Topic Live software effects possible?
Hello all,

I am new to this site. Is it possible to have 8 recording channels with live software effects on each (0 latency?). I am trying to setup a new studio. What sound cards should I look at to be able to do this?

Thanks!

There's no such thing as zero latency when processing thru a pc/software combination, sorry. The best I've seen was in the range of about 5 milliseconds, and that was thru a Pro Tools system.

If you really need zero latency, the best you can do is go thru an analog mixer, pass thru analog effects into an analog multitrack.

Try going to this site - https://www.soundonsound.com/sos/Sep02/articles/pcmusician0902.asp and - https://www.soundonsound.com/sos/apr04/articles/pcmusician.htm if you want to know more about pc latency and dsp-induced latency.

Hope this helps!
