I had a modest MIDI sequence (12 parts) running in Cubase and initiated =
10
different Creamware softsynths on the 14 chip Pro card at 44.1 - 24bit.
I also had all ins/outs patched with 10 stereo busses in Cubase
via the Creamware card. All synth GUIs were open as was the Cubase
mixer showing all it's meters. I had one extra native softsynth running =
for good measure.

The CPU performance of the computer itself hung around 3-4%
with one spike at 8% while drawing the Cubase mixer. I had no way of =
seeing=20
the Creamware CPU because it won't boot up once Cubase has taken over =
it's resources.
It didn't seem to mind what I was doing to it.
Thanks for the cue Dimitrios!

All I can say is this is gonna be great in XTC mode! Kontakt and a =
bunch of other
NI stuff is next. That should show me where this box is really at.

Is it wise to install Kontakt on the C drive with it's samples on a =
seperate SATA or should I
install Kontakt entirely on the SATA?

I was also thinking of letting Kontakt have it's own drive and putting =
all other softsynths
on another IDE. I will be using it more than any of the others. Is it =
just their samples that=20
like to be on a different drive or the program itself?
Thanks,
Tom

I haven't tried XTC mode yet, mostly because I'm feeling around in the dark
a bit now and it seems to be 'deprecated' by the Pulsar geek crowd. Still
I'll check it out.

I'd put the Kontakt libraries on a separate drive if you can, but I don't
think it's that huge a deal anymore. I'm one version behind on Kontakt and
even it does fine with everything stuffed on one crappy drive. But if you
have the spare it does make life easier both for the computer and for you
to keep track of the samples.

Now, hold on to your credit card and go to www.zargmusic.com.

Hi Guys, I went ahead and jumped onto the Pulsar wagon myself and got a
project 6 DSP card with a sync card. My setup is:
Box #1: Paris / 3cards / 2MECs / 2 adat cards
Box#2 : Pulsar card / UAD card / Cubase SX 3
I did some very basic testing bussing tracks via adat out to PULSAR, patched
in a compressor in the pulsar patchbay then lightpipe back to Paris, very
cool. I would like to use my UAD with latency compensation also. This is
where I will need XTC mode and do my processing inside Cubase, rite?

Thanks
Rob

Hey Rob join the club! I am way too green to answer questions.

As I understand it, XTC is a Pulsar thing that allows its plugins
to be seen as traditional VST plugins within another program while
still getting their DSP from the Creamware card. Maybe there's more or =
less=20
to it but that's how it appears to be working in my box with Cubase 2.0.
I can't even get Creamware to start up once Cubase has taken over
the Creamware hardware during it's startup. It does seem to be very
fast (3ms) with VSTi s so I'd bet the effects plugins will be the same.

I don't think this will help latency compensation with your UAD. Cubase
might as long as you aren't expecting to track with it. Mixdown like
DJ and you can get this to fly.
Tom
