10.7ms for the audio signal in -> computer processing -> audio out rout are usable for software monitoring, but it already is not very pleasant. Btw. it's the lowest I can get with my prosumer and professional sound cards. A longer delay IMO can't be used anymore.
An analog mixing console IMO is very helpful to bypass software monitoring, some audio cards also provide an alternativ solution for the monitoring, but as Mike already mentioned, you have to imagine what it does sound. Musicians usually own external gear too, even if I will use a software delay, for the monitoring I could use an external 19" effect. IWO to give tips and tricks, we need to know what exactly you want to do and what your budget is. A cheap analog mixer could be helpful for monitoring and provides a mic preamp. But what exactly is "cheap"? ;) Buy a cheap "this" and a cheap "that" and in the end cheap becomes much money. -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
