I've been trying to find the answer to this all day -- but with no luck:

How can I simulataneously hear the "line in" input while it is recording? The OS X system preferences (sound) give no indication that this is even possible! I think this might be called playthrough. I could do this on my SB64 on my old windows computer -- so i must be able to do it here!

Please help me! i don't want to have to run out and buy an external soundcard or controller (at least not right away!)


many thanks,

Ben

You are correct - USB audio interface = sound card. Most interfaces have an "input monitoring" or "direct monitoring" button to allow you to bypass the computer and thus, the latency. There's a bunch of devices out there that feature both audio and MIDI in/outs - you might want to start with m-audio, Tascam, Edirol, etc. Not sure about the others, but I can vouch for Tascam, in that their OSX drivers work well.
