Hearing the microphone input in your headphones is called monitor or monitoring.  WildVoice Studio supports two types of monitor – hardware or software based monitor.
 
Hardware-based monitor requires a sound card that supports a “Master Volume” or “What You Hear” built in hardware mixer.  This enables you to hear yourself as you speak. 
 
The second type, software-based monitor, routes the audio that will be recorded to your Podcast back thru your headphones.  This type of monitoring will represent exactly the volume level and balance that your listeners will hear when they play your Podcast.  This type of monitor plays in your headphones with a small amount of latency or delay. The delay is caused by the time required for the audio to be processed by your computer software before you hear it.  This type of monitoring should be used to check your audio levels and mixer settings before you record. We don’t recommend using the software based monitoring while you are recording a show because the latency will make it confusing for you.
 
 Monitor can be accessed via the Settings button in the Producer Mixer.
