Monitoring
Monitoring A major consideration when recording into a host-based DAW (Cubase, Logic, Sonar, etc) is that there is always a latency associated with a signal passing through the software.
In a DAW setup, it is desirable for the musician and engineer (who may be the same person!) to monitor the signal before it reaches the computer audio interface. If you wish to monitor the signal after it has passed through the hardware and software then you will need to run the system with a very low buffer size to avoid hearing a delayed signal; this is not always possible.
Analog recording and monitoring
Analog recording and monitoring The Alpha channel provides a feature that allows one output for the recording send and another for monitoring, meaning zero latency monitoring can be fully realized. This is achieved by simultaneously using the Line Output and Insert Send jacks.
Whilst recording a vocalist wishes to hear the vocals with some added reverb and some EQ. The engineer, however, is not keen to record these processes on the signal but prefers to record the unprocessed, dry signal coming from the Alpha channel. In this situation, the engineer wants to use his own A/D converters, so for now the digital connections of the Alpha Channel will be ignored.
