OK,

Before you guys start getting too exicted about this, it appears that there
is one more hoop to jump through if you are using multiple MECs. When
looping audio from Paris *through* Cubase SX channels while Cubase SX is
slaved to Paris ADAT sync, Cubase crashes once audio is being looped from
two different MECs. This is likely due to the latency between EDS cards
causing a trainwreck with the clocking.
This will not be an issue to those who are not wanting to have plugin
automation in SX. As long as SX is not slaving to the Paris timeline, the
audio passes through the audio interface on Cubase and back to Paris with no
problem. If, however, you want to automate plugin parameters, you will need
both machines timeline synced so that you can write automation data to
Cubase SX.

I am hoping to solve this problem by sending Paris ADAT sync to a JL Cooper
Datasync II unit which converts ADAT timecode to MTC and then slaving Cubase
SX to incoming MTC form the Datasync II.

Thank goodness for yet another kludge. I thought I had finally succeeded in
accomplishing everything I started out to do and there was this sudden
realization that my life would have no further purpose.

;o)

Further repeated testing has verified that when Paris ADAT sync output is
hooked directly up to the RME audio interface ADAT sync input, if ASIO
positioning protocall is selected as the Cubase sync sounce, even if the RME
transport is set to internal so that the Cubase transport is not chasing the
Paris timeline, Cubase will crash within 5 seconds of the beginning of an
audio track from Submix 2/card B/MEC 2 starting to play.

Setting sync source in Cubase SX to MTC (with no midi interface selected) so
that there is no interfacing between the Paris ADAT module and Cubase SX
works fine......no crashes of cubase SX when processing tracks from multiple
submixes in Paris.

Thanks for you input on this Dave. Hopefully the Datasync II will do the
trick.

The Cubase rig just crashed while not receiving any sync info at all between
Paris and Cubase. Not good. I've got another trick up my sleeve. Stay tuned.

Hmmm......this just may not be possible to achieve. I've got both systems
clocked to the Lucid....No ADAT sync is interfaced with the RME cards. The
jury is still out on whether or not this is going to fly. The latency
between EDS cards and the audio being streamed from ADAT modules that are
clocked to those cards may be an insurmountable issue here.

looks like it's time to set up a third computer with a basic music app..that
can send a start/stop signal to an external clock module which all your
goodies can then sync to


or not

DJ'
I'm starting to think it may be time for you to make the jump to a Dualcore
intel box and
2 UAD PCI-e cards running Cubase 4. I know you have invested alot of time
and
brain power into this,lord knows I'm exhausted just reading it. I think you
would be
better using PARIS as a summing buss. At least thats what I'm coming to believe.
I'm going to use my old B&W G3 for my PARIS system and build a Dualcore Intel
box and run Cubase 4 and be done with it.

I'm still lookng into this. There are some things about it that aren't
adding up. It seems that the problem must be when a digital signal is sent
out the RE ADAT output to be returned to Paris after processing on an
individual channel, though Paris isn't the app that is crashing. If I just
stream audio from Cubase SX to Paris and sum it there with Paris in Live Mix
mode......including send effects, no crashing. It's when the audio is looped
*through* across EDS cards with Paris in *always monitro input mode that
Cubase crashes.......even when both machines are only WC synced with SX
receiving no positioning info and not chasing Paris. I'm going to try the
Datasync solution, but I doubt if it will cure this issue. I may have hit an
insurmountable barrier here.......the sample latency between EDS
cards/submixes seems to be the culprit. I have also tried it without any
external hardware boxes being attached to the RME cards in the SX DAW. Makes
no difference. Oh well, I can live with the scenario I was using before but
it doesn't sound quite as good as what I am trying to do with using SX
solely as an FX processor.

Well.........I'm baffled by this and I'm just going to let it slide for a
while. Looping audio *through* SX so that it functions as a standalone FX
processor has been a total bust so far. OTOH, streaming tracks directly from
SX (lots of them) to Paris and summing there does not create the clocking
trainwreck that looping through the inserts does. I guess it must be the
loop that is causing it as opposed to the one way trip.

C'est la ****'in vie

I wonder if this isn't working because some of the UAD-1 plugins (like the
Neve EQ for instance) are upsampling what is essentially a Paris audio file
being played *through* SX with none of the downsampling possible that would
normally be part of the DSP process in SX to resolve the sample rate of the
plugin to the project sample rate/clock source. If so, that would certainly
explain some things. It might also explain why the UAD-1 card with ADAT I/O
that was on the boards a few years ago went nowhere and why the POCO,
Duende, etc. do not have digital I/O and only work in a plugin format. If
these processors were
upsampling/downsampling in real time, the SR converters/clocking shenanigans
that would be necessary to bring the audio signal back to the project sample
rate would put the pricepoint through the roof.

Well.....it's just a thought........

;O)

No wonder you're almost "hairless" Deej...you need to start winding
down...relax a little and stop re-inventing the wheel.
Use Paris as it's meant to be, or use Cubase, (or whatever), and get all the
goodies.
Why not just master in Paris??

How's Amy...you do remember her, don't you?

Martin,
We think alot alike,maybe it because we are about the same age;with in days!
I think? I was born 4 July 1956,you the 3rd of July if I remember correctly?

you should see how deej makes toast...oy...264 ramblers standing on
end with the hoods removed about 3 inches apart. i mean it works but
just a tad excessive. but then, that's our deej isn't it.

aren't all the machines set to the same sample rate?

Yes, they are, but the UAD-1 upsamples during processing with the Fairchild,
1073, Pultec and some others.

Ya know I actually understood that....scarey

would putting SX into record mode complete that circuit in the UAD?

Martin, I'm with you & Nappy. I like tinkering, too, but at
some stage if something gets too convoluted, you start reaching
a point of diminishing returns. Deej, have you considered that
part of your issue with sync/lock might be that you're going in
& out of both machines in digital? What would happen if you
switched to analog? I mean, you've got good convertors on both
ends there, so I'd hardly think signal degradation would be a
problem.

Either that or just track in Paris, export the files so you can
mix in SX (even upsample to 96k on the way in, if you must!) so
you can use all your EFX, but use four submixes out of your
Multiface analog outs, then back into your Paris box to sum in
live mode. That way you get to hit those Paris convertors one
more time, in fact. :)

Heck, with most of the stuff you do (bluegrass, folkish stuff,
etc) "clean" is good... you could live perfectly happily with
just SX & those nice clean RME convertors.

Heaven forbid! lol

What a bunch we are here!
That explains it.
DJ,I want you to know I've got a ton of respect for you,and I
think what you're doing in your studio is very creative.
It truly makes my head spin,and I think I'm a pretty smart guy.
Keep your note on this whole process I may go your way in the end,who knows.
I like to keep a open mind. Thanks for blazing t trail for us all!

Hey Nappy,

I like to try to make DAWs perform unnatural acts. :o)

I'll keep everyone posted if I can find a way to get this happening. Dave
(EK) had some suggestions yesterday that I'm going to try.

Cheers,

Deej

are we talking bit rate or sample rate? i no longer have my uad card
but thought they worked at the pre specified rate of the audio. maybe
you can put a dummy file in sx to lock the uad sample rate to match
the rest.
