my interface doesn't have direct monitoring, so i have to rely on the monitor mix created by my recording software, which is at least a buffer round-trip's worth of latency. and it's actually necessary for me, and probably most live loopers, to monitor the actual "mix" - there's usually no distinction like there is in a recording studio when you're, say, recording a (more traditional) band live.

yes, but if you have an audio interface that allows direct monitoring of the input signal, it's not a problem (although i'm not exactly sure what you mean by "monitoring" as something separate from recording)

oh, and the buffer size for the audio interface makes a huge difference as well. larger numbers for better performance

and greater latency, which is no problem for recording, but might be for monitoring
