Latency is the delay introduced in any digital system that must process the signal Direct Monitoring is routing scheme that allows you to listen to the signal that is routed directly to the speakers, avoiding entirely the signal sent through the DAW to be recorded. You normally opt to avoid being 'downwind' of the signal that must travel through the computer. When you are playing and recording the Montage or you are singing or playing a guitar into a microphone, you will typically opt to monitor (listen) to yourself DIRECT (zero latency).

This system setup does not use the computer's own sound system. This assumes that your Montage is connected to a pair of high quality monitor speakers. The MONTAGE via USB becomes both a MIDI and AUDIO interface for itself and one external device. And while there are minor differences in the screenshots between Mac and PC, again the function is the same in both. ![]() This GUIDE will give you the basic setup and will apply, in general, to both Cubase Pro or Cubase AI. These can be obtained from the official Yamaha download site: Please take a moment to read through the documentation, as it will take you through each step of the process. These downloads come zipped with instructions. You should also make sure you have the latest firmware update for your MONTAGE (Currently, that is 1.60.x). (Currently, that is 1.9.9 on Windows, and 1.9.10 on Macintosh). You will need to download and install the most recent "Yamaha Steinberg USB driver" for your computer operating system. The MONTAGE will communicate both MIDI and audio bi-directionally via a single USB connection. The video below is a great accompaniment to this article. Learn more here about MONTAGE and Cubase.
