The term "database" is actually technically incorrect at the moment; it's currently just a text list. The name reflects my intention to build it into an actual user-contributable, searchable database - just as soon as I decide/figure out how to do that. For now, if you want to add a plugin that's not on the list - assuming you are logged in to the Wiki, just doubleclick on the page to open the editor and add the plugin to the bottom of the page as text, using something along the lines of the following format - PLUGIN NAME / [TAB] / LATENCY IN SAMPLES; just bring info and I'll take care of tidying it if needed.

Other things to kill are serial/LPT ports, USB and onboard audio if you're planning on loading the PCI slots. If you're not using networking, kill that also in the BIOS. These are not 'have to' things, but with 6 PCI slots I bet there's a lot of PCI sharing going on.... and that can mean troubles.

ctly FaderWorks is more like a sophisticated series of automatically calculated delays - everything's still going to audibly shift to the right in relation to waveforms and previously-laid-in automation every time you put a plugin on it. You'll watch the waveform go by and then hear the kick it crawled over a second later - it's just going to automate the process of calculating that and keeping sample-accurate relationship to the other tracks. This in itself is a Very Good Thing - but all it's going to do is move everything later in time against the automation grid *together* in an *automated* and *organized* way. I would be *so* delighted to hear I'm wrong on this. But my mind would be boggled to hear that Vertex figured out a way to give the VST slots a peek at audio far enough in advance of its arrival so that they could pass on, say, a one-second-delayed compressed kick at the time the Now Line hit it. - k On 4/25/08 4:49 PM, in article 481270c8@linux, "Aaron Allen" <know-spam@not_here.dude> wrote: > This is why I pulled my UAD card out and put it back in the static bag/box. > The latency was just an automation killer, even though I loved the sound of > it.

What the hell. I'm switching to XP anyway. pabHmmmm... That would be insanely cool. Problem is - I don't think it's going to give *true* PDC, for this reason: VST plugs can only play a sample as the Now Line crawls over it; they have no idea what the next sample's going to be. So if I understand it corre

room mic on drums because I liked the slightly more distant sound. I used the Deej mic on acoustic guitars because I liked the 'closer' sound. Again, I'm probably not doing a good job describing here. The mics sounded different enough that I decided not to use them as overheads, and I _really_ wanted to use them. I wound up using NT-5s and they sound like crap. I think the drums on this CD are just going to suck, which is sad. The songs are good, the playing is good, the other sounds are good, but the drums just blow. Anyway, next time I'll have Claytorbuilt mics as overheads and on the toms, and the drums will kick booty.

My Toshiba Tablet R-15 is DEAD silent no matter what I plug into it. I paid something like $3500 for the Dell something like 6 or 7 years ago, and the tablet sold for $2000, but I caught it on a close out at $1000. I frankly prefer the Toshiba line IME/YMMV over the Dell offerings for music production, but you have to clean the Toshiba crapware off, as with any other vendors machines.

While I'm auditioning it, prior to rendering, I hit the space bar rapidly to stop and re-start the transport whenever noise occurs. This seems to eliminate it.

I know that RAM allocation is kind of a big deal in OS9 and older. Perhaps you can find a CPU/RAM usage meter of some sort for the native system that you can watch when you engage the plug in question.

The lack of current plugs for OS 9 is a real problem. I know that current Waves and UAD are usable, but I'm wondering if my Liquid Mix (Firewire) plugs will also work. Anybody? Thanks, Tedbut I'm wondering if my Liquid Mix >(Firewire) plugs will also work. Anybody? That is - on a PC running XP...

Mainly to see if the hardware will work on current hardware. \ With it getting harder and harder to find old PC motherboards, CPUs and such I think it would be a good thing test. I'm already working on getting a basic 1 card 442 setup to do a test with. If that is successful then then it will be worth pursuing the multi-card setups. The multi-card setups would probably only be useful in a Magma chassis though sense newer motherboards will only have 2 or 3 PCI slots at best.

"Matrox G4xx graphics cards users will experience distortion in Audio Export/Processing results if UAD plugin windows are open during processing. Workaround: Close all UAD plugin interface windows before performing Audio Export/Processing." I've been using a Matrox G450 forever, and don't notice distortion, but there are the usual clicks and occasional dropouts when using a UAD plug on a track with edits. (yes, I'm using the drivers from windows, not the crap ones from matarox) I render the track, solve the problem. I was wondering though if it might be a good idea to switch to a different vid card to see if that fixed the problem. If so what would you suggest? I'm still running the Asus A7S333 mobo.

I paid something like $130 for it. So I upgraded the harddrive to a 7200rpm, bought new RAM and max'd it out to 2GB and got a PCMCIA firewire/usb card. I use it mainly for mobile and acoustic recording in Sonar 7. I have issues with Sonar, but my recordings are clean. I've only recorded a few tracks since
