Problem with Virus Ti control and Sync my arp with Cubase .. - Page 2 - The Unofficial Access Virus & Virus TI Forum

i hope i understand this correctly..

So this is due to the soundcard and the ti being separate soundcards with different buffers in cubase?

So if i was to use the ti for both synth and asio sound (as i intend to do) it would not be an issue?

And doesn't this 40 ms delay workaround result in an extremely sluggish performance when playing the ti live?

Totally agree with GRS.

Exactly...

I use an RME HDSP 9632.

Marc, are you telling me that if I take Analog out from the Virus TI into my RME and then use the Analog outs of the RME into my monitors, I will get the same quality of audio as I would if I took USB out from my TI into the PC and then out intot he monitors via the Analog outs on my RME?

I think you'll find this is not the case.

no, using USB without putting the signal though an D/A converter, preamp it and A/D convert it will certainly change the sound not to the better (at least not in my ears).

i was under the impression that drammy refered to the analog outs as "poor". in any case i will leave this type of discussion to you guys. i can help you setting up your systems and fix problems but i'm not prepared to participate in the rest.
best, marc

I never stated that the Analog outs were poor, absolutely not. They are good, that is why I would like to be able to use them coming into my RME, rather than the USB.

Back to the original question - is it possible to turn off the auto compensation on just the Virus - this should enable us to achieve what we would like.

Marc, I have been a keen Access customer for many years and am certainly not slating your product, I love it. I am meerly asking if you can consider making this possible, which in turn is helping us set-up our system...

"

no, you can't turn it off just for the channels which use the virus TI analog outs. but we are very aware of the problems and limitations this causes and we're working on a solution.

so what do you mean with "surely we shouldn't have to chose between sound quality or timing...". is the quality of the signal coming out of the Virus Control using USB poor in any way?
