Note that when monitoring with the Zero Latency button engaged, you will not hear insert
effects on that channel, as you are monitoring the signal before it is processed in software. If
you need to hear insert effects, do not engage the Zero Latency button.
5.10.4 The Main Output as a Cue Mix
It is possible to designate the main output in Audio I/O Setup as a cue mix. This is helpful if you
often record yourself with a FireStudio-series interface and require quick access to zero-
latency monitoring for live inputs. When the main output is designated as a cue mix, a Zero
Latency button will appear on any audio channel with an assigned audio input in the Console,
below the Mute, Solo, Record, and Monitor buttons.
With the Zero Latency button and Monitor Enable both engaged, you will hear the live zero-
latency input straight from your FireStudio-series interface (not through the software). As
such, you will no longer hear the effects of any inserts on the channel. However, you will still
hear the result of any sends on the channel, as Bus and FX Channels will still output normally.

Some people prefer to place insert effects on Input Channels so that those effects may be
printed to the track while recording. For instance, you might place a compressor, EQ, or other
effect on a vocal Input Channel in order to save time and computer resources later, when
Note that when insert effects are used on Input Channels, and effects are recorded to a track,
there is no way to go back and change the sound of the recording. To avoid this scenario, you
might consider placing effects on the audio channels to which you are recording for
monitoring purposes only and printing with effects at mixdown.

instructions.
To insert an effect on an Input Channel, open the Console and click on
the Inputs tab on the far left to view the Input Channels. If you're
working in the Small Console view, double-click on the Input Channel
to open its Insert Device Rack.
Insert an effect in the Insert Device Rack on any of the Input Channels,
and those effects will be recorded at the input of any track that uses
that source. Studio One will automatically compensate for any latency
caused by the insert effects.
