- Add your ASIO driver. Right-click the canvas → ASIO Channels → Add ASIO driver…, pick your interface and click Open Device. (No ASIO interface? Use your microphone and speakers from the WDM/MME folder instead and skip this step.)
- Add the input. Right-click → ASIO Channels → Input → the channel your microphone is on.
- Add the outputs. Right-click → ASIO Channels → Output → your speakers' left channel, then again for the right. Each ASIO channel is its own mono node.
- Connect. Drag from the input's port to each output's port, or click one port and then the other.

To change a connection's level, click the wire: its inspector sets gain from -60 dB to +36 dB. Alt + click resets it to 0 dB.
Save with ⋮ → Save. On Free the canvas starts empty at every launch; see Sessions and State.
Nothing heard? Watch the meters: a still input meter means the wrong channel; a still output meter means the wire is missing. Crackling means the buffer is too small - raise it in the toolbar.
