No. A while back, when I used a TC Electronix Fireworx as the first stage mic preamp and effect rack I always monitored directly from the soundcard (going digitally from TC Electronix into sound card/ computer, so the AD latency happened in the TC). It worked out fine. The rule is that if you have a full sound acoustically (pre laptop) you may risk phasing errors if monitoring through the computer, if the instruments acoustic sound is heard together with the delayed monitor sound. However, now I have been forced to sell off that TC device and I now monitor through through the computer, through certain plug-ins that shape my sound. It's just a little more latency but not worse than stepping back two meters from a guitar amp while playing. > That's why I monitor through Mobius- to keep the timing straight. Mobius doesn't delay the signal, it's just a pass-through bridge. Latency happens at three major stages: At the AD conversion when the signal enters the software domain (digitalization), when passing through certain plug-ins (not all, some plug-ins are able to process the signal without delaying it) and finally at the DA conversion at the sound card's output.
