I wasn't sure if I had posted a subject that was off topic because no one responded, and appologize if that's the case, but I thought it was a relevant question as I am using Audacity to record my project. I thought I had seen a thread on this list referring to ASIO drivers and am wondering if this is that what I should be researching as far as hearing my voice through headphones at the same time I'm speaking into a microphone hooked to a USB interface? Any response would be really helpful; even (shut up and get on topic) would help at this point. Thank you.

I'm getting up the nerve to start a project and just purchased a Lightsnake USB to XLR cord to allow me to use a fairly good microphone. I've finally got the sound set up and can here it through my headphones but it has a delay. Does anyone know how I can set this thing to here what I'm saying at the time I'm saying it? This delay thing really throws me off and I know there's a way to eliminate it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. By the way, I've been collecting all of your excellent advice to use as a quick reference guide for Audacity but don't think I've seen this installment. Thanks and take care. Steve
