Rob, I can monitor my sound with no delay in both Sonar and Sound Forge. I
don't know how they do it, but there is definitely no delay.

Neal,

 

I suspect that most programs don't allow this. In any case, anything we
might do would introduce a long delay between the recorded signal and the
played back signal.

 

I don't know anything about your setup besides what you have stated here.
Looks like you are using a Mackie mixer with Firewire. So, if you plug your
headphones into the mixer, I am missing why you can't monitor what your are
recording and hear JAWS at the same time. (I am assuming your mixer is
basically a PC audio device.)

Rob, this is one of the very few things I miss in SR. It may actually be the
only thing. I do wish there was a way to hear what you are recording as you
record through headphones. As it is, I have to plug my headphones into my
mixer to monitor the sound of my voice, then I insert a tiny ear plug under
the headphones to hear JAWS. This is quite cumbersome. I would use Sound
Forge which does allow monitoring of the incoming signal, but it is much
easier to keep up with all the things I need to know while recording when
using SR. I have read the section on monitoring and I don't believe there is
any way for me to do this there. In addition I go into my computer via
firewire. There is a way I can possibly do this in my Mackie mixer, but it
means changing a lot of things around each time I record something with
speech.

 

Any clues how I can do this? Possibly I cannot. If not, is this something
you would consider?

 

Neal
