I not sure I see any false claim, Apogee's info is here to see. I don't see
them talking about running software instruments.

Apparently some Logic users see it as misleading (as do quite a few other
pros I know), and those numbers quote plugin counts. With most DAWs, that
equates directly to VSTi's (which are also plugins...). It's isn't the
whole story. The website never says - "you won't get this kind of latency
with VSTis the way you do with other DAWs on ASIO". ;-)) And that's
exactly what I said in my post: Apogee only posted *part* of the story.
Really, I only posted this for those that might be interested in actually
knowing what systems will do vs. what marketing would lead you to believe.
These are the kind of real world reports that make or break a buying
decision for those of us looking for really powerful systems and wanting to
know exactly what we are getting, not just assume because we love the
company behind it....
If you track all day for living, it sounds like a great system (but so is an
RME MADI rig). If you run VSTi's, investigate it more and try before you
buy, or look elsewhere in known waters (ASIO 2 systems), at least for now
until there's either more info and/or Apogee beefs up their system/drivers.
The point isn't to defend or attack anyone - it's just to get to the bottom
of what products *really* do so we know before we buy.
As long as customers defend manufacturers out of blind loyalty, getting an
honest answer and better products from those developers will only get more
and more difficult.

Dedric, I see the truth as the truth. It's good to be educated as to what
a system is capable of. It's not good to assume things. It is explained
that they are running 26 fx plugins with 32 tracks at 96k with a buffer
setting of 32 and getting 1.6 millisecond of latency using Logic 7.2.2.
If what they are saying is not true somebody should sue them. On the other
hand, if somebody assumes that they can run a different version of Logic
with a different set up and run virtual instruments, I don't think you can
expect to get the same results. Apogee is clear about the set up, however
I do think they should have more information and be more clear about the
plugins counts. They should separate the maximum plugin count and the latency
test, it's a bit confusing.

Um... okay. Sounds like you are just defending Apogee for no good reason,
esp. considering I didn't attack them, so give me a break with the "not good
to make assumptions" lecture. For the last time - I posted this so people
who have a real world interest in working with this kind of gear would know
what to look out for, and you jump in to defend Apogee's marketing.
If you have experience with real world use as a composer on an Apogee
Symphony system and think the Logic user misguided in his evalution, I'm
sure the Logic forum would be most interested in your input.
It's getting way too difficult to post anything that even hints at the word
"Apple" here, so I'll take future technical discussions to other forums with
more objectivity and interest in the real world reports rather than
marketing interpretation debates.

Dedric, I think your right, we need to know what users think and are able
to do with a system. I'm not trying to blindly defend.

Hi Dedric,
Apogee is doing nothing that hasn't been done by RME and Lynx for going
on 3 years now on PC and now on Intel Macs.
If I want a proprietary hardware system I'd just buy Pro Tools and be
done with it.
Now that RME and Lynx are starting to release PCI-e cards the Symphony
looks less and less attractive.
Not really sure what is good about it. Only thing I could see is it
being the first PCI-e card for the MAC.
About the only fair comparison would be between and RME Madi card at 96k
and see how it compares against the Symphony numbers.
They both at this point would need to be running Logic 8 on Leopard to
be accurate.
I like that Apogee doesn't post the test session on the web site for
users to down load.
It would be the fair way for people to see what the card can do compared

Sorta reminds me of the vague claims Rain Recording made about Vista
with nothing to back it up other than Microsoft and Cakewalk press releases.

Chris,
Not to get too OT here but my two DAWs are, as you know based on GA-K8Ns
Ultra 939's with Opteron 185's. The slave DAW has 2 x HDSP 9652's and is
only used for VSTi's and is systemlinked using the full 24 bit path between
one of the slave ADAT ports and the Multiface ADAt port. The master DAW has
2 x 13 slot Magmas. One of the Magmas has a Multiface, a MADI and AES 32.
the other has 4 x UAD-1's and 2 x POCO's. It so stable I'm in shock. I have
had these DAWs online, systemlinked and and working without a single glitch
for almost a month without powering down.
Not a crash, not even a hiccup. I've never once seen that happen with a Mac.
How are those new generation Intel Quads? I saw a post by Scott on the
Nuendo forum that was pretty high praise. Are they to the point now that I
could work at 64k buffers 24/7 with relatively high track counts and use my
32 bit Magma's in a newer compatible mobo with 2 x PCI slots? without having
IRQ trainwrecks? The only reason I'd even consider doing this would be to
lose the necessity for ADM, though that's really less and less of an issue.
Still, it would be nice to just set & forget and be able to use the Cubase
CR function full time for OD's if necessary, even when in the process of
mixing.
Get my drift? ;o)

Hi Deej,
With your whacked setup I couldn't tell ya. With those old TC POCOs,
Magma and UADs with the 4 and 8 cores machines. Personally I would wait
for the UAD-2 card to come out. It will stream line you setup sense it
projected to have processing power of 3 current UADs.
The only thing preventing you from working at that buffer now are the
UAD and TC cards. The way they function and the impact on the PCI buss
for them and the Magma prevents that low or lower of a buffer.

Thank you Chris for stating what I have been saying for years now.
All this tech talk :($$$$$$$$$$) about low latency on native solutions, is
very costly AND, I might add, as Thad has said on numerous ocassions, have
gained nothing!! due to that fact that we are all beholding to MS Vista/XP
and OSX..
On the Nuendo.com website 10 mile post on system performance specs is sickening!.
Who cares? All, one should want is
A stable running system, that performes the task thats needed.
I'm with the get Protools HD(X) and be done with it. There are those on this
and other sites how have sunk major$$$$ trying to "perice-Mill_ a working
DAW hat outperforms ProTools HD. That's cool, but I would these folks have
spent "More" money than just buying a super hot-rod ProTools HD6..
Note: Out 2 HD rigs on G5's also run Nuendo(Via Digis Asio drivers)..Runs
great, and is as stable as ever. I can mix a 70 track project with alot of
plugins on that baby. So, Getting a ProTools HD rig is not 'So Closed" as
some here believes.
Back to the subject:
If you were to do a search on Gearslutz on the symphony, yoou'd see that
I slammed that card saying that "for a 1k or even 700 dollars, "What am I
getting".. No DSP, nothing but a glorified half baked mixer that allows you
to play itunes .. Not impressed.
While we're onthe subject, I think RME's total mix should be simplified like
Motu's MkIII DSP cue mixer app. Simple, yet very powerful.
Now look at all of us-you who have stayed on the PC/Mac upgrade bandwagon.
Spent $$$ major money chasing the zero latency Native dream..Only to run
into the win XP/Vista brick wall of doom..
The lie of the 64 bit dream.. Dual core this and that..SHAM!!!
My Win ME Paris (4 card) rig still is as stable as it ever was.
All in all, it's your money, spend it how you may, but one thing is for sure,
If are working on a major lable recording, it better be delivered in ProTools..
You want a job working a sudio or media house, you better know Pro Tools..
So, we can sit hear discussing Native torture test wasting time(IMHO) when
a vialble solution is already on the market that can be had these days for
under 10k..belive it or not.hat yields a very polished sound, very very flexible
i/o routing for hardware owners..super low-latency that allows you to track
and mixrealtime live sessions..and oh yeah.. Super stable..
So, just look at the reciepts from the last 5 years on or Native Dream journey
and add em up. Then, add up all those clients who utter that all familiar
phrase" Do you have Pro Tools"?..
I guess it comes down to is his this: Are you in the game or are you not?
Simple..

FWIW, i found interesting too, Dedric.
And Lamont, the Native Upgrade stream is nowhere near as bad as
you make it out to be... for what I have in terms of
capabilities in Native-land, it would cost me at LEAST $20k in
Pro-Tools gear & ware to achieve... and that's not even counting
plugins, which are unGAWDly expensive for PT due to the TDM
licensing fees that developers have to pay to Digi. I've
probably got less than 1,500 bucks invested in plugins, and
i've got dozens upon dozens of them because there's so much
freeware VST development going on - i'm sure i'd be looking at
another ten grand, minimum, if I were to try & assemble a
comparable TDM plugin arsenal. So there's $30k for PTHD & plugs
right there. No way have I spent even a quarter of that on every
Native rig, plugin, and upgrade chase since I've been doing this
stuff!

Glad I still get name checked every now and then ;-)
I still think native is the way to go unless someone is running a big for
hire room, and let's face it more of those are shutting down than starting
up.
One thing about the RME mixer, it shouldn't be changed at all. It's the most
flexible, powerful audio interface mixer I've ever seen. It's incredibly
easy to use, just a little tricky to learn. I'll take that over a photorealistic
mixer that's less powerful any day.
Then again, I'm a linux geek. Then again, so are the RME guys.

Hey Neil, I'll get you current PT HD2/With Hardware and plugins quote.
Also, you do know that with FX xpansion VST to RTAS converter, all your and
my VST plugins show up in ProTools?? So, thatends that argument..
Lastly, use what You like, but I still say that the Pro Native route is very
costly and just as expensive as a DSP based DW rig..

Really? And it works properly & everything? Everything's fully-

Look, I'm no PT hater anymore - not since HD anyway - I think
those HD192 convertors sound pretty damn good, and I've heard a
couple of ITB mixes done in HD that I thought sounded just fine.
I just don't think $20k as a starting point for an equivalently-
capable system to what I have now is a cost-justifiable expense
for me. As I've said before, if I was trying to make my living
off this stuff that'd be a different story - i'd definitely be
on PTHD... not that you CAN'T make money without it, it's just
easier to make money WITH it, methinks... especially when
you've got clients asking for it specifically, and when it's
easier to take projects started at one studio & complete them
at yours if you've got a great mixing environment (or
conversely, if you've got a great tracking room, but another
place has the "hot" mix room in town, start 'em at your place
& the client can mix elsewhere), without format worries, OMF
issues, etc. But me with my little facility that generates just
a little bit of part-time cash... I can't see that kind of
expense being justifiable. That's probably close to what I have
invested in EVERYTHING recording-wise, except for instruments.

So LaMont. A VST wrapper would allow me to use my 4 x UAD-1 cards and 2 x
POCO's and I could get 24 AD/DA's along with an additional 50 digital I/O
for interfacing my outboard gear and VSTi's ......all for under under $10K?
Thanks,
Deej

Hey DJ,
I don;t know about about 10k for all that I/o, BUT! :)All that under ProTools
HD or Even Motu's Hardware..But, let stick to PT HD..
I would gurantee you that you 'mad-scientist' daw i.o config under PT HD
would be simplified to point of pure pleasure. Being that you could:
-Name and save various hardware setups(nothing new) but just more elegant.
-Way better I/O routing than RME's Mixer and Steinbergs i/o routing.
-Even with PT HD9 with 4 apogee adda16, Lynx Aurora 16's..It would be ONE
(ono) 1 unified sysyem.. And not a hosh-posh ..Now you tell me, How much
is that worth to you? Then, add up all of that 'Man-Hours' to get your Dream
Native rig going and running smoothly , tracking, overdub, mixing.????

Lamont, your point is somewhat prickly, but probably true. My guess is
DJ wouldn't give up the hot-rodding for anything. He lives for it.

Ok, my mad scientist friend. Take a look at this and see if this could work

One other thing, Lamont. As an application PT, in the immortal words of Bart
Simpson, somehow manages to suck and blow at the same time. If you want my
copy of Live you're going to be prying it out of my cold, dead, sampler loving
hands. SX 4 is pretty sweet as well.
I'm at a point now financially where I could buy a PT HD 1 rig just for my
house if I chose. I haven't and don't plan to, which I think says something.
I'm also a professional dweeb so running an native audio system is a hell
of a lot easier for me than for most people who have not experience the sweet
joys of hand compiling CISCO iscsi adapters for Solaris 8.

Thad, whatever floats your boat. But, that's not what we're talking about
hear. Live is a different animal than PTHD.
Yes, pro work can and IS done on Live , Acid,Sonar,Fruity Loops..But, at
the end of the day, when you turn in that project to a Label, it's better
be in PT format.
I disagree with that PT sucks. It does not. It's not my favorite DAW, but
when you learn it, it's a VERY powerful DAW who's I/O routing is second to
none for ITB & OTB productions.
By you stating that you could purchase HD1 and choose not, Says Nothing..Only
that you chose not to.. Simple.
I'm a Pro who has both DSP (Paris & PTHD2) as well as Native(Nuendo, DP,
ProTools M Powered-via Laptop) AND it's all good.
My point was and is: That Native is not necessarily cheap and keeps the PRo(Engineer/Producer)
swamped down in TECH stuff,a not on music production which as we know, Time
is Money$$.
My Neundo Rig is very powerful..down right sweet!! :) But, being bogged down
is performance test, when we know as you have stated on many occassions,
were fuitle.Being that we chained with current current Operating systems
of the DAY (XP/Vista) OSX.
The Promise of the great 64 bit speed boost( Yeah right). 8-16 core processors,
with not apps or OS (For Music) coded to take advantage of all that power.
Actualy James M was right. It's all about Marketing and taking all of for
ride to Sell Sell Sell.
Meanwhile, A Decent off the shelf Computer(Compaq, HP, Dell-gulp) with an
additional HD, bump is memory can a have High -Track count yielding native
DAW with the right Interface, can have near zero tracking latency.
As a person who use to Build DAws for local studios and producers,my point
of view does not put $$ in the pockets of said DAW builders. Ok enough of
that..
I guess I'm just tired of the Speed bump test that really only yeild marginal
gains That cost $$$ cannot be justified for such marginal gains. It's been
almost 5 years of trying to break the so-called 96k zero latency barrier,
and where are we ???

Lamont - fwiw, when I posted this I *was* talking about comparing different
*native* systems,
and comparing marketing hype to reality so people actually buying and using
these systems
will know what to expect and what not to expect. PT and hybrid systems had
nothing to do with it,
other than the fact that Digi is the king of turning marketing hype into
sales.
I don't know of anyone scoring and doing sound design for film in ProTools,
and that's
the market this thread was derived from, not recording and mixing bands.
It really doesn't matter if you think ProTools is the end-all be-all or not,
no one knows what the best tool for a job is better than the person doing
that work, and using that tool. I wouldn't begin to suggest that Thad use
PT for what he can and wants to do in Live.
No one told Picasso he needed to buy a paint factory in order to paint a
masterpiece.

Hey Dedric, I really thought your info was very informative and added weight
to my points about the cost of native. Great info indeed. YOu are right,
people need to no these things instead of going by the marketing hype.
I do know of folks who use of "Hybrid" DP-soft/HD hardware to score . As
well as, Logic Soft/HD hardware. Then, too ProTools for Dubbing..
You are right, I stated use what you like. But, stand by my words in saying
that most if not all major labels and films projects want the final delivery
on Pro Tools. AND, if you r going to work as studio engineer for a : Private,
personal, Semi, full-blown facility, you gonna need to know protools , and
know it well..
Do I think PT is the be all end all, no. But, It's really good at what does
and Provides.

And we've been over this LaMont. Yes, marketers exaggerate. Not just in the
MI business but in any business. A smart consumer realizes this and has an
independent mind. And if you believed the hype about 64 bit integer processors
after I explained a dozen times whey it was fairly small news, well, you
can lead a horse to water but if you can get a bug do dance the achy breaky
heart then you're getting somewhere.
As far as tech problems, we've been over that as well. I don't understand
why musicians and audio engineers feel exempt from learning the technology
they choose. Photographers don't complain they have to learn about optics.
Architects realize that if they want to use AutoCAD instead of a protractor,
t-sqaure, balsa wood, and glue then they'll have to deal with some computer
issues. It always blows my mind that musicians and producers who can explain
the minutest issues involving amplifier tubes, microphone capsules, and preamp
transistors consider their computers to be such unimportant tools that they
are not willing to become as familiar with how they work just like they know
the rest of the gear in their studio.

I have a digi nubus soundesigner ll card.$1100)If I followed the digi
upgrade train from that point (1994),I would have lost about $100K in yet
more useless obsolete basement clogging shit.I have no regrets in following
RME/Steinberg.It works for me.

Hey ..the RME /Steinberg route is very nice and very Powerful. I think that
you need to redo your math on the 100k digi upgrade.
I went from a audiomedia (still have) to Pro Tools 001(cost 400.00) From
there, toa Mix Plus..Cost (great deal $3,800 with 1622 interface)...From
there..HD2acel..cost $6,500.00 with -1-192.
I don't see where 100k comes in. Nor do I know of any of my buddies who spent
100k in upgrading their PT DAWS..

my math was following every upgrade as they were available.including the
overpriced macs needed to run it.
someone jumping in today wouldn't see those incremental costs. what kind of
"math" are you using?

Everyone I know that kept up with the upgrades and went with full blown PT
rigs to support
higher track and plugin counts (as many as we get with native) spent way
more than the $10k you listed
below, for a commercial studio (not an upgrade from an Audiomedia, or
PT001).
e.g. A friend of mine went to Mix Plus way back a few years after it first
came out, with ProControl (I believe):
total was $40k, and that was considered a modest PT rig at the time - that
followed his O2R, ADATs, multiple consoles, etc.
I don't know if/when he went HD, but that's even more on top. I'm also not
sure if the $40k included
any plugins at the time - probably some basic plugins but I'm sure he
expanded/added to it down the road.

of plugins on these PT HD upgrades..

Sorry I did'nt see the last part.. Well, yes when add a Pro Control in the
mx, that can add up ..I'm just talking about the incremental updates, in-which

There are many more studios/ owners who are still on the Mix system than
HD..
