Apollo DSP usage when idle
When my Apollo is just plugged into the computer the DSP is at 17%. Is it always like this?

Re: Apollo DSP usage when idle
Try opening the control panel, then the system tab I think it is. Turn off the blue button on the left. Now switch off the hardware. Leave for 10 secs, power on again. This should clear the DSP.

Also, any plug-ins added in the Console app are just for recording to disk when tracking to the DAW, right? My other question is about the +4/-10db option for the line inputs. You set this according to the cable type being used (balanced vs unbalanced), right? Thanks, Adam |

Re: Apollo DSP usage when idle
All our 3 Apollo Quad and Apollo 16 interfaces displays a CPU. usage even when PTHD11 is closed, i sent a support ticket to UA and they said that the Console Software draws a little CPU from the Shark Processors and it was a normal thing to do so,
Regarding -10/+4 we always have the +4 on as thats the most used setting according to UA Best Regards Christopher

What made you choose the Apollo's verses being the satellite version if using UA Plugins was the motivator? What are your thought on the DA side of the unit?

Love the DA and the Unison preamp stuff even though we use outboard when tracking for release sessions. Works great We have 2 Quad satellites aswell so we have 3 X 4 Shark Processors with UA now. Also we use our HDX system when we have stemmed out all the audio tracks and traded in our old HD3 rig a while ago. We have had good luck on all systems we have with UA and HDX so thats where we stand today Christopher

'Fraid not...you set +4/-10 based on the levels of the equipment being connected. While a lot of +4 gear does have balanced I/O, by no means is unbalanced I/O unusual in pro gear. And while I can't think of any names at the moment, there are a few-highly regarded equipment designers who would stuff a soldering iron some place where you really wouldn't want it to be if you tried to get them to use balanced I/O on their gear. While I've never seen any -10 gear with balanced I/O, I assume it could be built. So, if the connectors aren't marked on the panel, you'll need to check the manual(s)...

Re: Apollo DSP usage when idle
Hey. I still have a question when using the console app w/ PT11 (I don't have HD). Is the only reason to add plugins in the console app to record the track w/ all the plugin chosen to the DAW drive. I.e once you record into pro tools w/ the plug-ins chosen in console, the console plugins are no longer editable and committed to the recorded track in PT, right? They talk about copying the plugins from console into PT. What's the point of this? Unless I'm wrong about the plugins in console being committed to the DAW once recorded.. I.e. once these plugins are recorded to the DAW they are set in stone?

Re: Apollo DSP usage when idle
I can't wait for the new Console 2 from UA that has a crapload of new fantastic features inplemented and its free for everyone who has UA gear! Fantastic!
With the new console you will be able to choose on a track by track basis if ypu wanna commit or just monitor the Track/Tracks and thats a great new feature to have. Check out the Fab Dupont videos from Namm and see the new GUI and new features. Looks superb!
