There are tutorials for Logic...but the Apogee techs were worthless about Cubase? drsax? - Are you just trying to run external hardware on your FX sends via your Symphony Conversion? (Using External FX) If that’s what you’re trying to do I’d be happy to help you get set up. |

I have not used the Symphony Johnkenn - I have an RME MADI FX card hooked up to an array of Burl, Hilo & Orion Converters. I dig the Symphony samples I’ve heard before. If they were PC compatible I’d seriously think about a Symphony setup over here Are you just trying to run external hardware on your FX sends via your Symphony Conversion? If that’s what you’re trying to do I’d be happy to help you get set up. they're PC compatible in that you can use the lightpipe connector on the back to pump into another converter, as well as Apogee's statement that the MK2 chassis with the Protools card (it comes with either the protools or thunderbolt card installed, your choice) is fully PC compatible. |

So is the MKII chassis capable of standalone mode now? I know when it was released it would not do standalone |

Yes Standalone is a feature, got my new 16x16 yesterday and there was a single page sheet describing running options including standalone.

Here is what I'm trying to do...but AUX's are totally different in Cubase. Instead of one "Aux" Cubase has FX Channels and Group Channels. In this video and via chat with Apogee, they were wanting me to change the input of the AUX channel to the FX Sends (or 32-33)...but you can' change the input routing on an FX Channel. So I'm confused.

So I'm confused. Wow, I can see why you’re confused Johnkenn - If this is Apogee’s solution to no latency effects, then they’ve got a long ways to go before their software interface catches up with the sound of their Converters . That’s ridiculous. Does the symphony software allow you to route a single ad input to multiple da outputs? A la RME total mix. If so, I’d look at a cheap Outboard digital mixer like a behringer x-air 12 for a couple hundred bucks and send your daw stereo mix plus incoming recorded channel and you can create a custom headphone mix with great sounding fx that is not even touching your daw. This is what makes the UA Apollo solution so attractive. Ugh... |

Yeah...you wonder why they don't just put a damn $12 chip in the box and code a cheap verb on it. (I have no idea what I'm talking about) But I do remember The Steinberg boxes had just that. Yeah, I might just buy a cheap midiverb or something and be done with it.

Honestly, I'm hoping UA comes out with another box in the next two years that will be a step up...

(For Cubase) You need to use a stereo AUDIO channel with the reverb inserted. You can define the input and output like the aux. Little "I" button makes it input monitor without recording it--so it will continue to pass audio signal "live". If it's not obvious, the reverb set to 100% wet.

I’m thinking I must have had something screwy in the Symphony software. |

None of them use Cubase. But I think it’s solved now.
