is there any way to monitor the incoming signal immediately after its recorded. i remember in the old days this problem was solved on the analog decks with a third head and the signal was monitored immediately after it went on to tape. sound card is creative sb audigy plat. i have my mixer recording control setting at “analog mix” on this card. other mtr software installed :
n tracks, power tracks, and band in a box.
thanks

Jan 02, 2008 07:39 pm My co-writer uses one of those Audigy thingys . His has a breakout box that has separate sends for monitoring real-time, and those go to the amp/monitors . I'm pretty shure there is no foldback to his system, but he does use a 'lil mixer for inputs .

Jan 03, 2008 09:26 pm Depending on the software most of the higher end software has the ability to monitor in real time. You will find that it is best to have a very fast system that is capable of a very low latency though. Like less the 8ms. Otherwise the echo will distract you.
What recording software are you running and what is the PC set up like?
Jan 05, 2008 01:34 pm recording sw- ihave installed (but have not been using in this project) n tracks, powertracks, and band in a box 2004.
pc: win xp prof, 512 mb ram, amd athlon
xp (2.01 GHz), creative sb audigy
platinum
hookup - going from output of reel to
reel deck > patchbay > soundcard in-
put.
project: record tunes from rxr to hard
disk, run through D A R T to clean
up and remove clicks & pops and
burn to CD
ps thanks for the reply. i posted on
several boards - yours was the only
one i recd.

Jan 05, 2008 11:54 pm There should be an option but I'm not certain of were in that software as i don't use it. Anyway the option should be there to allow you to direct the input signal right to the output of the sound card. It may however introduce some latency/delay with the sound card you are using. You might just be best off monitoring direct from the interface.
