Alesis MasterControl manual

6.Choose an input for your track by selecting it from the drop-down menu of available inputs. By default, the input will be the first stereo bus in the “VST Connections” window.

7.You will do most of your monitoring through the mixer. However, if you want to monitor with Cubase’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.

Note that using the MasterControl’s 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 mute Cubase’s input monitoring so as not to hear the audio signal twice.

Add additional audio tracks as needed. Record-enable each one and press the RECORD button to begin recording.

For additional information, consult your software’s documentation.
