OK - so what the hell does it do? Just take off the plugs that are on the channel? If so, how does it make up for latency?
I have been using that Tritone Mute Tone plug on every channel when I record - which in essence mutes the channel when it's in record mode - so you don't hear the latency coming from the channel. But just out of curiosity, I switch on "Low Latency" and lo and behold - same thing! No need for Mute Tone...But then I read that you need to turn Lo Latency off because when you bounce down, AUX and several other things won't be included in the bounce...but I did a bounce with it on and all AUX's were in there. Weird. Can anyone tell me what the hell the thing does?

Thank you, Sweetwater...
What does Low Latency Monitoring do in Pro Tools?
Article #1722608
Low Latency Monitoring will mute the output of any record-enabled tracks in Pro Tools so that you only hear the direct signal coming from your interface. It is designed this way to prevent the latent signal that travels from your interface, through your DAW, and back out to your interface from mixing with the direct signal so that there is no delay.
If you need to monitor the signal that comes from Pro Tools, but you don’t want the delay, you will need to turn off direct monitoring on your interface. This can usually be done from some kind of control panel software for larger interfaces or via a “mix” knob on smaller interfaces to blend the direct source with the DAW return.

So, I guess I don't need to use Mute Tone anymore.

What interface are you using? The UAD stuff?

So - just playing around with it - Clicking "Low Latency" in PT 11 basically just turns off all plugs on that channel, but ONLY when I have the track armed/Record enabled. So - Could I just leave Low Latency on all the time and not have to use Mute Tone anymore? What am I missing? This would be kinda huge if so...

You should be able to. There is an issue with hardware inserts I think if low latency is left on all the time. I have made it a habit to take it off when mixing, just in case. I will try to find the artical on the issue.

Isn't using Low Latency mode a non-issue when using the UAD Console app? That's kinda how I'm running it. I've been running overdub sessions monitoring the record channel through Console (I mute the armed channel in PT). Am I doing this wrong?

I think what JK is talking about is not having to mute/un-mute armed channels.

I thought mute tone didn't work in 11 as it is rtas not aax ?

no - it's AAX indiehouse - if you mute the channel, that solves the latency issue, but if you're trying to punch in somewhere, you can't hear what you've already recorded...Does that make any sense? |

Yeah, it's a PITA, for sure. I've been doing a simultaneous un-mute click and F12 to punch in. What I find more annoying about this workflow is the doubling effect when an armed track is un-muted, and you have signal coming through both the Console as well as the armed PT track. It feels like amateur hour sometimes, especially during vocal dubs. I catch it most times, but not always. I'm definitely interested in exploring an alternative option. It's strictly a ProTools issue, isn't it? Something to do with PT not having the option to turn off direct monitoring? Or am I wrong?

No - you're right. That's what Tritone Mute Tone fixes - and what I've been using. But I think that now in PT11, you can just switch on Low Latency and it's golden.

Gotcha. I'll give it a go and see what happens. I'm still on PT10, but have a free upgrade to 11 waiting to download, as soon as I get my system updated.

I'll check in 10 too to see if it's the same thing. It's very possible that it's been that way all along and I just have no idea what the hell I'm doing. Check out Tritone Mute Tone too. It's free

Here's something I do from time to time John. Grab a new track, cut on both sides of the original track what you want to overdub and mute that section. Then loop record on the other track until your satisfied. Comp and simply move it up to the original track in its correct spot. It's a workaround I know but its pretty quick and painless.

Mute Tone and Low Latency are both working for me perfectly - I just wasn't aware that I could drop mute tone now and just use the Low Latency option. Pretty cool.
