I get a lag when I try to record vocals into Fruity Loops, Audacity, etc. What am I doing wrong?
When I try to record vocals into these programs, I get this 2 second lag that really messes me up. I’m using a condenser microphone hooked up to a preamp via XLR cable that’s hooked up to my computer via TRS cable with a 1/8” adapter. How can I get rid of that dreaded lag and hear my voice in real time?
Using Fluther
