Stupid question regarding tracking and native rig

Edit: found an answer.
But now real question would be: how you guys can work with native rig for tracking?
 
Done it for about 5/6 years!
Set the buffer to lower than 128 and away you go.
No-one every complained about latency (except those occasional I'm a fucking idiot moment when you've left it cranked to 1024 for mixing)

Not that I wouldn't prefer HD/HDX, but I don't do any of this wierd pissing around with the Interface's built in mixer... that can fuck right off. Just use tools' Mixer, make headphone sends.. easy.

Done this from PT 7.1 on a MDD G4 up til now Running Pt 9 on a Mac Pro
 
I am using a metric halo 2882 for all tracking.
It can do the protools HD style but I prefer software monitoring while tracking so I can use some plugins if needed.

I set the buffer to 32 and be done with latency
 
I edited my OP so you can see my first question :lol:
I know you can achieve low latency monitoring in native. But I can find a way for tracking through plugin with that kind of rig.

I'm on HD, so I don't have to deal with the whole problem with my rig (no latency problem, can do overdub in a 120 tracks mix session full of plugin). But due to some budget limitation for an upcoming session, I can track on a big studio (where all HD/MIX rig are); and I want to avoid moving my rig.

What I want doing is simple be able to track through plugin with minimal latency on a native rig.
I always using phase adjuster plugin across my bass track (DI, amp, sansamp) for lock the phase between all this track. With that you can really hear what going on and how your sound work, and that in real time.
 
AHHHH! I see.
Weird one this.... In HD you can't Monitor through RTAS plugins without first routing the output of a track through an aux.... or use a TDM plugin; which may be what you're saying....

However! In Pt9 /8/7/Le.... You just slap An rtas plugin on , Podfarm, Sansamp whatever, record enable the track with a lowish playback buffer WITHOUT engaging so called Low latency monitoring (i've not used this in 6 years what a waste of time it is.)and away you go.
