What does Low Latency Monitoring do in Pro Tools?
Low latency monitoring in Pro Tools
Low latency monitoring will mute the output of any record-enabled tracks in Pro Tools so that you only hear the direct signal coming from your interface. Low latency monitoring is designed this way to prevent the latent signal that travels from your interface, through your DAW, and back out to your interface from mixing with the direct signal so that there is no delay.
If you need to monitor the signal that comes from Pro Tools but you don’t want delay, you will need to turn off direct monitoring on your interface. Direct monitoring can be turned off from your interface’s control panel software (i.e., Focusrite Control) or via a mix knob on the interface (if applicable) to blend the direct source with the DAW return.
