Zero Latency Monitoring Handbook

This is just a few pages from the Zero latency Handbook.
Please see the 8 page PDF attached below if you want to learn the how to use it or how it works..

“Z “Monitoring or Zero Latency is supported as of Studio One 2.6 on the following interfaces:
Hardware Interfaces
• FireStudio Mobile, Project
• AudioBox 22VSL, 44VSL, 1818VSL
• Any 3rd party ASIO 2.0 DM interface device

How do you know if you have Zero Monitoring Capabilities
1) You will see a “Z” next to the hardware interface icon.

2) You will see the Z icon in your Audio Channels, and in any Cue mix

“Z” Signal Paths

?

Z On
1) Make sure the input track(s) are set to monitor.
2) In the case of recording, the audio signal follows the normal signal flow through the mixer to the hard disk.
3) In the case of monitoring, the audio follows the normal signal flow through the mixer however the monitoring path is switch off on any “Z” enabled Audio Channel and instead sends a fader level control signals to the hardware interface (via ASIO 2.0) to adjust the appropriate Direct Monitor output level.
4) NOTE: The FX bus will send the FX signal also to the hardware interface but with a delay due to the ASIO buffer size. If you are using delayed based effects such as Reverb or Delay, this delay in the wet signal will probably not be noticed.

“Z” Off
1) In the case of recording and or monitoring, All signal path will follow normal routing and be delayed in the monitoring by the size of the ASIO buffer.

Very nice. I might actually try using this for once...

Because of the many different types of delays associated with Monitoring live recordings and overdubbing with or without FX as well as the type of musician, I added a new section to the Zero Latency Handbook explaining it a bit more.

Please see V1.1 of the PDF file
Hopefully it is helpful.

I wish I could use this with my apogee symphony

Does anyone know if the Apogee Duet is compatible with this feature? I can't seem to determine if it has/is/contains ASIO 2.0 DM. Thanks.

Zero latency as described above through s1 is only for presonus interfaces. Check with the manufacturer of your interface for that option, also called hardware monitoring.

Umm...the original post above says:

“Z “Monitoring or Zero Latency is supported as of Studio One 2.6 on the following interfaces:
Hardware Interfaces
• FireStudio Mobile, Project
• AudioBox 22VSL, 44VSL, 1818VSL
• Any 3rd party ASIO 2.0 DM interface device

So...I'm wondering if the Apogee Duet 2 is such a "3rd party ASIO 2.0 DM interface device" in the third bullet.

Thats what i get for coming in halfway through. As you were.

Chech with Apogee. If it supports Direct Monotoring it will work with S1 Z monitoring.
