Also, adding your DAW, interface, computer and OS level, etc. to your signature will help with responses.Monitoring through the M2 or M4
If you don’t need to process a live input with
plug-ins, the easiest way to avoid monitoring
latency is to disable your DAW’s live monitoring
feature and instead engage the MON (monitor)
switch on the front panel of your M Series

Better is subjective but the only way to hear plugins is though your DAW. If not an issue, you might find it preferable to use direct monitoring. For most of us, the RTL (round trip latency) over Fast USB 2 isn't enough to be noticeable — that is what's advertised.harmonicaman wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 6:48 am Thanks you mean as long as I am not using a plugin it is better to disable to DAW monitoring and instead use direct monitor on Motu ?
