I notice if I use the Waves L series on some vocal tracks that the vocals
seem to have a slite noticeable delay. Is this something that could be
corrected with the delay conpensation?

For the buffer size 64 or 32 is great for tracking, but feel free to krank
that up as high as it would go for mixing and see how performance
improoves. If things do, then you can start bringing it down little by
little over time and find the cut off point. If i am not mistaken delay
compensation only will really make a difference if the project starts to
play out of sync wit itself. if this isn't happening then you probably aren
running into delay compensation issues.

I have mest with the playback and recording buffer, but typicly I try to
leave them at 64, I am used to 64 and 32 on the buffer unless I am mixing.
With the delay compensation I didn't even think of it, where do you find
the setting and what is a good rule of thumb for a protools rig that only
has 2GB ram? Thanks for all the tips on this stuff.

Speaking of which, have you adjusted the buffer size in pro tools and
the automatic delay compensation buffers as well?

Ok, thanks a bunch. I have some homework to do now. As far as Sonar, I
can
have more plugs then the law should allow and with a little adjusting of
the
buffer for mixing, all is fine. This is only on a quad core with only 2
GB
ram as well. I can run multiple waves plugs, Antari and Sonar Native
plugs
without a hick up and have 5 sessions open at once.

If I am not mistaken, the 2011 iMac's max out at 16GB of ram. Though
the 21.5 may be 8GB or so. Yes things like auto tune are resource
hogs and are best saved for mixing. Even then set it up how you want
it, print it to another track and then archive the track which its an
insert on which removes it from being used in the session. Should you
need to make a change, unarchive it make your change, print to a new
track and re archive it. Archive may be the word sonar used for this
functionality, so not sure if its called the same in Pro Tools. Also
if its in the budget, consider grabbing the expansion bay from
somewhere with a decent return policy and return it if it not
accessible. Just a thought.

Thanks, and your right, it is 21.5 and it is 2011. I think it maxes at
4
or
6 GB ram if I remember correctly. I do not have the UA card/shuttle, I
was
looking into it, but I couldn't find out how accessible it was with
VO.
I
think that I just need to max out the ram and see what that does for
me.
My
Mac is like a woman, I got to treat her just right, massage her a

it
in real time recording for now.
Thanks for your thoughts

I am assuming you have a 21.5 iMac and not an 11.5. The problem here
is ram 2GB isn't enough really. All modern iMacs have a ram hatch on
the back you can get to by removing two screws on the back. I'd
suggest figureing out which model you have (can be found in about
this mac) and using a site like OWC or Crucial to figure out how much
ram that model maxes out at and do just that. If you aren't using
DSP cards for plug ins, the most amount of RAM you can throw at the
system the better off you will be. I myself am running a 2011 27"
iMac with lion and i can tell you that its definately desktop
calibier parts in there. In fact as teh iMacs has become increasingly
more powerful its teh reason the mac pros haven't gotten such radical
updates in a while. If memory serves correct you have some DSP
cards
from UA i believe. I'd suggest looking into one of those expansion
chasis that hold desktop cards and connect via thunderbold or
firewire, then you could offload some of that processing as well.

that

any

to help stream line the way PT functions in it? Also I was talking
to
a

a
highbread laptop and further away from the desktop family, does
anyone
have
thoughts on that statement? I am asking because I feel like I should
be
able
to put a heavier load on it. The load I can put on my desktop PC is
hurckilian compared to my Imac at this point.
