It integrates wonderfully with Cubase and the routing possibilities are mind
boggling. When everything gets here next week my system will have 3 x cards
with a total of 20 DSP processors, 56 x ADAT I/O (32 of which are
configurable to s/pdif pairs) plus a coaxial s/pdif I/O, an AES I/O and 20
analog I/O.
I just got the first mix happening on it tonight. It integrates just fine
with Cubase SX though I'm not sure exactly how many ways it can be
configured. Right now I've got 40 tracks in Cubase being processed with
whatever UAD-1 plugins and ASIO'ed to the Scope mixer where more plugins can
be applied if needed. Since I'm sending mono tracks, I'm having to pan in
Scope. I'm going to try to get my head around how to program my Steiny
Houston controller to do this or get myself some kind of secondary
controller and map it to the Scope environment.
I'm a long way from getting my head totally around the possibilities of
this................but it's very nice, and very stable.
Paris' days may be numbered after all. I';ll have to see how I like tracking
on this system first. Paris is the best tracking system out there IMHO. I
think it's possible to track somehow in Scope with zero latency, just like
in Paris. There's something called a VDAT recorder bundled with the system.
I guess this could be used and then the tracks flown into Cubase for editing
and mixing. I just haven't gone there yet.

Deej.
I'm inches away from digging in deep to the Scope world too.
I have been watching it for almost one year with no funds
to support my needs. I just bought the parts for a reasonable
duo core and am hoping to implement a 14 chip Scope Pro=20
card asap as my ADAT interface among other things. The Classic
version seems best for my needs with Paris and two active
ADAT cards in XP.
I've also been watching your trials and tribulations as they occur
on both newsgroups. Thanks for all the heads ups! I'll meet you
at the coda.

I'm using a Mytek converter (and was sometimes using my RME Multiface
converters) and I have ordered the Creamware A16 Ultra. If I decide to drop
Paris altogether, I'll probably trade the ADAT plate (24 ADAT I/O or 12
S/Mux) on one of my cards for a Plus Plate (stereo AES, Stereo balanced
AD/DA, 16 ADAT configurable to two pair optical s/pdif and I'll have all the
digital routing capabhilities I'll ever likely need for my outboard gear at
mixdown.If I decide to even use it. This things sounds so good that I may be
doing more stuff ITB. Some Apogees with softlimit or maybe some of those new
RME units with the autogain control for tracking might eliminate the need
for a bunch of outboard compressors I use now. I'm not going to get too
frisky about leaving Paris just yet. There's still a lot to love about it.
We'll see.

Hi DJ,
Awesome to hear the you got positive results. How many Pulsar cards did
you install? Was it just the one you got for now?
Hopefully it will all work out so that you can finally give up the ghost
of Paris. Maybe you even be able to have time to do enough sessions to
start paying for all this..:)

heheheh!!!...I can only do this if I decide to sell Paris because if I
decide to keep using Paris, I will need the 24 ADAT I/O on the ADAT plate
for mixing.
It's like making the decision to trade for the Plus plate is pretty much
like making the decision to move totally away from Paris.
It's a tempting thought but it's a move I'm not ready to make yet. Maybe in
a month. I'm going to have to try to run a heavy tracking session with the
Scope system and then do a mix with it. I'll have 22 I/O with Scope (A16U,
Mytek converters into Pulsar II AES and 4 x AD/DA's on Pulsar II and Pulsar
Home cards). That's plenty for any situation around here. If I like it and
it's easy, then I'm likely to be switching platforms for good.
The one thing that bothers me though is that using Scope, I'm still using
two different mixers.........the Cubase mixer and the Scope mixer. I like
the editing power of Cubase. I need to figure out a way to integrate these
two so that I can use a mixer surface with both of them. Maybe a Mackie
controller would do this?

Chris...so far I've got two working in my 7 slot Magma (using mobo PCI slot
#4) with a 3rd one coming with a custom cable that will reach PCI slot #3 in
my mobo. These cards will be on IRQ 17 & 18 of the ASUS A8V-Dlx. The 13 slot
Magma will have the host card in PCI slot #4 and all 4 of the UAD-1 cards
will be on IRQ #19.
So far, so good. I'm really surprised at how much more stable the Pulsar's
are than the RME cards (but we haven;'t added the third Pulsar card yet, now
have we?)
I'm playing back fairly decent track count projects (40) in Cubase SX at 3ms
buffers that would be impossible to to with the RME hardware until I set
buffers to at least 512k.

Hi DJ,
I'm pretty sure you might have either had something wrong with one of
the RMEs. I've far more elaborate clock setup and multi-card setups than
what you last had with no performance issues. I wonder if card could
have been damaged with some of those motherboard problems you had in the
past.
If your experiences go well with the cream ware I might look into us
carrying them again. Had too many bad issues in the past but looks like
possibly they might working things out.

Chris,
The cards all work perfectly on their own. They were also stable when
receiving clock individually from cables of equal length. Less so when
slaved to ADAT or WC and then daisy chained. My routing scenario became so
convoluted here that clocking 3 x units (daisy chained or not) with cables
of varying lengths could have been the last nail. I think it was more the
clocking. There were a lot of cables of different lengths and other
variables that are definitely "no-no's" The single cable scenario seems to
have worked with the Pulsar. It also worked if I had just a single RME card
being clocked from Paris.....and would have probably worked OK with a MADI.

Maybe we can get DJ some bands so record. That should take his mind off
the diddling. Kind of mercy recordings. I hate the diddling here. I
just want to make music.

OK, he got back to me now... kewl - I had a few more questions
for him, based on his replies, then perhaps it's "follow the
