Bias amp 2 only 1 side output2/4/2024 ![]() i think I’m gone lay down a nice drum track (soft synth) and play some guitar on top and record this. They are pluged into the apollo (of course, why else buy the thing) I play around with the plugins until i get a sound of which i think great! So now i want to record something. I have plugins (inserts) in the apollo console (like the marchall, a compressor, a delay and the neve 10 73). It seems i have been unclear and unprecise in my question. The relative volume level between the recorded tracks you are listening to and the new track you are adding can be controlled at your DAW’s stereo output gain control. Afterwards you can listen on your monitor speakers. The solution is to use headphones when recording additional tracks. If you use your monitors (speakers) while adding new tracks through a mic you will get feedback. Your Apollo and its driver software are designed to make this easy. You will actually monitor through the interface, by plugging headphones into the interface’s headphone jack(s), and not by listening to the computer’s core audio at its headphone jack. The microphone or guitar attaches to the interface, and the interface takes care of the latency problem. To solve this problem, you monitor through the Apollo. If you plug headphones into the computer and sing into the computer’s microphone, and strum the guitar, and you will hear the music out of sync with your singing and playing of the guitar. So, the computer alternates between tasks, and puts the next thing it needs to do into a buffer to hold that part of the file until the computer’s CPU can get to it a fraction of a second later. And the operation of the computer causes it to need to do multiple tasks. The computer’s CPU can only do one thing at a time. This latency happens with all computers, because of the way a computer processes data. ![]() ![]() If you wear headphones to hear yourself while recording, what you will hear is your singing, and/or your guitar playing a half a second or more later than the actual singing, or the actual strumming of the guitar. Why? All computers produce an audio latency when you plug a microphone directly into the computer, either by using a USB port or a tiny microphone jack on the side of the computer. The solution is to monitor with your headphones plugged into the Apollo. If you monitor your DAW, you will hear latency.
