You own the AE-9 soundcard and are enjoying its great sound quality. The main challenge is achieving real-time sidetone without noticeable delay. You’re considering using the Xenyx302 mixer for sidetone, but you don’t want to sacrifice the AE-9’s audio clarity. Is there a method to combine them so you can use both features together? Thanks for your guidance!
You can find affordable analog mixers at various prices. Studios often discard expensive ones, but used or lightly opened boxes are available online. New units are still a good option, though some stores sell high-end models for lower prices. It seems sound cards are being overpriced, and I’d avoid the EMI collector if I were you—opt for a USB mixer instead.
