The actual digitising takes place in your sound device, and the signal's then streamed out of a digital connection (usually USB) into the computer. That's why direct monitoring is available on the vast majority of external devices, and those that don't support it aren't worth having.
They make these products for professional soundmixers, like myself, but forget the simple things like a bypass for RT monitoring.Īnd you are clearly not a master of how audio processing works in a computer, are you? It is simply not possible to provide a straight-through path through any computer without latency, even if it's a relatively low value. It's so bad, the way it's set up now, that you're better off recording a VO into a $20 48k piece of software that does no processing, then do your final mixes, effects, sweetening in expensive Audition. It would be easy to add a simple in/out and have next to 0 delay or latency. It's stupid because there is no option for this.that's my point. It would be a USB or BNC cable bypass proof signal, skipping all of the processing and leaving that to the sweetener/mixer. It should not be a processed signal, a simple bypass output, like a digital audio board, would be perfect, and should be an option. It's a reference signal to hear tonage, inflection, emotion, and diction. It's not for a VO Artist's final assumption of his takes.
and just give you a passthrough signal with 0 processing. Its stupid, because it could just bypass the all of the encoding, source creation, sample rate conversion, etc. Unfortunately, if you're using the built in sound card on your computer, you'll almost certainly be limited to what's known as MME drivers which involves your Windows in the audio path and limits how low you can go without getting glitches on your recording. You can minimise latency to a degree with the control in Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware. But.and it's a big but.your sounds will be doing a round trip via your computer which will introduce latency (delay) in the signal It'll depend how sensitive your son is to this whether you can get away with it or not-but above a certain delay time it's almost impossible to keep talking if you voice comes back too far after. As an example, something like an Alesis i02 sells for about $100 and lets you do this.įailing that, you can hear what Audition is recording by doing your programmes in Multitrack sessions (there are other good reasons to do this as well) and click on the little "I" symbol in the control box at the left end of the track you're recording in.
This will allow you to hear the mic before it even gets to the computer.
Ryclark is spot on-the easiest (but not cheapest) way to do this would be to get a USB interface containing "Direct Hardware Monitoring".
