The Reverb Workaroundįortunately there is an incredibly simple solution to the reverb issue. Unless you want to hear that recorded track with a bit of reverb, in real time. The only problem is now you have to mute the track in your DAW so you don’t hear both the real time signal and the signal coming from your DAW. It never leaves the analog domain so you hear it with no delay. The workaround for this problem is to simply make the interface take the incoming analog audio signal (let’s say your vocal) and not only send it to your DAW, but to also immediately route it back to your headphones via a software mixer of some kind. This creates a chorus like, doubled effect that is distracting and annoying for the performer. Because it takes time for your audio to be converted to a digital signal in your interface, run through your software, and then converted back out to analog audio so you can monitor it, by the time sound hits your headphones it’s off slightly from what you’re hearing in real space. Just so we’re all clear, this is how zero latency recording works in most modern audio interfaces. And the good news is that you absolutely can do this. But I get this question a lot: “Can I monitor my zero latency vocal recordings through reverb?” It’s a great question because many singers perform better with a small amount of reverb in their headphones. I love how so many audio interfaces these days allow you to monitor with zero latency when recording. With no lag on the signal, it feels and responds like you’re working with an analog console.
