English Direct Monitoring Through the MASTER L & R jacks and the MASTER PHONES jack, you can directly monitor signals input at INPUT 1-8 jacks or COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL STEREO INPUT jacks. When an audio input signal, such as a guitar or vocal signal, is output through the computer, latency (delay) may occur. However, this Direct Monitoring function enables you to monitor a signal before it is output to the connected computer, and thus avoids latency in the monitoring signal. NOTE If you wish to record to the DAW your vocal or musical instrument performance accompanying the DAW's background tracks, while listening to the sound through the i88X, turn off the monitoring function on the DAW. Otherwise, you will have to listen to a delayed sound (from the DAW) and to a non-delayed sound (monitoring sound from the i88X) at the same time, resulting in a garbled sound.

Press the [SELECT] button on the front panel (page 9) repeatedly to select a an input channel for direct monitoring through the MASTER OUT L & R jacks on the rear panel. Press the switch briefly (less than one second) repeatedly to select monitoring channels in the following sequence: Off → CH1/2 → CH3/4 → CH5/6 → CH7/8 → DIGITAL STEREO -> Off The MONITOR indicator (page 9) for the selected channels lights up red. 3. Adjust the [GAIN] controls for the INPUT channels (to which the musical instruments and microphones are connected) and the [MASTER VOLUME] control. 4. Adjust the [MONITOR VOLUME] control. Monitoring signals are output from the MASTER L & R jacks and the MASTER PHONES jack. The [MONITOR VOLUME] control enables you to adjust the volume of the monitoring signals without changing the recording level (input gain). 17
