Direct Input Monitoring

Hey Everyone,

Is there any way to set up direct input monitoring via the Control Center Matrix ?

I’m fearing no as I’ve been looking everywhere online and no mention of it in the manual. Seems like a fairly big omission unless it’s something in the pipeline on a firmware/software update. Makes a huge difference when recording vocals or DI’d guitar bass over a project.

Most interfaces have this option at least within the mixing software itself or even a hardware button/knob.

I use the Main mixer for this, and assign it to the speaker and headphone outputs.

OK I follow but…how are you then getting the backing track audible ?

Since you can only set one destination per input ? Are you able to share your mixer/ matrix settings ?

okaaayyyeee figured it out…thanks for pointing me in the right direction, config screengrabs below for anyone else lost like l was :slight_smile:

Great! Mine is set up the same as yours now. I mute the inputs once they’re recorded and I want to play back from the DAW. It’s not as quick and convenient as a direct monitor button on the front panel, but with sixteen inputs (plus possibly more with ADAT) it’s a solution that scales well. Eventually, I’ll add a MIDI controller to make the workflow a bit smoother.

good call on the midi control and yeah tbh not a big deal to mute on the app…….love the interface I’m using my old one as the adat expander……the direct monitoring had me stressed there for a bit but now all good with the world haha thanks again !!

I’m having a similar problem but with Audiofuse Studio. Can’t disable direct monitoring. I need the sounds to come out only from the daw but instead it’s cutting off the master fader altogether. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Setup Main with all your inputs muted. then setup Cue1 or Cue2 in the same way but with all the inputs unmuted.
Now when recording use main and you get your DAW audio. But you can use Cue2 at anytime to hear the input audio, such as when noodling around between recording takes.
