5 - Effects E-MU VST E-Wire E-Delay Units Parameter The Units value in the E-Delay dialog box should be set for the number of times you send ASIO down to the PatchMix DSP mixer and back in a single track. A single PowerFX insert chain with any number of effects only requires one delay unit because there was only one trip to the hardware and back. If you use two Cubase inserts in series on a track both using PowerFX or E-Wire, you would set the number parameter to 2 on all other audio tracks. Each trip down to PatchMix DSP and back to Cubase equals one unit. In practical use, however, you'll probably never need to use more than one E-Wire VST on a single track since PowerFX effects can be placed in series. We have included this feature "just in case" you need it. Here's one more example of how to use the E-Delay Compensator with different numbers of PowerFX/E-Wire sends on each track. The delay compensation on each track must equal the track with the maximum number of PowerFX/E-Wire sends. See the diagram below. Cubase VST or Cubasis Track 1 Insert PowerFX or E-Wire Insert PowerFX or E-Wire Track 2 Insert PowerFX or E-Wire Insert E-Delay 1 Track 3 Insert E-Delay 2 PatchMix DSP Since track 1 uses two PowerFX/E-Wire inserts, the delay of all the other tracks must equal two. Track 2 has one PowerFX/E-Wire insert and so adding one unit of E-Delay keeps it time aligned. Track 3 doesn't use a PowerFX/E-Wire insert and so it needs two E-Delay Units to remain in alignment. Grouping Tracks When several tracks require E-Delay Compensation, you can send the output of each track to a group or bus and use a single E-Delay Compensator on the output of the group or bus. • E-MU Digital Audio System and PatchMix DSP must be installed. • E-Wire is compatible with Cubase SX/SL/LE, Cubase VST, Wavelab, and Cakewalk Sonar (via DirectX-VST adapter) among others. 110 Creative Professional
