Please let me clear up a few latency issues I was talking about. Of course I know it's possible to get a unnoticeable low latency, I myself do not have latency issues with the RME soundcard. But from experience, seeing a lot of other systems, loads of comments, I just know for a fact that there still are a lot of people that have to deal with problems. Maybe I was a bit on the low side with 4-8 ms, I said those numbers from memory. Let's make it 8-16 ms then :) That's all for now! Cheers!

@driesvanoosten4417 5 жыл бұрын

Paul Davids Good call, I was just about to tell you that a latency of 8 ms is equivalent to standing about 3 meters from you amp. This is in practice what one often does, without problems. 16 ms is 6 meter. This starts to become annoying. That being said, many people complain that no matter how small a buffer they use, they still have latency issues. This often turns out to be a usb problem, where the usb chipset buffer more than the soundcard.

Hi! Could you make a tutorial on mic positions for recording solo acoustic guitar(especialy the ones that could work great in any type of room) and how properly eq and so on. I'm trying to keep things simple. But I'm having serious consistency issues, with some recordings sounding amazing directly out of the zoom h5, just needing to adjust the gain. In other instances some frequencies just come out too hot and unpleasent to hear for long periods of time.

@TheLolthazun 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah. The issue of latency and modelling software. I know exactly what you mean and I'm bloody glad that I don't feel the 5ms of latency anywhere nearly as much as someone like you does. Ola Englund also mentioned exactly the same problem especially when it comes to playing at high tempos, solos for instance. I don't think it's something that can ever be solved. It's a problem that all hardware is naturally going to have. The signal has to travel and be processed. Unless we break the laws of physics we're going to have latency no matter how much the technology we use improves.

@thear1s 5 жыл бұрын

Yes it's often because the reported latency doesn't include all chain members like the USB device itself and effects that may increase the perceived latency very fast.

For anyone starting out on a budget, I highly recommend the Fender Mustang V2 for a plug and play audio interface with basic amp modelling which take the horrid 'direct line in' sound you get. You can also escape the latency issue because you can hear your recording through your amp - rather than your monitor speakers - which is a great option if you like creating and jamming over backing tracks.

Plug your guitar into the amp input, the amp output into the interface input, and the interface to the computer. Use the DAW and under settings you select your audio interface as your audio input. Then create a new audio track (not midi) in the DAW, and on the track settings select which input you'd like to use (1 or 2 if you have a 2 channel interface, 1-4 if you have a 4 channel, etc). Then you should arm the track and record, it should all work out
