Direct Monitoring and building up recordings

[marhdeth]

The recommendation that direct monitoring is turned of is primarily (IMO) so that you will know if you’re audio into JK stops/is not good quality. With direct monitoring you don’t hear what your sending to others, you just hear what the interface gets locally before the computer sees I and packages it to send out.

Quick google, it looks like direct monitoring is set up through the focusrite control software.
