Recording without the input monitor

Post by arossignol82 »

Hi, I have a Presonus Firebox that came with a software mixer. With the mixer there is zero latency. Great! Except in DP5 whenever I arm a track to record it automatically kicks in the input monitor which has some latency. So while I'm recording everything I play sounds like I'm in a rockabilly group (slapback echo)! How can I get DP not to do this? Thanks.

Welcome on this board arossignol !

In the big DP manual, read carefully chapter 16, "recording".
You'll find everything you need in sub-chapter "audio monitoring".

I've been dreading going through the manual, but I'm sure there are a few other things I could pick up along the way :wink:! I thought I'd try here first. Thanks anyways!

You probably don't even have to mess with the big, scary manual. The answer that you need is probably in the Getting Started Guide.
