Re: Love em or Hate Waves finally puts DLS bundles on sale

All other FW or USB interfaces will be significantly higher latency through PT because of the i/o bufering needed to get on and off the USB/FW bus. Other PCI solutions can certainly approach the 1.8ms number and theoretically can be even faster if the driver is very efficient (necessary since PT driver is near zero latency) and the D/A A/D is faster. Still - marginally faster is all that is possible - maybe 1.6ms. At 44.1 for an AVID interface A/D D/A time is 1.9ms. Many other interfaces are faster at this - some are slower. With regards to latency THROUGH ProTools - The A/D + D/A time + (i/o time to get on and off whatever bus is used - FW, USB, Ethermet, PCI, TB) + 2*(PtoTools buffer Setting)/(Sample Rate) = Round Trip Latency (RTL)

For complete accuracy one may have to also add in any samples of delay the particular plugins may also add...

Maybe I should give "autotune live" another go. We are on hdx but keep an HD rig floating mainly just for clients who want to record thru autotune (tdm). No one here trusts "autotune live" will do the job and provide the stability of autotune tdm. |

Re: Love em or Hate Waves finally puts DLS bundles on sale
I called Waves about a DLS system, but found out you have to use them in the Studio Rack only. If you want to use individual plugins you have to stay Native. So, I won't be buying one. Waves has really made a bad decision to go rack only for the DLS in my opinion.

Re: Love em or Hate Waves finally puts DLS bundles on sale
yes auto tune live is the way to go. that is actually the only native plug in i know of that is actually designed to track with. I have used it extensively and i can say at a low buffer it is suitable. its not as good as auto tune TDM but it works well enough. It really is sad that people would spread misinformation and swear its true but i guess it makes them feel better somehow. for example my normal channel strip for my vocals would be auto tune tdm> digi 1 band eq tdm> digi delay tdm>sometimes rverb on an HD system. On a HDnative system i can only use auto tune live kind of sucks but at least antares was smart enough to make a native solution. if u add a eq and delay to the chain it will be unusable so i dont what those other jokers are referring to when the falsely claim that there are certain native plug ins u can track with no problems. a one band digi eq and a digi delay are about as low latency as u can get but it wont work on HDnative i have tried it would be nice but its not happening. I have never used auto tune live on an Mbox or 003 so i cant say if it will work but i have used it a lot on HDnative and it is fine at 64 or 128 buffer 256 is borderline but still workable 512 almost unusable

Re: Love em or Hate Waves finally puts DLS bundles on sale
So to put the claim of one to rest, I thought I'd provide a bit of proof.
Disclaimer. I'm not using autotune live so I cannot say how much latency it adds, that's not what my artist need while tracking. Also to note, while I'm using PT HD 11, I'm using a liquid saffire 56 as interface, so this is a pure native system that I'm showing. Note that I have the session running at 96khz, and the LS56 buffer is at 256. Noticed that the record armed track is showing a 39 samples delay .. so that's 39th of 96000 of a second. Eq1 (0 samples) Pro compressor (0 samples) Maag eq 4 (0 samples) Pro limiter (the culprit with 39 samples) As you can see the session was running, with over 50 tracks of music and vocals, including some VI's that are not shown in the pick. No one that has been using my studio has complained about having problems. So if you choose carefully the plugins you use, you can indeed track through them without problems. But on the other hand, if I was doing a bigger project and was further down the mix stage (which this song was not) then I'd definitely recommend a HDX system (which all of the plugins I am using in this recording chain are dsp too hehe). |

Re: Love em or Hate Waves finally puts DLS bundles on sale
Not sure what we are trying to prove here - of course you can track at 96kHz 64buffer through plugins even - done it tons of times.
As far as what latency is acceptable - its always a personal choice. For me - more than 3.5ms is objectionable (comb filtering - not slap back) and more than 5ms very objectionable. As far as the latency of the above signal path it is... A/D + D/A time + any driver buffer latency to get things on and off the FW or USB bus (usually 1ms each) + 2*256/96000 + 39/96000. For the parts we know that is A/D + D/A + Driver buffer + 5.74ms.... probably the total is ~7 to 8ms.
