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

Free Tutorial Series - Working With The PreSonus Quantum Thunderbolt Interface
For those running the PreSonus Quantum Thunderbolt interface, be sure to check out this video series that I did with the support from the good people over at PreSonus.
What's not to love about the PreSonus Quantum? Lightning fast Round-Trip Latency, solid drivers, phenomenal preamp & converter quality, and the ability to cascade up to 4 Quantum's together. I currently have 3 Full size Quantum's and 1 Quantum 2 (the mobile version) for my mobile rig. As much as I love the Low Latency direct hardware monitoring capabilities of the Studio 192 systems, there's something to be said for only having to manage one application, and monitoring through native plug-ins while tracking.
In the above playlist, you'll find what I consider to be "everything you need to know" when running the PreSonus Quantum Thunderbolt interface, all packed into a single playlist for your convenience. :)
Hope these videos are helpful! Cheers, M..
