Assigning inputs to audio tracks

Now, you’re ready to assign the MultiMix’s inputs to various channels.

For each audio track that you want to record, click on the input section of the track and select the MultiMix channel that you want.

Record-enable the tracks to be recorded (first arrow).

You will do most of your monitoring through the mixer. However, if you want to monitor with Sonar’s effects, or if you just want to hear what the computer is hearing, press the direct monitoring button next to the Record Enable button (second arrow.).

Note that using direct monitoring causes a small delay as the digital audio is being processed. For this reason, when you use direct monitoring, you may want to press the MultiMix’s MIX TO CONTROL ROOM button up so as not to hear the audio signal twice.
