tdm

A lot of discussion over Pro Tools going Native and even HD Native. Is there something in the works? Obviously. How close is it? Well it exists already.

My question? Why the baby steps? This is old news over at the DUC but I thought, I'd bring it on over for discussion if anyone is interested.

Time Division Multiplexing, a method for putting multiple data streams into a single signal. Originally developed for telephone transmission, Digidesign took the concept, applied it to multi track digital audio and today Pro Tools stands as the de facto standard in the professional audio community.

I'm trying to use Logic with Digidesign TDM hardware system and I can't seem to output an audio track to a single output channel. I only get an option of 'output 1&2' or 'output 3&4'. I can't just select a mono audio track to output to 'output 1'. I normally use an Apogee Symphony system in core audio mode and this isn't an issue. Is this a limitation of a TDM setup? I'm in Metropolis Studios in London with the clock ticking so if anyone can help asap that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mark Saunders

Which is your favorite GTR Plug-in or which is the one you use most of the time:

Anyone familiar with TDM Transmission error in Digitest, No TDM clock found? Its a d24/mix combo. Mix farm in slot 2, (slot 1 graphic card). D24 slot 3 and farm card in slot 4. Everything was working over a period of 2 years with this set up. Then it sat for 6 months with no use. Pulled it out earlier in the week, ran digitest and got error TDM clock not detected on all cards. I don't have an interface to test with this issue so don't know if this means it won't work completely or what.

Hi,
I was considering upgrading my Mix4 TDM,G4 800 and ADAT bridges to a system containing PT HD2 Accel, Mac Pro 2.66 and an 192 I/O DIgital (I use digital boards).

However, I see myself divided between two points of view, with its pros and cons:
a) wait until late 2007 and pick a possible new system by Digi
+ wait for the next generation of Macintels (7.3.1 not fine with them, some weird performance with the MAcs)
+ Mix Systems will even lose more value

b)Upgrade now,but:

I want to use my PC (Has heaps of synths.) with TDM on MAC and of course to synchronize it with PT.

(PC power, 2 Gb RAM, Athlon 2500+)

I know, that M-powered PT will not synchronize with PT TDM. What would you suggest to use?

Cubase, Nuendo or Sonar 6?

Sonar 6 seems to be the best choise for drums and loops.

BTW. On PC I use Audiophile 2496.

Any suggestions?

TIA


BTW. I use PT for several years and I know how to use it. But I'm willing to learn new tricks!

Hi!

I'm in the market for a TDM Reverb plugin for Pro Tools and was wondering what the 'word' out there is on the best ones.

I would be mostly using it to enhance our Classical music (acoustic instrument) recordings.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
