Playthru echo

[Srozell]

While I'm recording from an external device, i can hear the songs, however, there's an echo and sometimes i hear a different song. the playback is ok. it's just on the playthru. any idea why?

It makes Overdubbing and Sound-On-Sound an adventure.

You can use one of the USB devices we reviewed instead of the standard sound pathways and listen to the device instead of the computer. That does work and everything comes out in real time -- or seems to
