Pr3Va1L Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I was wondering about something... some of you talk about getting an interface and such to avoid latency: Could I get a mixer and plug the line out in my sound card, and then plug the mixer into monitors?

Certainly! An audio interface often is a sound card but can also be USB or Firewire and not a card. In anycase as long as the monitors are powered, yep!

guitarchump Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Just remember on board sound cards and even the higher end entertainment cards like creatives x-fi dont have the best conversion componenets as well as suffer from latancy problems. Your best bet for a nice clean recording is a good interface, it doesnt even have to be fancy. there are plenty of firewire ones on the market that are amazingly good for there price. I just want people to understand that its almost the most important part of your recording system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely-- if you're using plug-in effects you'll still get latency, but if you're recording something dry, something with outboard FX, or a mic'd guitar amp, that's a good way to defeat latency issues.

guitarchump Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Remember you can always add the Plugins later when your mixing down and mastering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
