I want to use software monitoring
Run the Echo Console and mute all the monitors. This will disable
hardware monitoring. Using hardware and software monitoring
simultaneously won’t hurt anything, but you’ll get a noticeable delay effect
in your outputs (kind of like a slapback echo) since the hardware and
software monitors have different latencies.
The best method, therefore, is to mute the monitors in the console and to
control your software monitoring from within your audio application.
No matter which type of monitoring you use, if you choose to use either the
software or hardware monitoring within your ASIO program, this will
determine how you should use the Echo Console. If you use your ASIO
program for monitoring, then you should only use the Echo Console for
setting the
Digital Mode
and the
Input Clock
. If you use both your ASIO
program and the Echo Console for monitoring, the Echo24 ASIO driver will
get confused (this is bad).
NOTE:
You cannot change the digital mode while an ASIO program is
running
– you must shut down the program, make the change in the Echo
Console, and then restart the ASIO program. S/PDIF and ADAT inputs and
outputs are not simultaneously active. The
Digital Mode Switch
in the
Echo Console determines which digital mode is currently active.
