Direct Monitoring with the Firefly or Helix Board?

If you would like to directly monitor the tracks you are recording in Cubase (or other DAW software - though we’re sticking to Cubase for the purposes of this article), first you will need to set your tracks up in Cubase.  Once you’ve done so, and you’re ready to record, click the small speaker icon in your track details (seen in the image at the bottom of this article).  This button will allow you to directly monitor your recorded audio.  The signal will be returned directly to the Helix Board or Firefly unit for monitoring.

Direct monitoring Icon is indicated with a red circle.
