It depends if you want to hear the effects on the track while monitoring or 
not. If you use direct monitoring, you won't hear the effects.

  Subject: [ddots-l] question about monitoring


  Okay, this is a very rudimentary question. Until now, my studio setup has 
included using a mixer and an audio interface with sonar. However, I'm now 
switching to just using an audio interface as a stand-alone, without a mixer. I 
will be using the RME Fireface 800. The question now arises: should I do my 
input monitoring through sonar, or through the audio interface. My knowledge is 
rather foggy as to exactly what monitoring is used for. So first, what is 
monitoring, and second, when using an audio interface without a mixer, is it 
preferable to do the monitoring through the interface, or through sonar.

  Thank you for any and all input.
