I've used a couple of chunky APC units for years to power all my computer and network gear, as well as my digital console and other sensitive stuff as I get a lot of brown outs here. You must be imagining this Hugh, as I've been informed on these fora that This Kind Of Thing just doesn't occur in ...

I've never understood 64-bit DAWs, I've really tried, they're flippin' nightmares!) Just curious as to what you define as a 64-bit DAW? I ask, because there really should be no difference to the function of a 32-bit versus 64-bit version of a DAW. You may be attributing differences to the wrong ...

I don’t use Neutron, but it’s designed to run as insert effect on your master bus. So that’s right, you shouldn’t use it as a send effect. An insert will process the whole signal, which is what you need. A send effect adds something, such as reverb, to the original signal. It's meant to be used as a ...

This thread is hilarious! :D Yeah, I was disappointed when it petered out 10 days ago, however it's gathered a head of steam and we're off again. Just been to renew my popcorn supplies....! Just wait, any minute now someone will be along to tell us how they used to program in Fortran, uphill in the ...

This thread is hilarious!

Hi GPU Audio, I would like to have low latency monitoring with compression, EQ, reverb and perhaps even pitch correction (I know that's a big ask), without having to buy a very expensive and soon-to-be obsolete interface with DSP built in. This requires a step change in processing power. Is all of ...

If you do decide on the second screen / iPad (Sidecar); https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/adptr_metricab.html Has stereo-imaging metering among its many useful functions. An option you may not have considered when thinking about a second monitor is . . . you don't need to use the full area ...

Things I can think of offhand:- - Probably smaller buffers, and thus less latency. Unfortunately, smaller buffers are unlikely to result in lower real-world latency due to the nature of (many of) the processes we wish to apply to audio, which simply require a fixed and finite amount of wall-clock ...

BTW, one of the most popular professional active DI boxes, the Radial J48, has an input-z of 220k....

Chr*st on a bike Hugh, how could anyone be expected to produce anything musical with that???

That's two hundred and seventy thousand musics short of the minimum acceptable musics!

It's more of a best practices guide for people running AoIP systems (Dante, RAVENNA, AES67) alongside EuCon or accessing storage over the network.

The principals are sound and could help anyone having problems in more limited / sophisticated setups all the same.

Handy info re: networking and EuCon, interop w/ AoIP, network storage etc. https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/using-audio-over-ip-or-eucon-over-your-computer-network-read-this-now Couple of little tips in there that could apply to even the simplest Avid Control app running on a tablet over ...

What's so unconventional about the way he uses the interface? Is he using it to darn socks or plant corn or something? Frisbee?

RME has a "sound"? :D The smart approach of course would be to ally character preamps to the RME should you wish to colour or shape the input. You could even stick a Focusrite front end on it. The best (among many bests) thing about RME is they present honestly and accurately, and that's gold Jerry.

@ Elf;

I guess with the hardware you might find many reasons not to like it, fader-feel, robustness . . . would probably be the things that decide it in the end for a working pro.

I don't think they're let down by lack of functionality or integration with Steinbergsoft is what I'm sayin'.

Hey Elf, as far as I can grok it it's EuCon, which is, conceptually . . . a Remote Script. Except -when Avid bought Euphonix they got to dictate the terms from the position of owning this "protocol" and any DAW vendor that wished to interface their functionality to EuCon do so under license. But ...

I guess an alternative to Cubase Device Panels would be something like Ctrlr. https://ctrlr.org/ You'd build your Ctrlr panels, essentially VST GUIs for your outboard, then use Remote Scripts in conjunction with these panels to provide feedback and otherwise interface to hardware controllers or ...

It works perfectly over a wired connection, USB tethering sets up an NDIS network connection and you're off to the races. Glad you like it and find it useful. If you get the opportunity you should check out their latest gen hardware control-surfaces like the S1 - also hella slick, and as far as I ...

The Avid Desktop app also works with Cubase FYI, just in case you fancy dedicating a spare widescreen monitor as a meterbridge. With the introduction of custom control sets, the AC app has finally matured into a very decent solution for the DAWs that support and have a decent EuCon implementation. I ...

So - as I read back through my own post it occurs to me that as UA port more of their codebase to be compilable for a wider architecture ecosystem AND revamp the hardware - they would be pretty well placed to implement something like HDX+ as a DAW-agnostic solution.

I don't want to start a new thread just for this so . . . how comparitively weak are Avid HDX cards versus UAD? Asking for a friend . . . :D It strikes me that software-controlled input impedence-loading might not be beyond the ken of other manufacturers, should they choose to implement that feature ...

Just out of curiosity - have you tried the free Avid Control app in Cubase? You can set up some fairly useful pages in that, along with its general EuCon capability (extensive . . . comprehensive!). Obvs it's not user-scriptable like MD or Lemur but for anyone looking for a touchscreen controller ...

Oh, I think they'll be an absolute gift to you Elf mate, given your propensity for and diligence in setting these sorts of things up effectively (from past forum posts).

Anyone who uses Ableton Live or Bitwig . . . I think even FLS uses RS - has had this functionality (and rabbithole) for years.

Sure, that's a good point - but it's not necessarily the case that RS be limited to controlling the software. Ideally they'd integrate these parts of the system so your controller scripts could be built to futz with outboard gear as handily as DAW parameters while the DP section grows to be a robust ...

Haven't they introduced Remote Scripts (a la Ableton Live et al) in C12?

I'd say there's your Device Panel update right there fellas and that's all she wrote.
