That is entirely up to you. Keep in mind that you can record the dry input while monitoring the FX. If you want to record using VST FX then you are stuck with round trip latency. If round trip is your preference then the Antelope Windows Thunderbolt driver allows the buffer to be set as low as 8. Of course you would need a processor (and cooler) that can handle that without starting a fire. Edited June 26, 2021 by Base 57 clarity ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawika Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 Ok, thanks Base 57. Yea, I was talking about 3rd party VST FX. I should have been clearer. Regarding your last line, the "round trip/T-bolt" idea........ Does that line- up with Antelope's remarks? I was able to get the following feedback: "I'd suggest monitoring from the control panel of the Goliath, instead of the DAW, " I'm not sure what that set-up exactly entails? Do you know? thanks, Kawika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Cat Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I think they are telling you to use the direct monitoring feature which of course has zero latency but ya, you won't hear any vst effects from the DAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 That's the bottom line. If the signal has to make a round trip through the DAW to audition plug-ins: the delay added by the interface butters is unavoidable but can be minimized by a combination of small buffer settings and high sample rate the delay added by plug-ins in the DAW can be minimized by bypassing the plug-ins with large lookahead buffers and use of the PDC override on the recording track.

I hate these delays, it messes up my playing. This is why I monitor before the computer even sees the signal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawika Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 Thanks scook, I am contemplating your info... Rfsongs....so you are not using Gtr software while tracking? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you have done this already but if you have not... Try experimenting with the Goliath's control pane without opening Cakewalk (or any other host) until you fully understand how it's routing matrix, mixers and FX work. I have not tried the Goliath guitar amp FX myself but if they sound as good as their comps and EQ's then the quality should be as good as any VST. Really the guitar FX are the reason to buy a Goliath in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nothing to throw off my timing. If the sound comes after I hit the note the feel is going to be awful. I said this before somewhere, but my machine is not real new. I don't know how fast a newer machine would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawika Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 Base 57, Yea....I guess they had to be talking about their (Anteope) FX. I have another email in to them for clarification. That's good to hear re: the guitar FX are happening. I was wondering about all of the Antelope FX. Truth be told, I have just used Goliath like a analog machine. I was able to do basic mapping in their control panel, and I 've been using miked guitars through fenders and Marshalls, or apply soft-gtr-FX afterward.. Ok...so input/FX/out "ish" to use Antelope FX. thanks man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawika Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 rfssongs, I hear you regarding feel. Sometimes just a few ms loses the attack, or perceived as such by me. Although not as inspiring, I have had good results with going direct and applying the FX afterward, example solo on David Gale, False Hope.... just released.
