You can use the table above as a guide to the mapping between ASIO out-
puts and DAW FireWire channels when you want to adjust the direct rout-
ings in the Output Patchbay Router.
C HANNEL E NABLES
ASIO supports enabling and disabling channels. Some hosts do this auto-
matically (e.g. Digital Performer), some hosts provide manual controls
(Cubase, Nuendo), and other hosts do not provide explicit control for
enabling and disabling channels. In order to reduce CPU load, Mobile I/O’s
ASIO driver takes notice of disabled channels by skipping processing for
those channels. For applications that provide manual control over enabled
channels, you will get the best performance if you only enable the channels
you need. For applications that automatically maintain the enabled chan-
nels, you will get the best performance if you only assign channels to out-
puts you really want to use, and only record enable channels that you intend
to record on.
