does the frontpanel 'duplicate' the remote controls, so if connected via a syncplate the virtual tape reacts to frontpanel buttons of the physical recorder ?
If the unit I aquired as a converter (it was sold with recording problems) turns out to be really dead on the record side, it might serve as a nice 19" PC case and an operating front panel would be really cute

cheers, Tom

yes, it should work.

Thanks for steering me to the VDAT Astro. I am having some problems because of a slow computer but I'm going to try it again with Cubase SX 4 and hope it works a bit better. I just need 2 24 bit tracks and I can almost do it.

thanks Gary, then it's at least worth a try.
Dunno what the recorder would do without a tape inserted - at least it formatted a tape and recorded 40 minutes yesterday.
Doesn't look that bad, but the transport is loud as hell... the box itself is very neat.

you're welcome Braincell - you seem to get quite some sounds done with your recent setup.
Did you notice the Reaper app that voidar mentioned for 32 bit editing ?
Looks promising

cheers, Tom

I have less DSP chips but I can push them more which tempts me to mix and play with the same project and I am getting into some trouble. I mean when I am using Creamware for sounds, I don't want to record them into Cubase and have a loss of fidelity so I try and record to VDAT while the synths etc. are still loaded.

I configured VDAT to use Wavelab but when I push the edit button, nothing happens.

I am interested in developing a Scope-only ASIO-sequencer that directly writes and reads PCM-files (16-/24-/32-bit) without any float-conversions that are so common in this day and age.

It would be a simple multi-track with basic non-destructive clip-edition functions, and besides cross-over calculations there would be no summing/mixing-engine as two or more tracks would not be able to share a common ASIO-output. so in effect you would be restricted to say 64 inputs and outputs.
This because the appl. should be used with mixers in SFP-mode only.

great idea!

cheers,
Jan
