Operating the G Track
Using the Direct Monitor
The G Track 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
DAW's, including yours, have
when recording and monitoring
simultaneously. Simply stated,
when recording, the DAW 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,
andwhether or not you're using the
DAW's effects, 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 lets you monitor the internal
microphone and line inputs directly
on the headphones without making
the round-trip in and out of the DAW.
As a result you hear the inputs with
no latency.
The G Track's Direct Monitor system
has three modes of operation: CPU,
Mono and Stereo.
CPU Mode
When the Direct Monitor switch is set
CPU, you hear only the playback from
your computer DAW, in stereo, with
no input signal. Use this mode if you
want to hear your DAW's onboard
effects or playback of previously
recorded tracks.
