jacks (CHs 1, 2)Each of these jacks provides an insert point between theequalizer and LEVEL control of the corresponding inputchannel (CHs 1, 2). The INSERT jacks are ideal for connectingdevices such as graphic equalizers, compressors, or noisefilters into the corresponding channels. These are TRS (tip,ring, sleeve) phone jacks that carry both the send and returnsignal (tip = send/out; ring = return/in; sleeve = ground).NOTEPatching external devices via an INSERT jackrequires a special insert cable such as illustratedbelow (insert cable sold separately).To the input jack of theexternal processorCCCTo the INSERT I/O jackTip: OUTMW8CXSleeve (Ground)Ring: INTip: OUTTip: INTo the output jack ofthe external processorCAUTIONThe signal output from the INSERT jacks isreverse-phased. This should not be a problemwhen connecting to an effect unit, but please beaware of the possiblility of phase conflict whenconnecting to other types of device. A reversedphasedsignal may result in degraded soundquality or even complete sound cancellation.16MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual

ReferenceFront & Rear Panels6 GAIN ControlAdjusts the input signal level.To achieve the best balance between S/N ratio and dynamicrange, adjust the level so that the PEAK indicator 9 lightsonly occasionally and briefly on the highest input transients.The -60 to -16 scale is the MIC input adjustment range. The-34 to +10 scale is the LINE input adjustment range.7 Switch (High Pass Filter)This switch toggles the HPF on or off. To turn the HPF on,press the switch in ( ). The HPF cuts frequencies below80 Hz (the HPF does not apply to the line inputs of stereoinput channels 34).8 COMP ControlAdjusts the amount of compression applied to the channel.As the knob is turned to the right the compression ratioincreases while the output gain is automatically adjustedaccordingly. The result is smoother, more even dynamicsbecause louder signals are attenuated while the overall levelis boosted.NOTE Avoid setting the compression too high, as the thehigher average output level that results may lead tofeedback.9 PEAK IndicatorThe peak level of the post-EQ signal is detected, and thePEAK indicator lights red when the level reaches 3 dBbelow clipping. For XLR-equipped stereo input channels (3/4 and 5/6), both the post-EQ and post-mic-amp peak levelsare detected, and the indicator lights red if either of theselevels reaches 3 dB below clipping.0 Equalizer (HIGH, MID, and LOW)This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, mid,and low frequency bands. CH 7/8 (CHs 7/8, 9/10) have twobands: high and low. Setting the knob to the ▼ position producesa flat response in the corresponding band. Turning theknob to the right boosts the corresponding frequency band,while turning to the left attenuates the band. The followingtable shows the EQ type, frequency, and maximum cut/boostfor each of the three bands.B PAN Control (CHs 1, 2)PAN/BAL Control (CHs 3/4, 5/6)BAL Control (CH 7/8 (CHs 7/8, 9/10)The PAN control determines the stereo positioning of thechannel signal on the Stereo L and R buses.The BAL control knob sets the balance between left andright channels. Signals input to the L input (odd channel) goto the Stereo L bus; signals input to the R input (even channel)go to the Stereo R bus.NOTEOn channels where this knob provides both PAN andBAL control (channels 3/4 and 5/6), the knob operatesas a PAN control when input is received via theMIC jack or L (MONO) input only, and as a BAL controlwhen input is received via both L and R inputs.C LEVEL ControlAdjusts the level of the channel signal. Use these knobs toadjust the balance between the various channels.NOTESet the controls for unused channels all the waydown to minimize noise.Band Type FrequencyHIGH Shelving 10 kHzMID Peaking 2.5 kHzLOW Shelving 100 HzMaximumCut/Boost±15 dBA EFFECT (AUX) ControlAdjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to theEFFECT (AUX) bus. Note that the signal level sent to thebus is also affected by the LEVEL control C. On stereochannels (CHs 3/4 to 7/8 (CHs 3/4 to 9/10)) the signalsfrom the L (odd) and R (even) channels are mixed andthen sent to the EFFECT (AUX) bus.MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual 17

Be sure to makeappropriate level adjustments at the recordingdevice.3 RETURN L (MONO), R JacksThese are unbalanced phone-jack type line inputs. The signalreceived by these jacks is sent to the STEREO L/R bus.These jacks are typically used to receive the signal returnedfrom an external effect device (reverb, delay, etc.).NOTEThese jacks can also be used as an auxiliary stereoinput. If you connect to the L (MONO) jack only, themixer will recognize the signal as monaural and willsend the identical signal to both the L and R jacks.4 SEND EFFECT (AUX) JackThis is an impedance balanced* TRS phone jack that outputsthe signal from the EFFECT (AUX) bus. You can use thisjack, for example, to connect to an external effect unit.5 STEREO OUT (L, R) JacksThese are impedance balanced* TRS phone jacks that outputthe signals adjusted by the STEREO Master control E. Youcan use these jacks, for example, to connect to the poweramplifier driving your main speakers.6 MONITOR (L, R) JacksThese are impedance balanced* TRS phone jacks that outputthe signals adjusted by the MONITOR/PHONES control C.Connect these jacks to your monitor system.7 PHONES JackConnect a pair of headphones to this TRS phone jack. ThePHONES jack outputs the same signal as the MONITOROUT jacks.8 PHANTOM +48 V SwitchThis switch toggles phantom power on and off. When theswitch is on the mixer supplies +48V phantom power to allchannels that have XLR mic input jacks (CHs 1–5/6).Turn this switch on when using one or more phantom-poweredcondenser microphones.NOTECAUTIONWhen this switch is on the mixer supplies DC +48 Vpower to pins 2 and 3 of all XLR-type MIC INPUTjacks.• Be sure to leave this switch off ( ) if you donot need phantom power.• When tuning the switch on ( ), be sure thatonly condenser mics are connected to the XLRinput jacks (CHs: 1 to 5/6). Devices other thancondenser mics may be damaged if connectedto the phantom power supply. Note, however,that the switch may be left on when connectingto balanced dynamic microphones.• To avoid damage to speakers, be sure to turnoff amplifiers (or powered speakers) beforeturning this switch on or off. We also recommendthat you turn all output controls (STE-REO Master control, etc.) to their minimumsettings before operating the switch to avoidthe risk of loud noises that could cause hearingloss or device damage.18MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual
