    Christian,

    Let us know what you settle on - curious to know.

    I use Chainer for various reasons, but in your situation it might not have enough channels.

    I used chainer years ago.
    But they stoped developing the program.
    So it is far behind others like forte or bidule or energyXT.

    The advantage is that it can host many plugs that are incompatible with FXT and can also be used as both VST insert and standalone.

    Hi all,

    I "liked" V-Stack as a Host but than I found out it seems it can not work with Sample Rate 48khz on my Slave G5. It always switches back to 44.1. Can this be true?
    Any experience or workaround?

    So I have it confirmed by Steinberg Support:

    V-Stack doesn´t work with Samplerate 48khz on a Mac as a Slave!!!
    Is there any other vst-host that can adress different channels of an Audio-Card (Rax can not!) and! work with 48khz other than Plogue Bidule?

    (Funny, I seem to be the first user of V-Stack to discover this issue)

    Probably because there are no sample libraries that run at 96kHz.

    Nick,

    i was talking about 48 khz. Where are all the film composers, do they all still work with 44.1? It´s so much more easy to work and deliver files in 48 since all Post Pro works with it. But no one seems to use V-Stack in this business???

    There are actually a lot of film composers who work only in 44.1Khz, for practical and technical reasons.

    My boss is a successful arranger and film composer here in Los Angeles. He used to work at both formats (the recording industry works mostly at 48Khz), but this created many issues when switching from one format to the other, so we decided to do everything at 44.1Khz from now on.

    For most people, the gain in sound quality doesn't justify going to 48Khz. Plus, the VI samples were recorded at 44.1Khz [;)]

    It's always better to keep your whole system at the same sample rate and avoid any "on-the-fly" conversions.

    Jerome,

    you are right, conversions back and forth are a drag.
    but since i switched my system to 48 completetly i save a lot time not having to convert for postpro. i can even drop mixes out of logic on the servers of the customer (and in film and tv they all work with 48khz), very convenient.
    plus: when i deliver an old-fashioned CD-burning it converts to 44.1 automatically.

    I was only wondering why obviously so many still work in 44.1, with so many advantages of 48 in workflow...

    best oliver

    and thanxalot for sharing your experience on the mini-mac-slaves!!!
