![]() ~25 years ago, I was hired to tech some sessions in Nashville (Memphis Horns, Terry McMillan, Tabitha Fair, etc). but it was spartan compared to what's available now. When my career started, we had to monitor off the console (while tracking) to avoid 10-12ms latency.Īt that time, some PCI audio interfaces offered hardware based monitoring. It's a subject that I'm extremely familiar with. ![]() In my case the measured roundtrip latency with Helix Native is 11.3ms and without is 11ms, that's slightly longer than the driver reported roundtrip of 7.6ms in my DAW settings (which might not be accurate in the first place) and totally fine for live voice or guitar monitoring, in my personal experience of course.ĮDIT: With buffer size of 128 samples I get 8.7ms measured analog roundtrip latency.Ĭlick to expand.I've been dealing with DAW related latency issues for ~30 years. A test you can do in your DAW is to use a simple digital delay set to 100% wet with no repetitions so you can simulate latency and check what value starts to bother you if the current roundtrip latency of your DAW is imperceptible.Īnother test I like to do with DAW guitar plugins is I loop the processed output to a second input with a patch cable, quickly tap the guitar input plug with metalic object and measure the sample distance between the two inputs, this automatically removes one AD+Buffer stage when measuring and gives you real world Analog-In to Analog-Out value or what you actually experience when playing.
