Hello, been a day since searching and studying about this ‘ping’ thing inside Cubase.
So I am on mac osx (mojave), mac mini, cubase 12 pro for this one project,
planning on setting 3 stereo outs through ADAT expander (500adat) and 3 stereo outs through UFX ii analog outputs (3-4, 5-6, 7-8), and:
All I want is to send them and play them with correct timing.
I guess for my case, I have 2 different converters: 1. UFX ii (RME) 2. Cranbrone ADAT
So as long as I get these two different time shifting right, I should be ok.
first side question: for my testing, no matter how many plugins I insert, I don’t hear any ‘added’ latency, is this possible? if then, I shall I be ok, because as long as I can calculate delay for ‘one’ time from the start, all busses should play on time right?
I am sure there are few users who have similar scenario like me?
I am gonna feed these busses into 5057 summing mixer then ‘mix’ through its SUM stereo out through UFX ii returning inputs.
This could be very cumbersome, but I… wanted to try. (e.g. no offline export etc…)
There is engineer called ‘Teezio’ who mixes through the same summing mixer as 5057. But his setup is very different. He uses Lynx aurora (n) 24, 5057 orbit summing mixer, then he uses Pro Tools. I wonder how he deals with latency.
So, very major point for my case is that, ALL busses play through this 5057 summing mixer, so as long as they time-sync right, there is no need for me for this SUM sound to be aligned with anything else? (So that is relieving part)
How should I attack this right? thanks so much in advance, I know there are many many posts about similar issue, I read them all, and it seems for some, buggy, for some, flawless. So I… wanted to share my issue here.
One ‘catch’ could be… if latency variably ‘increases’ as plugins getting inserted throughout the busses, then… its a no no for me, then I cannot mix ‘through’ with this setup right… haha…
