Using Software Input Monitoring

Section III - Using software Input Monitoring

The previous examples have turned off Cubase® LE’s Input Monitoring software switches while recording tracks, and used the Monitor Mix knob on the front of the Lambda Studio™ hardware to directly monitor an input without latency. Software monitoring lets you listen to software-based effects in real time and adjust the monitor mix indepen- dently of the recording levels, but also introduces some latency (delay) into the input signal. The amount of latency depends on the amount of buffers assigned in the ASIO control panel. See page 32 for more information about adjusting buffer settings.

1.When using Cubase LE’s input software monitoring with the Lambda Studio, you will want to set the Monitor Mix knob all the way to the Playback side.

2.Click the Input Monitoring button on the track you are recording to. You will now be able to hear your input. Now you can try assigning an effect on the input. This example assigns a Pantheon™ reverb.

3.Click the Track Edit button.
