Maestro Low Latency mixing (continued)

Figure B

By routing the hardware input directly to the hardware output and mixing in playback as shown in

Figure B, it’s possible to provide the vocalist a headphone monitoring signal with a much shorter

delay.

First, the signal being recorded (in this case, a vocal mic) is split just after the A/D stage and routed to

both the software application for recording and directly back to the hardware outputs without going

through the latency-inducing software. This creates a low latency path from mic to headphones. Next,

a stereo mix of playback tracks is routed to the low latency mixer and combined with the hardware

input(s). This allows the performer to hear himself while listening to playback tracks without a

confusing delay in order to comfortably record overdubs.

Note that the software application’s mixer is used to set a stereo mix of playback tracks while the low

latency mixer is used to set the balance between the stereo playback mix and the hardware inputs.
