>Hey Pete,
"Hardware based" systems ala Paris and ProTools, employ DSP on the
cards that is specifically wired for near zero monitoring within their
environment. The native packages do not have this physical DSP
available, so an interface is required to use any DSP that is present
(Total Mix, in this case).
IMHO, using TWO mixer windows is a PIA, although it CAN be done. In a
charge-for-time situation, customers would start getting irritated at
the delays to adjust the monitor mix. Add to that, the fact that is

being compensated for and you can start to see
the limitations. Going to an outboard mixer for monitoring allows you
as many cue mixes as you have sends for.
As DJ suggests, you can track to Paris, then mix in SX/N3... add a few
adat cards to Paris and bus the group outs of the SX/N3 mix to Paris
for summing. If you need to do a "hi res" mix, don't bus to Paris for
summing.
This is what we are gearing up for here, just have to finish building
the console to house everything and off we go! :-)

have plug-in for me. I can't wait for the full Pro version
to be available forsale. Mac people try this out! PC people try out the free
version. Unfortunately, there is some technical problem with getting the Pro
version to work on PC's. Tri-Tone says they'll keep working on it, but it
might take some time if it's possible at all.

>I don't think this info is correct. I am using the HDSP 92/56 with SX and
Apogee AD/DA-16x converters with a Mackie Control. All I had to do was
enable direct monitoring in SX and in TotalMix (one check box in each app).
When I arm a track, it automatically routes that track to the selected
monitor output. I can arm 16 tracks for Zero Latency Monitoring right on the
control surface (and side car) just buy hitting the track arm button on each
channel, it's completely automatic, and I never have to open TotalMix. I
track 16-tracks live all the time. No problems, no hassles.
I can also record without direct monitoring, at 1.5ms latency setting at
44.1K without a problem. I regularly use UAD-1 plugins live this way. This
is on an Athlon 2600XP (32-bit, 2.2gig) with 512megs (cas2) and a 7200RPM
8meg audio drive. It's a standard XP pro install with the recomended
settings from the RME site. I do need to disable the network to get it
running smoothly.

I'm gonna give recording in Nuendo a try.
>>
>> (gotta get to work...won't get to read you thought till tonight...jk)Hey, I'm glad it's working that way for you, but you will be in the
minority as far as your latency settings go. If you want to change
the mix of the monitoring feed through total mix, you would have to
open the mixer to effect changes. Otherwise, you are simply adjusting
your record level to get a monitoring mix.
I have tried several ways around this and I never came up with
anything that would work to my satisfaction. Even 5mSec of round trip
latency drives me crazy. Also, I can't deal with having only one
mix... I used to work that way, but when you get 3 or 4 musicians
wanting different feeds it gets too frustrating.
For a project studio, it may work just fine.
Regards,
David.

right around where Paris is. While direct monitoring does work with
SX/N3, all you get is level control. None of the channel EQ or FX
function till you play back. This is something I got spoiled using in
Paris, and the reason we went with the outboard digital mixer.

TyroneUnless you use some sort of mixer as the front end.
I can monitor directly any number of inputs, (well, up to 32 on my mixer,),
without having to use the direct monitoring of either Nuendo or the Delta

For those people that have not checked out ColorTone Pro, the TriTone men
have come up with a unique approach to the application of classic gear impulses.
Pro has a dynamic feature that changes the intensity of the IR based on input
level. The result of this is a subtlety changing effect that emulates the
real world where driving a preamp (or other gear) harder increases the saturation
or crunch or warmth.
This makes the CTP sound much closer to real world than simply passing tracks
through other convolution engines.
This simple but effective process can be dialed in, and the impulses are
first rate.
Going from Track->
Compressor->
ColorTone Pro
gives very different results than
Track->
ColorTone Pro ->
Compressor.
Most flexible…
Track->
Compressor->
ColorTone Pro->
Compressor
The real hardware may have a slight edge, particularly when married to excellent
converters, but this plug sounds great.
Gene....1...2...3... are we up?....lookin' goooooood. ;o)probably like lima beans too...
