Jase, are you saying I will get lower recording latency if using Direct Monitoring? How is your envrionment set up?

I am open to suggestions...
Well, If you monitor from within Cubase, the signal is being routed into and out of Cubase, introducing some latency. If I monitor from my soundcard, it doesnt go through Cubase, it is hardware monitoring, so the inputs are routed directly to the headphone outputs.

When recording Vocals etc, I never use Cubase for monitoring, I always use the MOTU 2408mkIII Cuemix Console monitoring panel. It would seem you have something similar with the RME...

The difference may be minor, I have never done any tests, but I dont think it affects the recorded signal, just what you are hearing back through the cans...

I dont think it is an issue if just recording synths, but if you are using the soundcard to monitor synths (and not a mixing desk), then it might be a good idea to explore the hardware monitoring options
