Controlling Delay (Latency) During Monitoring
Pro Tools LE with Digi 002 or Digi 002 Rack uses
your computer for all audio processing, play-
back, and recording. This causes a small amount
of audio delay, or latency.
Latency is most obvious when monitoring dur-
ing recording. You may hear this as a slight de-
lay between when you produce the sound and
when you hear the sound through the speakers
or headphones.
Pro Tools LE for Digi 002 and Digi 002 Rack sys-
tems includes Low Latency Monitoring. This
feature allows you to use a built-in mixer in the
Digi 002 unit or Digi 002 Rack unit when re-
cording or monitoring to lessen the effect of la-
tency.
To use Low Latency Monitoring, tracks must be
record-enabled, assigned to an actual audio in-
put (not a bus), and assigned to outputs 1 or 2.
To use Low Latency Monitoring while recording:
Launch Pro Tools and set up a session. See
1
"Recording a Pro Tools Session" on page 8.
Select Options > Low Latency Monitoring.

When Low Latency Monitoring is enabled, any
plug-ins and sends assigned to record-enabled
tracks (routed to Outputs 1–2) are automatically
bypassed, and must remain bypassed. Also,
these tracks will not register on meters for Mas-
ter Faders.
