Steve, I understand. My mixer is a simple Yamaha MG-10 and the extra one is a Phonic MM-502. I also love the Yamaha so much that I bought one from a friend to have as a spare for gigs, or if mine ever dies.

I would set my system up the same as yours except my mixer is so old it has hums and buzzing sounds that would be adding themselves to my recordings. Must try and save up for a new mixer. It's not external noise it's the age of the circuits.

At the same time I pull a pair of monitor outputs from that mixer and input to my main mixer on one of the stereo channels. My headphones are plugged into the main mixer monitor jack. So I can hear the real microphone mix on one channel pair, or Sonar on another channel pair, or both. It's all external to Sonar, in other words.

Forgive me if my question seems a little Dum. If there is a way of hearing playback and live vocal without the slight delay, that would be fantastic.

However in reality I either monitor directly or using the echo, but never both at the same time.

Not sure whether the new higher spec computers have resolve this.

When he turns it on, or me, will it have a delay? Or is it going to work with out a delay if you're running through a external sound card?

If you then wish to record say your voice on another track, before going to the next track, first make sure that the Arm is off and the Echo is off on the track you've just recorded.
