Monitoring help, please?
I'm missing something very simple, I know it.
Focusrite Sapphire Pro 40 interface...
The software controlling the interface is set to make all audio inputs direct out as well as recording into Reaper. I monitor all recording in real time with no latency.
The problem comes when it's time to punch in or overdub. In order to eliminate the latent audio signal coming from Reaper, I have to switch off the main output from my record channel in the Routing/Grouping Matrix. (Remember, I'm hearing the direct out in the phones from the audio interface.)
Switching off the channel output in the matrix is easy. The problem comes when the singer wants me to play back the latest take. In order for her to hear the take in the phones I have to switch on the main channel output. So now we have both the direct out and the latent out from Reaper in the phones. It's also a bit loud...
What am I missing?
For clarity...
Record vocal using direct out from audio interface to eliminate latency.
Turn off Reaper output of record channel using routing matrix so musician only hears direct out.
Playback time=now I must turn on the channel output so the musician can hear what he just played.
I won't be surprised if no one responds. This is probably so basic...
Thanks,
TT
