Using the AES16e
7.2.3 Using Direct Monitoring in an ASIO Application
The Direct Monitoring (sometimes referred to as “hardware monitoring”) feature offered in many popular
third party applications provides a means to enable low-latency monitoring supported by the AES16e’s on-
board digital mixer. Instead of using the Lynx Mixer to manually enable monitoring as discussed in the
previous section, controls within the application provide convenient access to this functionality.
Additionally, some applications offer “tape type” monitoring whereby inputs are monitored only when
recording is taking place. When utilizing Direct Monitoring from a recording application, it is preferable to
NOT make alterations to the Lynx mixer directly, as these changes may cause Direct Monitoring to
produce unexpected results.
When Direct Monitoring is enabled in an application, Output Monitor Source Buttons
B through J are automatically assigned monitor sources.
Since panning of mono input sources is available with Direct
Monitoring, even though pan controls are not a feature of the Lynx
mixer, each mono source is assigned to both the left and right c
of an output channel strip. When a mono signal is panned from withi
the host application, the level sliders under each instance of the
monitor source will move accordingly. As an example: If Digital
Left is being monitored on Digital Out 1 Left & Right, when you pa
the input signal to the left the Monitor Source Volume for Digital Out
1 Left increases and the Monitor Source Volume for Digital Out 1
Right decreases.

Since this feature relies upon code within a third party application to operate, different software versions
may behave differently than described.
