HOW CAN I AVOID THE DELAY? My own 10 cents are to use some closed back headphones and/or to diminish the delay, perhaps by listening to my singing directly from the pc, but I think it is not possible (easily at least) since now the sound card of the MOXF is activated. SO my question at this point is this: I hear some echo but I assume it owes to the headphones being semi open so I hear my voice twice (well also through the skull of course) and due to there being some delay since my singing has to pass through the moxf then to the DAw then back to the moxf and into my headphones. But I turned the direct to monitor off as said. Normally I beliee there would be an echo due to hearing both the DAW in the headphones (which are plugged into the MOXF not the PC) as well as hearing the direct to headphones/loudspeakers signal. If not I would not be able to hear myself singing or the backing track for that sake. It is very unnatural for me to sing in a closed room, although I discovered I was pressured to improve my voice under bad unnatural conditions, such as the restraints imposed by lack of quality (not the best headphones etc.).Į) I have turned up the DAW gain on the MOXF of course. I wonder if they ought to be closed and then apply the reverb, THUS COMPENSATING FOR THE LACK OF ECHO PERTAINING TO CLOSED BACK HEADPHONES. THe reverb of the insert effect on the MOXF is set to Thru (only option if no selection).ĭ) I listen to my singing and the backing track in CUbase with some semi open headphones.

Thus the signal has to go through the DAw before being heard.ī) I have turned the Monitor button (megaphone icon) to on for the track.Ĭ) I have applied some reverb as an insert effect by clicking the E button for the track. SO what I have done is to put on some headphones connected to the MOXF, then in the DAW I record the Mic/vocal track like this:Ī) I have turned off the direct output to monitors/headphones on the MOXF. However I wish to sing while listening to some reverb of the DAW: Cubase 9.5 (I was going to update it to 10 but there was some delay) It's turned off.Ģ) I want to record the DRY vocals. Hence I have this setup:ġ) I apply some compression already to the vocals at the MOXF8 stage.

I am focusing on optimizing my vocal recordings.
