If using reverb, it's a good idea to have 100% wet mix level and reduce the pre-
7
delay in order to compensate for any latency in USB.

Send the output of the software group or bus to USB Device. In this case, and
8

probably with most reverbs, it will be stereo so it will go to left & right.

Set the return level and select USB ON. You can monitor the level quickly by se-
lecting USB RTN on the headphone monitor selection.
You can select the USB return to use the stereo channel 11-12. Or, if using the
10
20
stereo channel for another input route the USB return direct to L-R by leaving this
switch up.
If you are using the stereo channel 11-12 for the USB return signal, then this will be

your effects return (Wet mix) fader for the effects to L-R.

You can then add some reverb for example, to your foldback (artists') monitors to

make them sound great.
