The G-Track Pro has a simple, yet sophisticated direct monitor system, which
provides zero latency monitoring.
What’s Latency, and what’s Zero Latency, and why do I need it?
Latency is the delay time between record and playback that all computer
software has when recording and monitoring simultaneously. Simply stated,
when recording, the computer software needs to recognize the input signal,
then crunch a bunch of numbers and then send the signal through to the
output. Depending on several factors like the speed of your computer, the
amount of tracks you’ve recorded, and whether or not you’re using the effects
in the software, this can take a few to several milliseconds. A delay of several
milliseconds can sometimes make it hard for a musician to play on time. To solve
this problem, the G-Track Pro lets you monitor the internal microphone and line
inputs directly on the headphones without making the round-trip in and out of
the computer. As a result you hear the inputs with no latency.
MONITOR ON/OFF Switch
When listening back to your recording during a mixing session, or if you want
to only hear the G-Track Pro’s inputs after it has gone through your computer
software effects, you may want to turn the Direct Monitor off. To turn the Direct
Monitor off, move the DIRECT MONITOR switch on the rear of the G-Track Pro
to the OFF position, you hear only the playback from your computer software,
in stereo, with no input signal. To enable the Direct Monitor, set the DIRECT
MONITOR switch to the ON position. If you plan to use direct monitoring on the
G-Track Pro, disable software monitoring for the armed (input) tracks.
