Hello I’m new user of presonus quantum audio interface.

My setup:
Windows 10 x64.
Cubase 10.
i7-8770k. 32GB ram.
Presonus quantum.

I’m trying to figure out how to monitor audio inputs with insert and send effects on heavier projects (some heavy cpu plugins and buffer is 1024 or 2048) without latency.

Since quantum doesn’t have hardware monitoring I’m forced to monitor thru daw and on bigger projects there’s so much latency that it’s impossible for singers to get a good performance due to high latency.

Please help

Not with Cubase you can't. Unless there is a low latency monitoring option that bypasses the plugins.

Studio One has a feature that allows for Low Latency Input monitoring even at high buffer settings. However, it disables any plugin that goes over 3 ms latency, otherwise, the feature wouldn't work. Quantum was designed to utilize this feature, hence why the internal round trip latency of the unit is lower than any TB product in it's class.

Now, personally, I would never have that much processing on while attempting to track audio. I do things in stages.

While tracking, I use low cpu / low latency plugins until I am finished with all recording. Save that session, then open another version of it for mixing. Only then, do I use heavier cpu use plugins.

If something needs to be re-tracked, then you bring it back to the tracking / recording session, do the business, then export the stem.

This is why you freeze tracks. If you wanted direct monitoring you picked the wrong Interface.
