MAYA has many features that can enhance your audio 
production environment. If you are serious enough to about your 
digital audio, you may want to take time to read through this 
section carefully. While you may not need all of these features, 
and simply opt to plug in the cables to get started right away, you 
should at least be aware of MAYA’s capabilities – in case you 
need them later on.

Shown below is just one of many possible connection schemes 

for MAYA. In a typical audio production studio or workstation, 
where you have both digital and analog devices, this set up treats 
your PC as a stereo master recorder. In this case, monitoring of 
MAYA will be similar to “through-the-tape” monitoring, where 
you monitor your input and output sources from the tape 
recorder’s point.
