Got myself a little Allen & Heath ZED14 and never worried about buffer sizes and latency ever again... T

Re: How do you use an analog mixer with Protools?
I do the same thing, using my Tascam M-320B mixer left over from my reel-to-reel tape days. If the singer want's some reverb in his headphone mix, I just insert an external Lexicon reverb unit into that Aux Send.

Re: How do you use an analog mixer with Protools?
You can feed reverb from the monitor mix because latency doesn't matter. Beware of reverb like old Lexicons that can shift the pitch and screw up people's intonation.

Re: How do you use an analog mixer with Protools?
I think he just meant that reverb on monitor mix can have as much latency as it wants to, because it only affects to "pre-delay" of the reverb sound. Usually little pre-delay is desirable because the reverb kicks in after transients (not immediately).

There will be some latency of course but the singer won't notice, it's like having a couple of ms of pre-delay on the verb. If anything it'll sound even more natural with some separation between the direct sound and the onset of the reverb. Been doing that for years. But I also have the option to patch in reverb on the board for recording sessions that don't have any FX in it (yet). T

Re: How do you use an analog mixer with Protools?
OK, thanks guys for the clarification. I will try fooling around with reverb on the monitor mix later today, using different buffer sizes.
