Topic: A basic UFX direct monitoring question

I just bought a UFX (to use with Cubase 6 on a PC) and have got it mostly set up, I think, except that I have one question about how to set up direct monitoring. 

In Cubase, I’ve checked the direct monitoring box in the Devices setup.  My question: is that all that I have to do in order to enable direct monitoring, or is there also something that I need to do in the TotalMix software to switch it on? I haven’t been able to find anything in TotalMix that mentions it.  (Just to be clear, I think I’ve got everything else routed correctly in TotalMix to record and playback.)

No such option in TotalMix FX. DM starts when you hit the speaker symbol in the Cubase mixer.

Cool! And then once I’m ready to record a track, in order to monitor it as I'm recording, I just click on Phones 1 in the Control Room (which is the jack I’ve got the headphones plugged into), and use the Phones 1 fader to adjust the volume level in the headphones?

No, you control it via the fader in Cubase.
