ASIO Direct Monitoring – all products
Use Direct Monitoring in your software, but don’t use the Console for
monitoring. Only use the Console for clock synchronization.
I want to use software monitoring
Run the Console and mute all the monitors. This will disable hardware
monitoring. Using hardware and software monitoring simultaneously won’t
hurt anything, but you’ll get a noticeable delay effect in your outputs (kind
of like a slapback echo) since the hardware and software monitors have
different latencies.
The best method, therefore, is to mute the monitors in the console and to
control your software monitoring from within your audio application.
No matter which type of monitoring you use, if you choose to use either the
software or hardware monitoring within your ASIO program, this will
determine how you should use the Console. If you use your ASIO program
for monitoring, then you should only use the Console for setting the
Input
Clock
. If you use both your ASIO program and the Console for monitoring,
the Echo24 ASIO driver will get confused (this is bad).
Finally, please note that when using DirectMonitoring on Mia, any signal
that you select to monitor will be automatically sent to both the analog and
digital outputs.
