Re: [Avid-L2] Getting rid of Mic lag in Audio Punch In?

I used to do this using Direct out, (In the audiomix tool? Not behind an Avid now)
Route everything to ch 1-2 except the tracks you are recording to.
Not sure Direct out is available without any hardware attached though.
You could also try panning everything to one side and the recording track to the other, and use only one side of the headphones.
Not a very "pro" solution, yet maybe usefull.
