I am using Logic PRO 7 with MOTU Traveler. I recently i turned off "Software monitoring" so that i won't have that small latency in audio the musician hears through BUS channel when he records something. But, turning off "Software monitoring" I can't use a software plug-in when recording. Is there any way I can use a plug-in in that case?

Unless I'm missing something, the whole purpose of the that feature is to turn off any plug-ins that would create a delay in the signal, so I suspect the answer is no. I will be up front in that I can't say that authoritatively. I just strongly doubt it. Kamm

I don't know of any software which gives you best of both in this case. The computer needs the latency time in order to calculate the plugins.... Mike

The entire premise of turning software monitoring OFF is so that you don't monitor through the software, thus incurring latency. So you have to monitor before the software, via hardware. However, Logic8 has a kind of hybrid called "Low Latency Mode". It allows live audio to be rerouted around high-latency effects (but you're still monitoring through the software of course). But in the case of low-latency effects, these can be heard. The manual explains much. f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!" <http://home.goodmedia.com/~zerobeat>

There is a fairly simple way to mix soft "Reverb" into a "direct monitoring" setup. 1. Use up a reverb on a bus insert, as a test use AVerb. Reverb Mix at 100%, predelay OFF. (your audio card's latency acts as predelay) 2. Use an "Input" object, the first send should be set to the bus with the AVerb. Set the bus to "Pre". -The Input object's bus send level is the reverb input level. -The bus level fader is the reverb output level. If a vocal or instrumentalist only needs reverb or echo mixed with direct monitoring, this method works well. Howard
