ASIO Direct Monitor Send/Return

This type of insert send breaks the signal at the insert point and sends it out to the selected ASIO Host Input destination (such as Cubase or Sonar). A return source signal is also selected which returns the signal to the channel strip from an ASIO Host Output.

The ASIO Direct Monitor Send/Return is unique in that it utilizes ASIO 2.0 zero-latency monitoring. In order to utilize this feature, Direct Monitoring must be enabled in the audio recording application.

While recording, the Direct Monitor Send/Return routes the signal to the recording application, but monitors directly from the input to eliminate latency. During playback, the recording application automatically switches the Direct Monitor Send/Return to monitor the recorded track.

The Direct Monitor Send/Return also allows the recording application to control volume and pan. Normally when using direct monitor recording you’ll want to control the volume and pan from the recording application. In this case, set the PatchMix DSP stereo pan controls hard left and right, mono pan controls to center, and the fader to 0dB.
