Blue Yeti and monitoring latency

Post by massimosammi »

Hi,
I bought a Blue Yeti mic, and it works great if I just plug it in my Mac and plug my headphones in the Yeti, I have zero latency.
When I launch DP and I set up Yeti as main input and output in my HW driver, it works like every other USB mike, so the monitoring it affected by the buffer latency.
I was hoping to have zero latency by plugging the headphones directly into the Yeti.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks!!
Massimo

If you're monitoring the output of the driver, this is unavoidable.

I don't know this mic so I don't know if you can monitor the input while running DP but that is what you want to do. Your other choice is to see if you can make it work with CueMix.

In DP, go to Studio > Audio Patch Thru and set it to off, or just disable the play button for the track when recording.
