Is it possible to get foldback while recording vocals?

When recording vocals over backing music it would be very helpful to be able to hear and monitor my own voice through the headphones, but I can't figure out how to do this - if, indeed, it is even possible with Mixpad. So, is it possible or not?

Hello, You can only monitor tracks which are configured to record with ASIO compatible hardware. This means that if your recording hardware allows it you would be able to monitor what you are recording with your headset. By the way the latest version of Mixpad has a button on each track that has a Headset icon, that is the one you would need to enable to monitor what you are recording on that channel if your hardware allows it.

Ah...thank you very much, Chris 75. So, does that mean that, even if I were to upgrade to the latest version, I would still need ASIO? I downloaded ASIO some time ago, on advice to sort out latency problems, but deleted it again soon after because I found it useless.

Hello Tim,

Yes, even with the latest version you need ASIO drivers to be able to use the Monitor feature, they handle better latency issues and should allow you to record and playback at the same time.
