Other Notes and Tips 
 

Try using the Control Room Source Out (Channels 1 and 2) on the Aux DSub to your two-track source or an 
additional “2 Track” input on your DAW.  This way you can quickly and easily record whatever you are 
monitoring in the control room. The send is pre-fade and chases to whatever you are listening to in the 
control room. Similarly, you can use the Aux in on the same connector as the two-track return. Just make 
sure you don’t cause a feedback loop! 
 
The Digi inputs are a great way to get system audio out of your CPU tower without having to use the 
unbalanced line out. Get your internet and media player audio through your monitor controller in a classy 
way! 
 
Many people ignore the SLS, but lots of singers and bands prefer to record without headphones. Careful mic 
placement and phase flips on doubled tracks can get rid of almost all the bleed. Also, the SLS makes it easy to 
add room tone to recorded tracks! 
 
Make good use of the iDock outs on the Aux I/O Dsub - whenever someone wants to record audio from a 
phone, laptop, mp3 player, or other unbalanced stereo 

” source, you already have it balanced and boosted 

to +4 on those pins!
