New to the forum
But was reccomended to me as the best place for help.
I've been a casual recorder for a long time from 4 track casette to 8 track digital decks.
I've recently took the plunge into the world of DAW.
Brief summery of set up is as follows:
Mac G5 Dual 2.5g Ram
Running Pro Tools MP
M Audio Audiophile 410
Tapco Mix 120
Art Tube Preamp
Line 6 Pod
& Oxygen 8 M Audio Midi Keyboard
With this collection of equipment, my recordings are becoming more and more sophisticated and I don't regret the move to DAW, the world of Plug ins and Virtual instruments is immence, so I've no regrets...
... well, apart from one.
The latency issue.
All my reserch on line has been a very casual "you can sort out the latency issue simply by using a mixer" answer.
Now as a singer, I need to hear what I'm singing as I sing, like I did in casette and hard disc recording. This is the main reason I purchased the Tapco mix120.
I've hooked up the mixer to the 410 as per the diagram provided.
I dose'nt work. I can either hear what I'm recording from the mac with latency, or what I'm recording with no music, making my overdubs hell.
I've played with the wiring a bit and all I seem to achieve is feedback. Which would be great if this was 1986 and I was in The Jesus and Mary Chain.
Could someone please help in perhaps pointing out where I'm going wrong.
I saw another thread while searching this forum that asked a similar question to this, that was locked... So I hope I'm not asking a for the wrong kind of advice here.
Many many thanks in advance
