Love this concept. It never occurred to me. I've always just put a reverb on the channel itself at 100% wet, then removed it later. Problem I have is I need compression when I sing. So I just get my buffer size as low as possible, enable that button, I forgot what it's called, that turns off all your high latency effects, and put cubas's compressor and roomworks SE directly on the channel with the reverb mix at like 20%. Or sometimes I just use the mono delay. It works well. This does require a more modern computer though with the proper power.

yes thanks, and its amazing how cubase changed (pre/post) that lil 'fader slider' to that lil 'half moon' after the SX version, NOT! Now I alway's have to think. When opdates are not always better

It’s not that you avoid the latency by using this technique, the latency is still the same. It’s just that when the signal pass through a 100% wet effect the latency acts as a predelay and you can’t hear it. You could put the effect as an insert on the record channel as well, set it to 100% wet, push the monitorbutton and the channelfader would then act as a “reverb amount fader” just like the send level does in your example. But the signal goes in to your interface, gets recorded and are sent back out to the headphones in both scenarios so the latency is the same, just masked by the reverb.

That´s great... I have an RME UCX with DSP FX inside, but I really don´t like them. With this solution I´m far more happy! Thanks a lot

Maybe down the road you can do a “Am I Committed?” Episode, talking about committing eq, compression, fx etc while recording vs after the fact in your daw or hardware setup, might be a good one for ya! :)

So It Would Not Work With Auto Tune Pitch Correction Plugin ? Thanks And One More Question What If You Audio Interface Does NOT Have a Direct Monitoring Button And The Direct Monitoring Button Is Grayed Out ? I Have Been Trying To Figuer This Out Foreve
@Featherlightstudio6 ай бұрын
Most smaller interfaces have either a Direct monitor button OR and Mix knob that does the same thing but gives you more mix control. Or they have a software control panel that allows more flexible routing options but produces the same result.

perhaps a dumb question, but which fader are you manipulating? the lead vocal channel or the aux fx send?
@Featherlightstudio10 ай бұрын
There's no dumb questions in audio for sure, the lead vocal channel.

Great video! I know it's been asked by @KenFoxmusic for his interface but there's no direct monitor option on my UR22mkII as well any advice please.
@Featherlightstudio8 ай бұрын
The 'Mix" knob on your UR22mkII works the same as a direct monitoring button, just more control over the Computer/Direct audio.

Also, I forgot to ask), Once you have the reverb and delay plugin's set up how do you access them again to tweek the settings?
