The US-428 will support an unlimited
number of channels. It is only limited to
the maximum amount of channels your
audio software will support.
When changing to a different bank of
faders, you may find that the fader on
the US-428 is now out of position with
the associated channel’s fader in
Cubasis. Pressing the FADER NULL
button will disengage the US-428’s
faders from the program, allowing you
to move the US-428’s fader to match the
fader in the software’s internal mixer.
The REC and SEL LED’s function as
up/down indicators, guiding you to the
correct fader position. For best results, it
is recommended that FADER NULL
function be utilized with the transport
stopped.
6.10 ASIO2 Direct Monitoring
Some audio programs that can use
ASIO 2 for audio input and output, such
as Steinberg’s Cubase VST, support a
feature called “Direct Monitoring.” This
lets the program’s user interface control
hardware input-to-output monitoring
paths. Without Direct Monitoring
enabled, the latency is controlled by
your buffer size setting (see section 5.2)
and your program can add effects such
as reverb and EQ in both the monitor
and record paths. With Direct Monitoring
enabled the latency is ultra-low (less
than 1.5ms), but you can’t hear effects
in the monitor path (although they will be
recorded if enabled).
To enable Direct Monitoring in Cubase
VST, open the Audio Control Panel. In
the “Monitoring” section of the window,
check “ASIO Direct Monitor.” (You also
need either “Record Enable Type” or
“Tape Type” monitoring enabled.)
