UR22 Recording Audio Not Same as Recorded

Totally depends on how sensitive you are to a delay really. I can personally play any instrument just fine at the lowest buffersize which gives a roundtrip of ~4ms on my system, and if I’m forced to higher buffer sizes I monitor through my analog desk which is even faster than direct monitoring . If your rig can’t achieve low latency then I would personally always prefer mono monitoring. It’s just for when doing the recording anyway, as long as you can clearly hear what you’re playing it’s not a big deal.

I don’t know what is most common, I imagine many interfaces do offer stereo direct monitoring but I clearly don’t know much about that as I assumed the UR22 did as well . If you’re not relying on software fx during monitoring I think the best option is analog monitoring like I do on my mixer, but that’s not really an option for you without another investment. I’d say try both and see which you prefer!

Great! When I record audio does Cubase play the recording throught the sound card automatically? I will try to lower buffer sizes and listen from my DAW instead. I guess that’s prefered so that I really get the actual sound. I guess the only reason I am even having a problem with this is because when I play my piano I really need to get the right feeling. Small variations in the sound make me a bit uncomfortable with the result. Strings, organs etc. sound kinda ok using direct monitoring but the piano I know too well

I saw in your signature that you have “POWERPLAY PRO-XL HA4700”. Is this the mixer you talk about? How is the setup you have connected?

BTW, I am really grateful for you helping me!

EDIT: Do you think something like this would be able to convert mono to stereo for me?

I would actually really like an extra module connected to my headphone monitor output because it could be standing on my keyboard which make some cable problems easier and it’s a very cheap device
