Deej,
I've got that Silicon SATA on my Paris rig and it blows. Chris L. =
suggested the same.
I have had much better luck with standard ide.

so what are you using in place of the raptors?
I am running 2 10k rpm sata drives...1 OS and 1 audio.
I am running a 2.2gig AMD with 2gig ram. DDR400.
I am recording at 192k buffer and get clicks and pops when using VST =
realtime effects while tracking.
Cubase SX3.

I'm just using a standard ATA 133 IDE drive. Plenty of mojo for moderate =
track counts.=20
I've testing the *usability* of working at 32k buffers, 64k buffers and =
128k buffers here this morning. I don't have the horsepower to record =
and play back tracks simultaneously at 32k buffers (0.7 ms). I did test =
recording a single track at 0.7 ms without any tracks playing back and =
I can do it, but it sounds a teeny bit phasey to me. Not a show stopper =
but definitely a difference when compared to using ASIO direct =
monitoring. I can play back 12 tracks and record 20 tracks with up to =
around 25% of the DSP usage of my UAD-1's on the recorded tracks without =
problems and the Cubase DSP meter is around 70% (this is sorta' nervous =
territory where you don't want to be mousing around too much). Disable =
the UAD-1 and it drops down to between 50-60%. The audible phasing at =
64k (1.5ms latency) is about as noticable as it is at 32k buffers (0.7ms =
latency). What is disturbing to me is that I'm hearing audible phasing =
at all at 32k buffers. Even if I had a monster system that was able to =
stand up on it's hind legs and bark at 0.7ms latency, I would be hearing =
audible phasing. I'm sure this is because I'm not just hearing the =
latency that the buffer creates, I'm also hearing another 1.5 ms latency =
that is created by the AD/DA conversion. ASIO direct monitoring is much =
more equivalent to Paris latency (zero audible) because all you're =
getting is the appx 1.5 ms of the AD/DA conversion. Once it exceeds =
that, I can hear it.
After all this crap I've gone through, I think may just get myself =
another Furman HRM-16 mixer for my desktop so I can monitor the cue mix =
that is being sent to the rest of the studio via analog and see if I can =
create some kind of macro to switch all all track outputs to the main =
monitor bus in the CR when everyone comes trooping in from the tracking =
area to listen in the CR.
A bit more mousing around, but it's preferable to hearing latency in the =
cans. I won't be able to monitor with FX on pre recorded tracks, but =
this is just a fact of life with native systems I guess and isn't a deal =
killer. Looks like even the most powerful DAWs will be subject to at =
least 0.7 ms + 1.5 ms latency and I can clearly hear this.=20
Maybe my ears are just too friggin' sensitive and this teeny bit of =
latency wouldn't bother someone else. It sure bugs me though. I'll get =
Amy on the mic later on today and give this a go at 64k buffers (1.5ms). =
Her hearing is twice as sensitive as mine. If it doesn't bother her, =

Deej, I just don't get how you're hearing ANY latency at all,
unless you have "ZLM" (zero-latency monitoring) unchecked in
Totalmix.
I agree, even a little bit of latency bugs the crap out of me if
I'm tracking... where exactly is your monitor feed coming from?
IMO, you shouldn't hear any latency whatsoever - unless I'm
completely misunderstanding your setup (which is, let's face it,
quite possible).

Keep in mind, your .7mSec is the delay for *each* direction.... .7 in
and .7 out = 1.4mSec total. That is well within the delay time
settings for flanging and phasing.

Neil,
I have apparently been going at this native thing with some preconceptions
about ASIO direct monitoring that aren't at all accurate. I haven't been
doing much in the way of tracking (lots of mixing) so I guess that's
understandable. I was under the impression that I would not be able to
monitor previously recorded tracks with plugins inserted on the channels or
sends while tracking unless I disabled ASIO direct monitoring. Obviously
this is not the case. I just set my project to 512k buffers. It has 12
tracks already recorded. I enabled ASIO direct monitoring and inserted 9
UAD-1 plugins on various of the pre recorded tracks. I also installed one of
my outboard reverbs as a send on a few of them. I have them all (including
the outboard reverb) outputing to an analog pair that I'm sending to my
Furman HDS-16 system. At the same time, I've got 20 more audio tracks
recording. Since I have ADM there is no audible latency but the astounding
thing about it is that I'm also hearing all of the prerecorded tracks that
are being processed by the UAD-1 plugins during playback. The processing is
working and it is very obvious, and there is no latency. I didn't think this
was possible to do. My Cubase DSP meter is at about 10%. Hell, man, I could
record 20 tracks and play back 50 or 60 with no problem. Is this normal or
some kind of happy accident/bug? I shouldn't be able to hear plugins on
prerecorded tracks with ADM enabled, should I?
At this point, the only inconvenience with a tracking session is having to
mouse all of the tracks to the main monitor bus if I want to hear them
through my DAC-1. Well, during tracking, I don't necessarily need to use my
DAC-1 so I have an easy workaround bypass this to a pair of the RME outs and
split them off to the HDS-16 and my NHT PVC simultaneously.
Hell man.........this is great!

Stuff that is already recorded is no problem... you could set the
buffers to 1056 and everything would be cool. It's the "monitor what
you are currently recording" thing where latency is an issue. If you
have a way to monitor the recording signal using direct monitoring
(the input is usually routed to the same # output... 1 to 1, 2 to 2
etc.) then you are good to go. If you are trying to monitor input 1
to output 7 for instance, or a *mix* of several inputs to one output,
the delay will be noticeable. This is really noticable if you try to
monitor a stereo and mono track to one pair of outputs, as a stereo
signal has twice the latency of a mono one.

OK then.. I was wondering why I was not having any *issues* with this. I
have all mono inputs routed 1:1 to outs and the outs are feeding the mono or
stereo L/R inputs of the HDS-16 with the prerecorded tracks routed to an
analog pair of RME outs being sent to the main mix bus of the HDS-16. It
looks like the Furman HDS-16 is a great thing for this particular situation.
I was hoping to make it obsolete (and subsequently sell it off) by using the
Cubase 4 CR function, but the latency just isn't acceptable. For tracking
sessions I will use one of the HDS-16 mixers in the CR and route one of the
headphone outs to one of my PVC's which are outputting to a pair of studio
monitors. This will save much of the mousing around during tracking sessions
and when I get ready for critical listening during a mix, I can just bus the
recorded tracks as needed, monitoring off my mains which are digitally
routed to the DAC-1...........QED!!!..errrr.......sorta'.
Thanks,
;o)

Looks like this, and an insert cable from one of the headphone output of the
HRM-16 mixer to a pair of the inputs on the back of this thing would allow
me to switch to monitoring what is being played back from the tracking
busses through my control room monitors with the push of a button. I'm not
sure about the levels that would be output from the headphone amp though. I
have tried it and it's got enough gain to drive the PVC cleanly. I guess
I'd better look into this a bit further when I'm not so tired. It's been a
long day. I don't want to fry something by mismatching voltage/ impedance
between the headphone output and an input to a power amp driving my
monitors..
