SYSTEM SETTINGS 31
Hardware monitoring/Hybrid Engine: In this case, the complete mixer works in low
latency mode. This means that low playback latencies can be achieved. Monitoring of the
input signals depends on the sound card being used.
Mixer FX monitoring/Hybrid Engine: The Hybrid Audio Engine enables audio monitoring
throughout the entire mixer and, in doing so, also calculates playback tracks in the mixer
with short latency. This way you can also mix data from the hard drive with the lowest
possible playback delay. We recommend this mode for input signals as well as for live
mixing with hardware controllers, whereby access to all bus and master effects is
guaranteed.
Note: If you use "TotalMix" from RME in combination with a hardware monitoring mode,
then set the panning law in "TotalMix" to -6dB. This helps ensure that the recording level in
Samplitude matches the monitoring levels in "TotalMix".
Mode switching
Tape monitoring (preset): In STOP and RECORD states, the input signal is played; in
PLAY state, the track content is played.
Manual monitoring: With the help of the loudspeaker button in the track box or the track
editor, you can manually switch on the input signal for monitoring. This mode is only
effective when the ASIO driver system is used.
Mix input and playback: If you put a check mark here, then you will be able to here the
input signal during running playback too, if track monitoring is active.
Other than the system options in the audio setup, the monitoring settings and switching
processes are available to you by right clicking on the "Moni." button. Here you can see
two more MIDI recording options:
Automatic MIDI record switch on current track: This option ensures that MIDI tracks are
always ready for recording as soon as they are selected. This is indicated by the pink
record buttons.
Automatic MIDI monitoring (thru) during recording: If this option is selected, then every
MIDI track which you activate for recording will be switched on, i.e. you will always
immediately hear the input signal for this track.
