Yeah, Yeah, I'm a noob idiot beginner...Is it possible to hear effects while your recording or do I need additional hardware..from my understanding I need an external signal processor? Is that correct. Is there any software that will allow me to hear effects while recording vocals in real time and also adjust (add remove) effects in real-time. Thanks a trillion.

Yes, it's possible. At least if you're using Sonar
You need to activate Input Monitoring. In Sonar 2 you do this under Options -> Audio -> Input Monitoring. In Sonar 3 you click the "Input Monitoring"-button next to the "Arm Track"-button.
BUT you need low latency for this to work, and by low I mean under 5 ms. So a reasonable up-to-date computer and a good soundcard is needed.

Nothing says "you're a good singer" like some reverb on the cans to the vocalist. Minimizing latency
Now that i've solved my first problem, what is the best solution for minimizing this "Mt. Everest Echo" latency problem that I have.. I've read that decreasing the buffers would work..I did check to see that my mic line was muted , is it possible to use 2 sound cards? Is it possible at all to totally eliminate latency? What is the best way to minimize latency? Thanks alot!!

Re: Minimizing latency
The best way to lower latency is by using a quality sound card with good WDM (or ASIO) drivers and a relative decent computer.
You can lower latency both by lowering the buffers and moving the slider to the left in the Mixing Latency Section of Options > Audio > General. Your computer will tell you when you've gone too far, as you will start getting dropouts or funny noises. Remember to reprofile your sound card after making changes.
You can not eliminate latency. However, if you can get it down to 5ms or less, you probably won't hear it.Sirflex10 said:

This thread just saved my sanity.
I was getting pops and snaps that sounded like a poorly-maintianed vinyl album when I used effects. Changed the latency a bit, reprofiled, and WHA-LAH!
I LOVE THIS BBS!
