I recently bought the 1814 and PT M-Powered 6.8r2 for my 1.67ghz Powerbook G4. I was wondering if with this setup if you can use the "Direct Monitoring" option on the M-Audio control panel mixer to use input monitoring, to avoid the latency in the ProTools software. It says in the manual that ProTools bypasses the inputs on the software mixer. Just curious, since I haven't been able to try it out myself, due to time constraints. Also, is it possible to monitor the inputs direct(including ADAT or SP/DIF?), while having a send on a particular input/track to an effect and monitor it back while recording?(unlike the Digi 001/002 in which the low-latency monitoring feature disables all sends). any input here would be appreciated, since I got this to be a really portable setup, to avoid using a mixer. Thanks.
