/ s, Z. B5 q9 J3 f4 P1 ^DirectMonitoring for Mia is a little tricky. Cubase (or any other ASIO program) doesn’t know e5 [( K' q! |7 x/ P" i/ P
about Mia’s virtual outputs; it just sees Mia as four inputs and eight outputs. Unfortunately, Mia’s
' U7 d4 o, t% ~% T5 `6 Umonitor mixer can only route real inputs to real outputs, and there is no obvious way to convert

2 |& E/ q, U' mTherefore, if you are doing DirectMonitoring with Mia, the input will be simultaneously sent out # }) E; A2 @* R6 C

( o6 L$ m& x' H- KWhen you run Cubase, you may not see some of your outputs. This is probably due to the fact & {% f% l* @6 a2 x
that another program is using them. The most likely culprit is the Microsoft wavetable

This is because we support ASIO 2.0 Direct Monitoring. Direct Monitoring gives Cubase control & u5 V2 G6 F2 L8 g' @1 V* |
over the hardware monitors. When Cubase starts up, it uses DirectMonitoring to mute that

should have all your monitors muted at first and then enable them within Cubase in the Channel

If you don’t like this behavior, you can always go to Options/Audio Setup/System…., click on 5 B! L5 C% a: k9 \2 g" A
“ASIO Control Panel” and uncheck the box labeled “Enable ASIO 2.0 Direct Monitoring”. This will
