Monitoring the SI-24’s inputs The SI-24 does not provide mixing functionality. For this reason, if you want to use the master output or headphones to monitor the sounds that are being sent to the SI-24’s inputs, the sounds that are being input to the SI-24 must be sent back from the computer to the SI-24. Broadly speaking, there are three ways to return the input sounds from the computer. If the computer is not Using the RPC-1’s internal mixer to return the input sound (p. 21) powered-on, y
