Thanks Gene for responding. As I said in my last post, I was impressed at the clarity of your tutorial and wondered how you have your set up connected. Do you use a small mixing board connected to your computer or another device that may plug in with a regular pin plug? I know this does not have to do directly with Audacity but does involve an Audacity project. Thanks and take care.

I know almost nothing about the topic and the tiny bit I know I learned by
doing a Google search or two.  I would ordinarily not comment on this
topic but since you receive so little response, I will.

I have not seen the term no latency used when such drivers are discussed.
I have only seen the term low latency used.  That implies that, whatever
you do with these drivers, there will be a delay, even if it is a very
small one. Since these drivers are specifically intended to reduce
latency, it would appear likely that it cannot be eliminated when using a
USB microphone.  I have no idea if the latency you get with the drivers
would be enough to bother you or cause problems when you listen while
recording. You can experiment and find out.

If it is not satisfactory, you can use a microphone that is not a USB
microphone and set your sound card to play the audio from that microphone.
There should be no latency if you do so or no audible latency.

Since I know almost nothing about this subject, I may be wrong and you may
find that you can get such low latency that it won't matter.  but what
I've written here may lead to more comments from others that may be
useful.

Hi Steve,
which version of windows are you using, and which settings in windows have
you changed to be able to hear the microphone though your headphones?

David.

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.

Steve

Hi folks, Steve here. 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
