I'm sick of the crackling and popping I'm getting when trying to squeeze the
massive bandwidth used by my 3 x RME cards and 4 x UAD cards through the 32
bit PCI bus. It just ain't happenin' the way I want. Over 40% CPU usage of
the UAD-1's and I'm listening to popcorn.

I've been chatting today with Ric (the obscene) at FX Teleport. I'm goiing
to give this a whirl. I never had any bandwidth problems with my old ASUS
A7V8x mobo. This thing is sitting there gathering dust with an XP 3000 CPU
and 2 G of RAM. I'm getting ready to order a case with PSU, a floppy and a
CDR, 2 x Intel Pro 1000 NIC's Linksys 5-Port EG005W switch, as recommended
for this.

Anyone got any words to the wise? I'm assuming that Cubase SX delay
compensation should work............yeah, right!!!!

;o)

Hey DJ,

Are you planning to run UAD-1s via FXT? I know people have asked about it,
but can't recall anyone doing it yet.

Otherwise, FXT works great. I ran Reaktor with it on an XP1900+ with delay
compensated, no problem. Your XP 3000 should do nicely. It does take
longer to load FXT-based plugins - at first it's a bit unnerving - just
extra time to calculate the round trip delay.

I assume you got your midi issues figured out?

Regards,
Dedric

Dedric,

Yes. That's the plan. I have been reading some posts about this on both the
UAD forum and the FXT forum. Ric says to buy certain hardware for optimal
performance. That's OK. Some posts suggest that it works OK in cubase SX
except for the delay compensation on the busses. Since two UAD-1 cards work
OK in my machine without crackles, I'll leave two cards in the machine for
bus/send dutiesw and load the other two in the FXT machine. I could even add
a third and forth one to the FXT machine. I never had issues with this old
ASUS A7V8X mobo running 4 x UAD cards.
