Regarding DirectConnect, David Summich said he wanted to run all 3rd party DC compatible products through a detailed text matrix to insure that they (the vendors) properly implemented the DC Spec on PC. He further said these tests should occur prior to the release of the devices. (He referenced his past experience with releasing VST compatible devices that didn't fully comply with the VST Spec. I don't disagree with him on this - quality is very important). But, this is another area where it IS proper to keep the heat on Digi. Quote:
It actually works better than Digi's TDM which has no auto latency compensation. |

But as to your car analogy, I drive a Mazda Miata. I suppose I could have picked a Porsche Boxter or a BMW roadster, but the Miata's perfect for me. It corners great, looks cool, goes as fast as I would ever really need or want, and cost considerably less than either of the other options. And I don't feel like I'm giving anything up except for the "names". And the extra "bank" can go a long way towards other gear for the studio... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: MY HONEST THOUGHTS ON XP RELEASE
If rewire, and vst instruments are so important to you guys why don't you just use a sequencer that supports them. In reality you should choose the right tool for the job, and sitting here bitching and moaning about it isn't really gonna help your cause. As far as i'm concerned the Digi001 fits into a slightly more niche market than your average soundcard + sequencer combination.
Another $0.02cents Marcus |

Re: MY HONEST THOUGHTS ON XP RELEASE
Some points well made, by BRay about Digi's end of the bargain.
However I found the remarks of the UA heavy-handed leaving no room for contrary experience. In regard to the UA-1 product, it is so latency-free that they created a compensator for it. That is an interesting situation. Then you go on to say that Cubase compensates for this (non-existant) latency. The latency compensator does nothing for live monitoring, however, since a time machine has yet to be invented that could take something back in time to before it was processed and delayed. Following an equipment review in one of PriMedia's publications (Mix, EM or ???) I decided to test out the UA board myself... I found the latency to be of a level of magnitude beyond what I could stand while doing live V/O parts- and so for my application it was not usable. It may be fine for what you do, but it was not in the one we tried. For anyone to flatly state an opinion is "not true at all" belies an "authority-over-everything, dogmatic black-and-white" attitude I find somewhat off-putting, to put it politely. Re: D.C.: Since it is up to the 3rd party developers to get it right, and not for Digi to pass stuff that doesn't deserve to pass, "Keeping the 'heat' on Digi" is just silly. Sounds all militaristic and blustery, but is just pointless under the surface. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] And the UA board, while similar, did not sound the same as the outboard unit. |

Re: MY HONEST THOUGHTS ON XP RELEASE
rewire would be AWESOME! i don't think reason conflicts with digi's core mission. correct me if i'm wrong, but hasn't digi partnered up with other companies in the past to produce plugins? if digi is deliberately staying out of the business of making soft-synths, then teaming up with propellerheads to make 2 great products into one seamless amazing product could only increase sales, right?

I've been using a Korg OASYS PCI (DSP EFX & Synths) for a year, so I'm very familiar with DSP latency issues. You deal with it just like everything else in life. That's why they call it Recording Engineering. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Regarding the quality of their plug-ins is concerned, that's always a matter of opinion. I like 'em (I've heard them on several occasions). As soon as I upgrade to Cubase SX, I'm going to pick up one. I think the UAD-1 is an outstanding product...I'm looking forward to using it. They're adding the Pultec EQ to their lineup. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] You can attack my views on the DC & RTAS Instrument situation all you want. My views are based on quotes from 3rd party vendors, Digi engineers and my understanding of the product development process. That's one of the purposes of forums like this...to express opinions and view points. I welcome oppossing views. As an academic exercise, it would be more interesting if they were based on something a little more substantial. |
