Native Low Latency Monitoring (Green Z) - With Tape Style Monitoring In PreSonus Studio One

For anyone who has ever recorded in a DAW - Latency is (and always has been) something that one needs to combat. That being said, there are way’s to get around this. The easiest being running a separate software Mixer that pairs with an Audio Interface - which routes an Audio input directly to the output, and merges it with the Main Outs of your DAW. But these require a user to run 2 separate applications, when recording.

Then there are DSP based systems which are a little more elegant such as Pro Tools HDX, and the relatively newer LUNA based recording system from Universal Audio. Both these systems handle latency by offering a Low Latency Monitoring Path - which can be used when tracking.

Furthermore, a lot of systems will use an “Auto-Input Monitoring” style workflow when handling these low latency paths.

But did you know that as of Version 3.5 - Studio One has something similar that works Natively without the need for DSP? This is by far one of my absolute favourite features, and gets used for 99% of the work I do.

In this video, I demonstrate my favourite combination of Monitoring that I like to use when tracking with my Quantum system in PreSonus Studio One.
