Work space so I can add effects, drums and other backing tracks or instruments to individual tracks then mix, trim or otherwise modify each track and then combine them into a final version, perhaps mp3.</p><p class=MsoNormal>.</p><p class=MsoNormal>I understand a 0 latency Audio Interface would let me listen to the combined track output in real time but what about the recorded sync of tracks with various demanding effects added after a track is recorded? Are tracks kept in sync via the Audio interface when recording and playing, sort of a loop of the combined tracks through say headphones, or will adding effects to one track put it out of sync with other tracks.</p><p class=MsoNormal>Also, is mixing, say volume and effects and balance and other mixing techniques usually done in the DAWS or do I need a stand alone mixing board?</p><p class=MsoNormal>I run a 8 core Windows Machine so any comments on multi-processor and multi-threading performance of various software DAWS would be informative concerning latency.</p><p class=MsoNormal>Rick USA </p><p class=MsoNormal>.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows 10</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
