Did you ever come across this? I reduced the latency but it will only go so far until it screws up. Help!
There is an unavoidable latency with Isis
When you mix, you can't hear it. Normally it automatically moves recorded parts to where they should be, but when things have been running hot, I've had to manually move parts forward. ('cause you hear them late, so sing late)
However, go into the audio system menu and switch on "global disable". Too hear the direct sound back through headphones you need to go to the souncard menu and increase direct level from the desired input. (if I recall correctly..... I've done so much platform swapping lately)
The way your input chain is working (mic - preamp - compressor - Isis), to hear stereo you need to split the single output (from the compressor) into TWO inputs, using the grey 1 stereo jack to two mono jacks. Record only one as usual, but use both to monitor. There doesn't seem to be a panning option unfortunately.
Using he Isis menu you can set level to tape independently from monitoring level.
It sounds more complex than it actually is, but is an unfortunate limitation I managed to work around.
Even with MOTU/VST here there is a 48 millisecond latency. I monitor through the desk, and hear back through the P.C.
With Protools/Digidesign of course there is no audible latency, but then protools is heaven [img]smile.gif[/img]
