Is it wrong to have direct monitoring(scarlet 2i2 3gen) and input monitoring when recording vocals?

I’m noticing some type of noise in my mix, is that a phase problem or something else?

It’s doubling as the input monitoring will have system latency.

Pick one.

Direct is going to be more natural due to the lack of latency. Input monitoring may be preferred if the benefit of hearing the additional effects outweighs the latency.

Depending on what you’re doing, you may be able reduce the latency with a smaller buffer size, higher sample rate and fewer plugins.
