Question from a newbie to these forums:

I am purchasing an Alesis MultiMix 8USB for home recording on a Turtle beach soundcard. I know, I know, the Turtle Beach is a gamer card, but it's what I have to work with. I currently use a Phonic 4 channel mixer connected to my sound card via RCA to 1/8" plug. I record on Cakewalk Home Studio 2002, and I have obvious latency problems, so I have to turn the monitoring option off. Will this Alesis eliminate this problem because of the USB? I've heard that it can be a pain to route everything to make the mixer act as your soundcard (in essence) but if it means I can monitor both live and previously recorded tracks at the same time via monitors/headphones from the mixer, it's worth it to me. Am I on the right track here, or will this prove not possible? Also, I will probably switch to Cubase LE, which is included with the Alesis. Sorry if this has been discussed, I just need more specific answers. Thanks in advance, and God bless you all!!
 
turn of your software direct monitoring. This will eliminate the echo effect. Even with this off, you will be able to hear audio that you have already recorded. Also, if you have anysort of monitor speakers, have them pluged in to your board, not your sound card. You will be able to hear what your recording and what has already been recorded. HOpe this helps.
 
Excellent... that's what I was hoping to hear... Thanks for the reply!!
