If, for example, you have a microphone hooked up to your Analog input (on your breakout cable), and you want to direct monitor that, then make sure that you have a value (say 0), on the grid that sending that input to the output you want it to go to (probably out 3 and 4, (maybe also labeled PH for headphones).ĭirect monitoring is just the ability to listen to the signal directly without going through the DAW, that's essentially zero latency in comparison. On the grid, wherever there is a value, you have a connection (from an input to an output). The lower section is for software playback. Notice in the inputs (vertical ones), that the upper section is for hardware inputs. In the grid view, the inputs are all the vertical choices.
I will now attempt to give you the best advice I can.
I have struggled to understand RME's TotalMix software that you use with the Babyface.
