to blend your direct monitor signals with the audio being played from your computer.

analog output pairs that are set to listen to DAW outputs 1/2.
4. HEADPHONE 1 / 2 – These knobs control the volume for the corresponding HEADPHONE 1 and
2 outputs on the rear panel. You can select which stereo channels are routed to these outputs in
the Global Menus (see the GLOBAL MENUS section for more information).

analog output pairs. To switch a stereo mix between multiple sets of speakers, set each of the
three output pair sources in the global menus to OUTPUT 1/2.
6. TALKBACK – Pressing this button will let you speak into the built-in microphone (right above the
button) to your musicians. This signal will interrupts any audio that would otherwise be playing.
Select which pairs of channels allow talkback, and set the talkback volume, in the Global Menus
(see the GLOBAL MENUS section for more information).

your computer software to the MasterControl.
