ff, but it's working with no
audible latency.

To compensate for the 512 sample buffer latency between Paris and Cubase SX,
slide the Paris track to be compensated to the left using editor buttons
10ms and 1ms. then in the Native plugins secion, insert Sampleslide at 48
samples. Now you're sample accurate between Cubase and Paris on the track
you want to process

Take two tracks side by side (I'm using kicks). Now open up a UAD-1 plugin
on the track in SX and enable the insert from Paris through Cubase SX.
Highlight the track in Paris and slide it to the left by 50ms and increase
the Sampleslide increment by 770 samples. You can create a series of presets
using these calculations called 1 x plug, 2 x plugs, etc. and just open up
the on you want to use in Sampleslide, remembering that your incremental
nudge in Paris is 50ms. I use 50ms because it's easy to remember as opposed
to something that would get me within 30 or so samples but require nudging a
bunch of different ms buttons in the Paris editor.

This is all I'm going to do tonight. I'll do some exact calculations later
this week because I'm sure that there are certain sample latencies per UAD
plugin in SX and if a rough estimate (say 33ms/1470 samples) is applied to a
large number of plugs, the latency might drift off into the ms range and
cause sloppy flamming/phasing.

I'm very close here and I'm going to give Tom Freeman a call at UA this week
and get the skinny on the latency differences between these plugins if I can
so we can get anal retentive about this.

I wish I could report some kind of major breakthrough. I thought I had it
for a second there, but using this method, we can definitely do some things
we can't do with UAD-1 plugs in Paris, like automate the plugins and use VST
and outboard processors across Paris submixes, plus the incremental nudges
are much smaller using this method of compensation so it may be a bit easier
to use Paris fader automation while processing with UAD-1 plugs.

Anyway.....I'll post more when I know more.

>Yeah.......read my last post. Man, for a second I thought I'd pulled off a
miracle. The thing that makes this kind of experimentiation really screwy is
that at times Cubase will behave inconsistently, and inconsistently for the
better. I have actually had Cubase SX latency compensation working on Paris
tracks that were being streamed into Cubase. It was like it was seeing the
incoming signal and applying a lookahead to the processing. then it would
quit doing this and the latency would return, so all I can say is that
interfacing two DAWs like this which would normally behave in predictable
ways creates a scenario where either or both of them may behave in an
unpredictable way.

Send me your PT HD rig over here and I'll shut up.

>James my concerns are not for MAxc user, I could care less about aMac user,
I do care about Windows users. However, Even if Logic Audio were $499.00
that sill could not convince a user like DJ to buy a Mac. Get the Point..
And, yes Nuendo is $500.00 but better than Logic 7.x with all it's virual
instruments. Nuendo, is an all-around better Audio/mixng/Editing/Vst host
DAW period. This is not just my opinion, but to most DAW users.

Logic is losing the popularity constest. Just because hey have their faithfull
user (erroding), does not mean that they are gaining market-share.

Logic is dated, stale, stale to look at, and no engineer would want to cut(track
a band) a session using it. he arrange page is aaudioediting nightmare..
Mark my words, Logic will be a throw-in app for Music Macs.

My hope is for a mature Sountrack Pro/With Final cut Pro DAW from Apple.
That product can compete with the Pro Tools, Nuendo's/SX, Samplitudes, Sequoia,
and now even Sonar.

Anyone know the guy who did this?

Wonder what he used.

DCThis will be my first time building a PC so I'll be following in your footsteps.
Keep me posted. I'm no longer afraid of the darkside.

>I created some sampleslide presets to work with the nudge increments for the
UAD-1 plugins and I've got a sweet mix happening here with Paris tracks
being processed in SX, while others are being processed with EDS FX and yet
others are being processed with outboard gear.

Cubase SX is humming along just like a big ol' effects rack and everything
sounds appropriately PHAT!!!

I'm liking this. Much easier than rendering all the tracks, flying them into
Cubase SX and mixing by streaming every track back through Paris. Just a
matter of a few presets in Sampleslide and a small nudge here and there.
Being able to spread those outboard reverbs across submixes is very handy.

I'll post up my Sampleslide presets ASAP. Theyre working very well.

On that note......I'm off to St Mattress cathedral.

G'nite all.

;o)Hey Dedric! I have older versions of Logic, but I'm not running Logic at
this time. I have kept up with, to some degree, the development of logic.
I've been reading the Logic NG for some time, and a lot of the bugs have
been fixed. There was a lot of mad Logic users for a while, especially when
they started to make changes to the interface. Some people liked it the
way it was, hummmmm!

I've just been reading about Logic and Symphony. It looks like a killer
combination, but time will tell. From what I gather, the drivers are working
well. Obviously the latency thing is a plus if it all turns out to be true.
I think Logic is still a serious contender for DAW software. Logic is still
a good option for many, with it's PT and new third party hardware options,
such as DSP cards. It took apple time to get the right people in place for
the internal Logic team, some people came from Opcode. I think Logic will
now improve.

My point was it's not fair to pick a part Logic and Macs when your reference
is a 3 to 4 year old version of Logic and an 8 year old Mac. That's ridiculous!
There has been a lot of improvements to Logic and Macs. I think the current
state of the art, first hand experience and honesty would reveal a different
conclusion. Logic and Macs are not dead, they are still prevalent in many
studios. Logic will improve over time, as all DAWs do. I doubt Logic will
ever be top dog, but so what. That position will be held by PT, and Steinberg
second for a long time to come. In the end, the best DAW is a vary subjective
matter. To each his own.

There is a lot of software out there to choose from, I'm glad we have choices,
other wise we'd all sound the same.

Just be glad Gibson didn't buy Logic!!!

James
