POD Go hardware/software monitoring latency (and blend)

[sominator]

Hi all,

 

I'm attempting to use my POD Go as an audio interface and encountering significant latency when monitoring via DAW (I'm on PC).

 

I previously solved for this issue with my PreSonus interface using its hardware/software monitoring blend knob, but I haven't found a way to do this with the POD Go.

 

Is such a thing possible?  Or does someone have another solution for reducing latency with software monitoring?

Thanks very much!

Are you using the POD Go ASIO driver? If not, try that.

 

Otherwise…. Why do you want/need to use software monitoring? I think most people turn it off and connect their speakers/phones direct to the POD Go outputs for zero-latency monitoring.

I am...or at least I think I should be.  I have the POD Go Edit software installed and the POD Go shows up as per normal on my DAW.

 

Honestly, I was just trying to do software monitoring so that I could use my DAW's metronome and have everything line up properly for the base track.  I'll just do as you suggested.

 

Thanks for weighing in!

Your DAW’s metronome will be heard at the POD Go outputs along with your playing, with zero latency.

Ah you're totally right, I was conflating the metronome and other output from the DAW with the software monitoring issue. Thanks for helping me to see this!
