Bouncing large mixes - how do you do this?

[redroomstudio]

Hi

I want to hear what people do when they bounce/print their mixes when they got this scenario:

I mix using all the I/O of a 003, including the 8 channels of ADAT for hardware-inserts in my mix.
I also use a lot of plugins so my system is more or less maxed out when the mix is done.
NOW: the mix consists of several buses put on aux tracks (drums, reverbs etc etc) and in order to do this I mix with full (1024) H/W buffer size and Low Latency Monitoring. If I were to bounce in this state all the auxes would be bypassed (because of LLM). If i turn of my LLM and put H/W buffer size to 64 or 128 the system crashes.

This leaves my with only one option: recording the mix from the 1-2 output of PT 003 while still in LLM and 1024 H/W size. And that is what I´trying to avoid because of the not so good DA converter.

Anyone got a workaround for this problem?

Thanx!

Are you using all 32 busses? Are you using your S/PDif i/o too?

Hi

No, not using all the busses or s/p dif. But if i put all the outputs to a bus and try to record that bus (on another track internally) I get latency on my auxes (timing does not match the audiotracks)..... am I missing something? Same thing if I try to route out of the s/p dif. Latency...

the obvious answer is you are working beyond your studios technical capabilities!

why not bounce through stems where possible?
