OK, I think I figured out how to do this without having to duplicate your FX chain on the 2 tracks. It will work on record, playback, and punch. You need 3 tracks. One for the actual recording, one for the input monitoring, and a 3rd as an FX channel. Set up the first 2 tracks as Kenny described. Then on the recording track, create a send to the FX channel. On the record monitoring channel, create a send to the FX channel AND take it out of the master parent send. On the FX channel, add your desired reverb, delay, etc. and set everything to 100% wet. Then change the level of the FX channel to taste. When recording, the input monitoring channel generates the FX, with the direct monitoring providing the dry sound. When playing back, the recording channel handles both. Using an FX send like this also is useful when you need to record multiple vocal lines. Then you don't have to have the same FX chain on all channels, saving CPU.

Kenny, your lack of BS is proverbial. Thanks

You are always saving us and teaching us that there is nothing we can't do in Reaper. Thanks a lot, sir!

Well, the wet signal will still be delayed. That's obviously not a problem for simple reverb stuff on vocals, but for timing specific stuff like delay effects on guitar, I don't think this will work very well.

If you _need_ specific delay timing for tracking, a delay pedal might be worthwhile. EDIT: Another commenter mentioned using a Line6 interface with built-in amp modeling. Perhaps it has delay FX as well?

@kennygioia7184

If it's a timing delay, you could just alter the FX ONLY track by reducing it's delay by the amount of latency you're getting. But don't do the same to the track you're recording to.

@@kennygioia7184 Yes, but my point is that it's physically impossible to get an accurate no-added-latency signal from the FX-track if said effects cause any form of delay on their own. I am being a bit of a stickler for semantics, here. Practically speaking your example is a really good way of working around the problem. And if you really need that accurate real time representation of the signal, it's probably best to invest in dedicated gear so that your input signal is pre-processed :)

In the FX chain window, near the bottom, there are two numbers that indicate latency with the individual plugins. Is it safe to say that as long as that number is 0/0 you’re only limited to interface latency? I’m successfully recording and monitoring fairly heavy FX chains and software instruments, all using plugins that are 0/0 on the ms latency. It’s a easy way to figure out what plugins cause latency. Some plugins can be put on low latency settings which reaper properly detects as 0/0. I hope this makes sense. Great video just trying to see if my method is going to cause some micro latency problems that I’m unaware of (for example: things recording at micro latencies of 0.015x or something slightly slower than than the grid, etc) Maybe there is a setting that optimizes recording even if the computer momentarily experiences a latency problem. One of my favorite parts of reaper is being able to effortlessly add and remove things without any hiccups but it can happen theoretically

Again dude, you come up with what I've been looking for for weeks. I'm so glad I bought Reaper. :) Great job dude.

This has helped me a lot. I've been struggling as a new guy to the DAW world with latency. I have drums playing in reaper and trying to record guitars in sync has always had me playing behind the drums. Great method.

Jesus man, I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out. Seriously thank you so much, and I'm so glad I found your channel.

Kenny your a life saver, I always learn something different when I watch your tuts. Thanks a bunch!!

Very clear instructions and well executed visuals, thank you. As has been noted, the fx chain still has latency but it's still better than working with a dry signal. There's many benefits to working digitally in a computer, but sometimes I yearn for a good ol' analogue record chain!

With the no-latency FX-only track approach, the DAW reverb would only apply on the "wet" signal from the delay FX (dry fader is at 0, so no dry signal passed to reverb), as opposed to the dry + wet mix. So the effects you hear back aren't "exactly" the same, in my view (to those a bit confused by this, as per comments); there'd be a noticeable difference. Still a very good idea though, of course, and better than nothing...

This is the absolute best video explaining direct monitoring and work around thank you so much.

I have been searching for a way to put effects on the direct monitoring signal. This is the best solution I have seen. Thank you!!!

Always look forward to your posts. Awesome tutorials!!

I went to try this today and when I did the test, it was already perfect lol. Guess I got lucky but I really appreciate your videos. Just scratching the surface with Reaper and I am loving it the more I find I can do

Thank you, Kenny. This was exactly what I needed to know.

ya, i figured out the hard way, to listen to the recorded tracks dry and mute as many tracks as possible, while i sync the next track i am recording from the input monitor. i'm glad you have come to a similar conclusion. I have a scarlett 2i4 which has that mix knob. it's 1st gen and that pot is getting worn out because after level-setting, i dont touch anything else but back and forth with the mix knob as i create the song. Also, I definitely use the ASIO drivers. they are by far the fastest on my windows PC.

Wouldn’t the wet track you created just to hear the effects in real time have latency like before? I understand that you hear your input real time, but I’m confused at to how the wet effects have zero latency in the software.

@robertbrown2728

I'm not expert but my understanding is that you're right, but I think the idea is that you can tolerate the latency in the wet effects if you're also hearing the source with zero latency. I've tried it with my guitar, and, it's not ideal if you're very bothered about your sound while you're playing, but it's sort of ok - and better than playing with either no effects or with latency on everything.

I think it's no biggie to have, say, 13ms latency in a Reverb (it would just add 13ms to the predelay, which is not much). What musicians go apeshit about is hearing their own DRY vocal with 13ms latency.

Great video and so helpful. Thanks Kenny be safe.

Great video as always, Kenny. Your knowledge has been invaluable to me... Question: If using the above steps for zero latency, does the recorded track (direct monitoring) print the effect, and if does, am I able to turn off the effects later during post processing? In other words have the track dry to process further.

I learned stuff I can use, thanks Kenny

Thanks for this, really helped me as a beginner.

Thanks Kenny for this helpful video! Since the topic is related to recording on audio interfaces, do you have any advice on how to get rid of clicks and pops in the recording? I noticed that it doesn't happen when recording DI instruments like guitar and bass but always happens when recording vocals. Thanks.

Thank you, this helped me a lot. I can't even stand 10ms latency when recording. :)

wow that sounds like a great trick but I can't understand how these effects being sent back to the monitoring headphones would not be delayed? or it doesn't really distract the singer / guitarist, as long as they can hear dry without latency + reasonably delayed effects?

@Adam-hs1ft

The latter would be correct. Reverb usually has pre-delay, so it likely won't be noticeable, and pre-delay settings can be adjusted to compensate if need be.

Yes, I also really enjoy them. Just a hint: Wouldn't it make sense to rename this video to Live Perfomance/recording or Direct Monitoring? Guess.. that would be easier to search for, since I was looking for such a scenario myself and was coincendentally stumbling over this one here :D Keni to me is the lord of Reaper. Unbeliveabe what he das done!

This defo works for vocals, because you inevitably get a delay with either the reverb or delay effect Vs the dry signal. For Amp sims this is a bit awkward, especially heavily distorted guitars. If you have any suggestions or wanna make a video for that, would be most welcome to a lot of users! I cant think of any viable solution other than a DI box with splitter, having one signal going to a Pocket POD for example, which you feed to one input and use that as the direct monitoring, and then have the 2nd output as pure DI signal straight to audio interface. But this is a bit of a faff. And some users out there might only have 1 input on their audio interface.

@matthewward5813

I have used a pod xt live. There is no latency if used with a usb cable and you can choose to record only the direct dry signal but here all of your effects such as distortion and etc... while recording. Then use amp sims to run on the dry guitar sound. Or if you really like the effected signal with the pod xt just record the effected signal. It works a lot better than recording a DI signal through an audio interface such as focusrite or others...

Perfect! Thank you so much

You are the man!!

Everytime I watch one of Kenny's videos, I wanna hear the full song!

Very useful! I have been struggling with guitar amp modeling software to work due to the high latency. It's great to know that there is a work around that allows me to use zero latency. Will try it out today with my steinberg ai. I wonder if this would help with the latency issues experienced by using handy zoom recorders like the H4NPro as an audio interface? The problem with those is that they do allow monitoring, but you can't change the levels. I'll try it out and comment.

Wow, I don't know about this lol, Im starting to love Reaper more. I never used my audio interface HP this way, I always plug via laptop audio out. Thanks!

thanks for this awesome tip

You're a genius!

Wow thanks for this

Kenny thanks! I had this problem today and found this vid, I was so lucky. Please can you explain how it works? the effect also uses the signal that goes in and out the daw, how is it that there is no latency monitoring this way?

@guddaboi

The effects will still have the same latency, but it will be easier to time vocal recordings as the dry vocal will have no latency at all, only the FX. Otherwise your entire vocal take would have been delayed with xx ms, making it harder to time when to start singing/rapping. I agree that this works perfectly when recording vocals, when recording instruments it might be problems with timing.

3.5 minutes in, and my problem is already solved!

This helped my sound started cutting out when I put the latency to low.

Interesting idea. I am wondering if it would be the same (and maybe easier) if we use direct monitoring and also track monitoring and simply remove the dry signal from the delay during recording. I mean without using an extra track.

Thanks for another great video. How do you combine the two ReaDelay effects (I see the left and right paned instances are combined)? I can't figure it out.

I tried it with auto-tune and lots of effects and it works. I can say that this is also effective to your VST synths/instruments especially for MIDI recording. Thanks Kenny. By the way do you have a video tutorial about tempo change in one track or project? Like for example: You started with the BPM of 120 then it will change to 140 when it reaches to the middle section of the track, then it will change to 130 when it reaches the final part of the song. Hopefully, you have one. Thanks Kenny. Be safe and God bless.

Nice! Maybe I don't get it, but doesn't this trick still suffer from latency? It's just hidden by the fact that the main voice sound is using the interface's hardware zero latency. But the FX from Reaper are still played back to the singer with the added latency. But because it's a combination of delay and reverb, it will hide the latency. You say you can also use this for guitar. I always record my guitar directly into Reaper, using amp modeling, etc for creating the sounds. But doing it this way will playback my raw guitar sound without FX (the hardware zero latency sound) and mix that with the guitar FX (amp sim, chorus, etc.) I set on the track in Reaper. That's a sound I don't want. I only want the processed FX sound. But if I disable the hardware zero-latency signal, I'm back at the start and suffer from the latency on the FX track. For that reason I often use a dedicated modeling audio interface, like a Line6 UX1, that can actually do amp modeling with zero latency in the interface. I wished you had mentioned this option in the video.

There are still latency issues if the vocalist wants to hear real time fx while singing. The zero latency shown here only really works after a piece of audio has been recorded. No latency in between the dry track, and the fx track being monitored. I might just need a better system

thanks m8, saved my ass a lot of time

2:12 good picture with several parts of latency. How to solve last two parts of it in direct monitor mode? I mean the latency of backing track coming to headphones, the latency which appear from DAW to headspeakers (in opposite direction).

Awesome idea, and advice...I do see a weak point - if you wanted to use a guitar amp sim w/distortion, it would HAVE to include clean guitar w/dirty....maybe that can be overcome, I dunno. I'd rather record direct out from my tube preamp anyway, so there would never be a 'clean' guitar to worry about...

Christopher Walken called, he wants his pauses back.

Amazing

Wouldn't the FX ONLY track be subject to the half of the round-trip latency? Even though you're direct monitoring through the interface, the input still needs to go into the CPU and get processed into the FX track, then blended along with the direct monitor... right?

Thanks a lot Kenny. I have never thought of recording my vocals with the effects on. I am currently using a CLA vocals plugin. Do I just put the plugin on the vocal track in this case?
