Not that it's usually a problem unless you end up going nuts with the effect chains, but just something to be aware of.Īll of the above might sound somewhat confusing at this point, but you don't need to digest it all to get your setup going. There's still one further caveat, which is that if you want to monitor through some nice effect plugins, those generate variable amounts of latency as well. So, the point is - at 10ms (and you can get under), you basically won't hear the difference between the direct and the DAW signal. You'll hear that it's "different" below 35ms, though - but going below about 20ms the two sounds - the original source and the latency-delayed version of the sound through the DAW - start to blend into what's more of a slightly different "feel" rather than distinctly two separate sounds. Getting around ~10ms is pretty easy these days - the human ear can only really start to distinguish between two separate sounds above about ~35ms, after all.

Yeah, basically if the device has a "direct monitoring" option, that's always closest to actual "zero latency", but nowadays the audio interfaces and their drivers offer (very much) good enough performance for the latency involved not to matter when monitoring through your DAW. complicated to look up and understand.Īnyways! thanks for reading and any ideas on interfaces, cheers For now I guess I can be happy with just a simple audio interface (since I dont have any other external hardware yet) but I'm wondering if something like the audiobox or 2i2 scarlett will be sufficient for that future plan or if i will need a new soundcard for all that too or how it works. If anyone can explain how that all works simply would be appreciated. Would i plug the mic into the usb interface and then have the fx processor outputted/inputted from the audio interface outputs and maybe the midi too? or does it output after the chain from the computers sound card and do i need a soundcard with a bunch of outputs to use an external processor? Or would you go directly into the processor and then output that into the interface? If i had an effects processor where does it fit in to the chain? I just am really confused about the routing of all that. I notice that the Focusrite Scarlett 8i8has more line outputs and inputs than the cheaper scarlett 2i2 or the Audiobox (which only have a single output L/R output i think). I have no idea about how external fx chains work, with sends/returns/midis/etc. Any ideas are greatly appreciated, thanx.įor the future, I have plans to get an external fx processor and I am wondering if additional audio outputs should be something to consider.
#USB AUDIO INTERFACE LOW LATENCY UPGRADE#
I just want to upgrade from this crude method to a usb digital interface and am trying to decide whats a best solution. Currently im just running my mic directly into sound card and there is no latency using asio this way and i can add as many plugin fx as i want without any latency.
#USB AUDIO INTERFACE LOW LATENCY SOFTWARE#
I use fl studio and my main concerns are whether or not i will be able to monitor the signal in the DAW's mixer without latency, so i can hear it back and record live with whatever software plugin fx im adding over the signal. so far the focusrite scarlett and presonus audiobox are seeming the best. ive been researching into whats currently available on the cheaper end market for usb 2.0 interfaces. I can not detect any lag at this point.Hey all. To jam, I use Toontrack's host, Solo, which will allow 64 sample buffer.

Some software will limit your minimum buffer, for instance Pro Tools M-Powered is limited to 128, but I find that acceptable for recording. then plug your headies and/or speakers into the fast track outputs and you're away.I am using the Fast Track Ultra and the minimum buffer is 64 samples, you can't choose 80. In regard to the MIDI, you just run a midi cable out of the module into the back of the fast track. then plug your headies and/or speakers into the fast track outputs and you're away.
my 10 year old creamware luna II pci soundcard has lower latency than my fast track, but I wanted the flexibility of USB - I can use my setup with any laptop. One thing to note, the most recent drivers limit the minimum sample buffer size to 128 samples, whereas previous drivers allowed 80.Īnother option for low latency is to investigate pci-e cards. It also has the stereo input so I can record the outputs of my module if I want, or record 1 vocals + 1 guitar. from what I've read here and elsewhere other people have achieved better than I have, but I'm pretty happy with the feel of it. If you are not going to use the inputs, and only want to jam a VST, then you can crank it up to 96KHz which roughly halves the values I mentioned above.

my pc is a decently equipped amd x4955 w/ 4gb ram and win7.64. at 44.1KHz I get roundtrip 8ms in cubase, and around 4ms in kontakt.
