Lexicon Alpha Desktop Recording Studio

SECTION II - USING SOFTWARE INPUT MONITORING

The previous examples have turned off Cubase® LE 4’s Input Monitoring software

switches while recording tracks, and used the Monitor Mix knob on the front of the

Alpha Studio™ hardware to directly monitor an input without latency. Software moni-

toring lets you listen to software-based effects in real time and adjust the monitor mix

independently 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 31 for more information about adjusting buffer settings.

1. When using Cubase LE 4’s input software monitoring with the Alpha 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.
