DIRECT MONITORING
The Direct Monitoring option (Figure 7-5) allows
you to monitor inputs directly in the
UltraLite-mk3 hardware with no drain on your
computer and near zero latency. When you enable
this option, Cubase uses the UltraLite-mk3’s
CueMix FX monitoring features whenever you use
Cubase’s monitoring features. For further
information, see “Controlling CueMix FX from
within Cubase or Nuendo” on page 59.
OTHER SYSTEM DIALOG SETTINGS
Consult your Cubase or Nuendo documentation
for details about the rest of the settings in this
dialog.
VIEWING AND MANAGING ULTRALITE-MK3
INPUTS
Once you’ve chosen the MOTU ASIO Driver in
Device Setup as explained earlier in “Choosing the
MOTU ASIO driver” on page 45, click
MOTU
Audio ASIO in the left-hand list to see the
UltraLite-mk3 inputs in the port list on the right
(Figure 7-5). To activate an UltraLite-mk3 output,
create a bus in the VST Connections window and
assign the desired output to it.

Return Assign
In the VST Inputs list, you’ll see an UltraLite-mk3
input pair called
Return 1-2 . This is a stereo feed
from the UltraLite-mk3 that matches the output of
one of its output pairs. Use the Return Assign menu
in MOTU Audio Console to choose which output
pair you would like to hear on this return. This can
be used, for example, to record back a final stereo
mix that includes effects processing from the
UltraLite-mk3 DSP (such as the Leveler) for
reference and archiving purposes.
