My thinking is steinberg hardware for steinberg DAW, just like I will get the CC121 (if it can work with Nuendo like it does with Cubase).
@Norbury, thanks very much for your help. So at least I can strike one question off the list, that adat inputs can have effects on them.
You can help me Norbury by letting me know the latency figure Cubase shows for the USB version. If it’s not too bad, then at least I know the TB one can only be lower.
As far as the monitoring, there is no such thing as zero latency, and I am very sensitive to latency. Console/Apollo latency is too high for me when using the UA effects… Even analog has latency (but that’s only in the microseconds).
Using 30+ digital synths that all have their own latency, i want the monitoring latency to be as low as possible.
In Avid HDX it’s 1.7 milliseconds at 44K, lower than 1ms at 96K.
You can keep it under 2.5ms even using compression an EQ on every channel, as well as a tape plugin and reverb sends.
The way to test it would be with the ceentrance round trip utility. Cheers.
