I cant tell you how but the RME rep at AES I talked to said you can. I just happened to ask him that

I can't remember everything that was up there but there was some stuff greyed out. the optical option was not available. I was looking for that.

it tried this.. there was no such option on the digi core manager. so, still no go

I'm also in the habit of recording with a mix started including latency inducing plugs on buses. I must have had LLM off on a session recently and realized the tracks were out of time( behind) How or can I calculate the plugin delay (as in pT) and put it right.

Hmm. not sure if optical was selected here. I will try this next session. Sunday thanks.

I had a session last night and had a big problem Interfacing Logic with a digi 003 and a frontier tango plugged into the optical of the digi. In protools this set up works. Its the regular set up of the studio i was working in, as follows, PTools Set up set to 003 optical. frontier set to Internal and everything slaves to Frontiers word clock. Could not get this to work with Logic wasted 2 hours trying. any body out there with a digi and an optical expansion unit get this working?

how do like the duende fader 8

to clarify. this post is not really about bouncing files although related.. i was originally asking if any body knew whether Logic handled the internal DSP of 32 bit back to say 16 bit ( if you were working at that depth) with dither or truncation. as David pointed out earlier it's not an issue at 24bit because the quantization noise produced at 24 bit would be so low ( -139) I think Fader 8 answered my question. thanks! I would have to guess all daws will do this or there would be a lot of degradation working at 16 bit. god forbid

yeah it makes sense to me what your saying -138 db probably not going to hear. i think he was talking about the automatic dither going on behind the scenes and there may not be any noise shaping. i may have added that erroneously. but he was definitely not talking about bouncing tracks that i'm familiar with. any thanks for your insight.

i see your point about 24 bit. the reason i was asking is because i was reading in Bob Katz mastering book about the importance of dither and noise shaping anytime a word length is lowered from its internal DSP word length. he was saying if i followed, it's the difference in how one daw relates, sound quality wise to another. i've also heard different people talk about the difference of logic's sound compared to pro tools and say logic is superior because of it's higher internal headroom ie bit depth. but after reading katz book i started wondering if it may have more to do with the way it's dithered and possibly noise shaped. interesting. t

does logic dither, or should i say, how does logic dither from it's internal 32 floating point bit depth back to the output of 24 or 16. does anyone know and how would it differ from Pro tools, cubase ect????

not sure what your trying to achieve (volume, mutes etc.) but marque selecting an area and pulling down will give you 90 angles on volume automation. beware that can cause pops. i always angle em a bit.

DOH! i'm an idiot. i forgot to turn of limiter and eq on out LR.

i'm talking, big difference here. nothing subtle. good suggestion none the less. thanks

Im bouncing mixes and they're sounding super hyped in the high end and over all louder when compared to originals. i'm playing them in the logic session so i can A/B them to the unbounced mix. it's the same bit rate and depth and i've deselected normalize. can't understand why they sound so different??
