Routing Pulsar Synth's trough logic plug ins ???

QA · Post by QA » Wed Jul 04, 2001 12:09 am

Hi, this might be a stupid question, but can somebody tell me how is can route a pulsar synth trough a logic plug in. I want this because in my opinion the reverbs from Logic are much better . . . . .

TIA

I'd be interrested in knowing that also, for audio is should be the same thing, I want to ear while i play the Platinumverb on my guitar and mic.

I can only apply vst effects after the recording on playback. Is there a trick?

hoi. i had a short look on logic, so i don´t know if that´s the normal way. but i used to route the aux signal via asio into logic. there i chose the asio channel as input for an audio track, which i record-enabled (although not recording). there i assigned the reverb, played a little with the early reflections to get around the latency a little, and then sending the fx signal back via asio into pulsar. with fast ULLI settings this was no problem, and i found myself using very nice reverbs which i couldn´t use before in pulsar. this is not possible with my current sequencer, cakewalk. it would be possible with cakewalk sonar and wdm drivers, which allow a similar low latency as asio, but still we´ve got no public beta. ingo stated today that there is delay again, and they are sorry for that. but it´s ok, logic isn´t w2k-compliant, neither. so i can wait

Thanx Mo, I will try your suggestion.
Why don't you use Logic anymore, At first i was a Cubase user but i had many probs with the crackles. Now i'm using Logic for 4 weeks and my creativity is rising like hell.
Logic is GREAT !!!

Yes it is possible. Since Logic 4.5 there is a track called "audio input object" vhich is kind of a aux/monitor input ie. you don't have to have it rec. enabled to hear it. Create an AIO and choose input Creamware 1-2, route the FX send from Pulsar to ASIO Dest 1-2.Then you can choose to have a plug-in on the AIO ch. or send it to another AIO with a reverb already on it. Which of course you already do to save CPU power, RIGHT!!!!

Thankx a lot man !!!

Cuz it work perfectly for my needs!

Didn't know about this AudioObject, true I was using LA Silver 3.7 (!) for a long times, LAP is a bit new to me...

My guitar sound marvelous with the PlatinumVerb!

pretty sharp, mo.
i would also suggest that one make sure "input monitoring" is enabled

yep, jupiter, thanks. that AIO was the thing i was looking for.
but you always search the small things, when you have no manual... and, dear QA, that´s the reason why i don´t really 'use' logic - it´s not licensed.
i wait with purchasing till version 5. but i feel far more comfortable in logic than i´d feel in cubase, true. i don´t know exactly why (the features are better with cubase), but i´d guess it´s the environment, which reminds me on pulsar

Mo, I have some rather good news for you, although you may very well be aware of this but I am and have been running logic plat on Win2k some time, and I understand that eMagics site says nothing about win2k but I have had no problems. now if we could just get creamware to play catch up and code us some win2k software we could start having some real fun without having to reboot every day

creamware has had win2k drivers in beta for weeks. they will release it when it's ready.

nice to hear that logic works under win2k. you have to reboot your machine every day? what kind of stuff do you have running on it!??

i leave my computer on for over a week w/ Pulsar+logic open all the time without rebooting. after about 3 weeks, resources are down to like 50%, so i reboot, but really, its always pretty stable. i run win98se tweaked, but 98me is pretty good once you apply the ie5.5 service pack and remove system restore...

personally, i can wait for Windows Xp + Logic 5.0 to come out, i dunno about you but i'm not looking forward to lots of unstable issues when making such a huge shift in software platforms on ALL fronts (emagic, microsoft, creamware)... so like go make music or something until then

Mo · Post by Mo » Tue Jul 10, 2001 5:06 pm

yes indica, i knew logic 'works' on w2k, but as long as emagic doesn´t officially supports this, i won´t settle for it. it would be a (for me quite expensive) change of platform, so i keep working with win9x and cakewalk, until next year everything is brought forth and well proven... then i´ll get me a logic gold, a new mainboard, and maybe an additional creamware card...

and a pupils license for win2000 - 70€... (school is great

)

make music, have fun

subhuman,what you said about a new platform is right to the point.this stuff works now.i'm sure the change will be for the better,but when the change comes we'll all be fixin sh-t.better make some music while ya can.

garyb - with all the issues everyone has, i think people in general tend to think "Oh this new *whatever* will fix all my problems" -- but really it will only be a whole new set of problems. With Win 9x, I have figured out most of the pitfalls and can simply compose around them

I'll have to learn all the tricks all over again with Win2k/XP -- strangly I still look forward to it.

Now back on topic... <a href=http://planetz.ghostwheel.com/forums/vi ... um=3&2>VST plugins as AUX send</a> from the Tips & Tricks explains the basics of how this works, even if it's for Cubase, you will get the idea (or more ideas)
