Latency is like another Host (cubase logic...) but now any plugs or instruments are compensated with delay compensation. for users UAD too !!!! no more ATA , no more Ping.

Hey there, I'd like to know how you went about setting up the Alphalink to run on Pro Tools 9.

I've got 2 Alphalinks AX and the madixtreme 128 PCIe card.

Now, I try to set them up on the Pro Tools Aggregate, but unless I have my M-Audio 410 plugged in it just crashes while loading.

Please help.

Many advanced thanks

Dan

I am also interested whether it can go down to 64 or even 32 in PT9!????

I'm running PT9HD on OS X with an RME HDSPe card and the alphaLink. I can only get to 64 buffer in PT9 (48k). And at 64, PT is giving me occasional "CPU overload, please increase your buffer size" errors. This is an 8-core Mac Pro and the test session is one stereo track playing back pink noise, no plugins. Very disappointing.

In Nuendo 5 on the same machine, I can get to 32 buffer with no complaints.

Two possible conclusions:

1. Digi withholds the lowest latency settings in order to coax customers toward their own hardware. At another studio I work in, PT LE and Digi003 go to 32 buffer on a dual G5. Why should PT9HD on a Mac Pro do worse, especially when Nuendo does 32 no problem?

2. PT9 has efficiency issues. It's not the RME driver that's choking at 64--it works fine at 32 with Nuendo.

I hope that #1 is not true. If it is, I would urge Digi to compete on features and price to give us reasons to buy their hardware.

#2 has been an issue for me with every non-HD version of PT I've ever used, from the first MBox to Digi003. I've been swearing at that CPU overload dialog for the last five years.
