To Whom It May Concern,
I have had a DAW builder who knows my live requirements and concerns, and has warned me that using VE Pro live might have latency issues.
I will be using 2 x 64bit PC streamers and 1 x main DAW. This builder has not seen my newest setup where I went from DSP cards on 5volt/32bit PCI buss to a 1U rack of DSP chips using the PCI-e 1X buss.
Live I use 3msec/44.1 and record with 1msec/96k. But I am more concerned with the live latency. How much latency should I expect from the 2 x 64bit PC slaves to the XITE-1 DSP rack via the PCI-e 1X...? If it helps any I was using 13msec/44.1k back in '99 live w/ Gigastudio/Scope DSP cards, and it was acceptable, similar to being 20 feet away from a crash cymbal. What should I expect if VE Pro is my host..? Also, I disable all native time based effects, and use hardware and DSP. Any effects will be applied in the main DAW and the only native effects will be a Sonalksiss Lo-Fi and the Algorhytmix Split Compressor, and only the Comp. for recording not live.
Thanks For Any Info.
