Re: Anyone using an Imac

2013-02-15 Thread Stephen Martin
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.

 ram? Thanks for all the tips on this stuff.

 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.

 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.

Hi Elad,

I have no experience with the Artist series but I think someone else on the 
list is preparing to get one of those.

To delete a marker, select it and use the pop-up menu and choose the clear 
option.

To set a nudge value, click the nudge value button and use the numeric keypad 
to type the value and press Enter when you're done. You need to consider the 
format. If your session is in bars/beats, you need to type the relevant values. 
If it's in minutes/seconds, obviously, you'll need to follow that format. Use 
the decimal to advance the fields as you type. You can use the keyboard 
shortcuts of command-Option-plus and minus to cycle through the default values. 
For example, in minutes and seconds format, the defaults are 1 millisecond, 10 
milliseconds, 100 milliseconds, 500 milliseconds and 1 second. In bars and 
beats, the values are a little different. Thery are 60 ticks, 120 ticks, 240 
ticks, etc.

I believe the documentation explains the various default nudge values.

Re: few questions about pro tools

2013-02-15 Thread Chris Norman
Hi,
I have, but don't use anymore, what I think is an Artist Control V2,
or Artist MC Mix or something. I actually loved it. Only reason I
stopped using it, is because my Project Mix I/O has preamps on it.

If I get an iMac for downstairs, I'll probably attach the Artist to that.

Anyways, it's a great little desc, the pan pots are responsive, it
just doesn't seem (although could be me being thick), that it has much
in the way of controls. It has 8 touch sensitive faders, 100 MM I
believe, and pan pots. You can hold down the option key on your
keyboard and press a pan pot in, or touch a fader to return them to
their default values, which is something I now miss in the Project Mix
I/O.

It hasn't got a transport bar though, at least not one which I found.

Anyways, I hope this all helps, and sorry I can't be more helpful, but
I tend to use a lot of stuff, and don't really explore their
capibilities, unless I find something lacking LOL.

Cheers, and good luck!

 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

 give her rest when she gets too tired, got to love it. I am finding

 that

 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.
