Connecting the dbx preamp to Input 1/2 is an option, but then I'm getting into a gain staging exercise. I think I'm leaning toward your latter recommendation at this point.
I didn't post a screenshot...:confused:
To sum up what scattered around in the user manual, the Direct Monitoring feature only works for Inputs 1/2 (XLR/Line jacks on front) going to (Main) Outputs 1/2 (1/4" balanced) and Outputs 3/4 (1/4" balanced, no volume control). The Channel drop-down...
I should have mentioned I'm using the Mk1 (see pic above), not the newer Mk2 version.
Yes, using either of the XLR inputs (Inputs 1/2) on the KA6 allows me to monitor the pre-DAW signal directly using headphones on the KA6 without the echo.

This is probably just me learning how things work, but I want to confirm it's me and not the equipment being weird.
I'm using Reaper with my Komplete Audio 6, headphones plugged into the KA6, and direct monitoring on the KA6 turned off. (User manual states the Direct Monitoring feature cannot...
