Loading Problem - did anyone ever find a solution?

[neil wilkes]

It's a common enough situation:
2 UAD-1 Cards, fully loaded.
One 24/96 Mastering Project.
Problem is that if I load first the Neve 33609, then the 1081 EQ in the Master Buss, then follow this with - in each of the 2 tracks - a Pultec EPQ-1A, all loads, all is fine & all works.
However - the second I go off Nuendo, or it loses the focus (usually because of UAD-1 Meter/Usage) I get the dreaded error message telling me I have exceeded the load limit, and one or more PPI will be disabled.

30+ clicks later on the \"OK\" button and the nag disappears, only to reappear the second I try to turn off a plug.
This matters not one iota if I disable all UAD-1 from the UAD-1 Usage meter or not.
As soon as the foocus goes back to Nuendo, it all goes to hell again.

Now, there are a few questions.
1 - WHY does this happen? I have the DSP, because if I load in the right order, it works.
2 - WHY does disabling the entire lot in the performance meter not work?
3 - WHY do I get 30+ nag screens?

I love these Neve plugs, but not even adding 2 more cards will solve this problem. If it did, then I would be able to load \"as is\", but I cannot. So the load spreading algo either plain does not work, or is badly broken.

What is the solution?
It's Bizarre in the extreme I cannot use 2 Pultec, a 1081 and a 33609 with 2 cards at 24/96.

I don't think so...

and if you are one of those using DAW software that loads and unloads the UAD-1 on start and stop......

I feel for ya...

Very frustrating.

AFAIK, he's using Nuendo.

Well ...

Sucks for all of us... :wink:

I just moved up to Nuendo 3.2

Bummer...

Man I hope they get this fixed...

 

[Akis]

Sorry for the OT question, but Scott, why are you using all those different sequencers?

 

[Akis]

On topic, Neil, I recently mixed 2 songs @ 96/24, in one of which I maxed up my 4 UAD's, yet I didn't face any of the problems you describe. Do you by any chance have 'Release ASIO Driver in Background' enabled in Nuendo?

Good Question..

I work for a larger music store... and get amazing deals.

Sonar6PE is a NFR version, so kindly given to me to figure out/ provide Tech support and Sell. (has a time limit)

Steinberg stuff.. ? I have always loved and know well. I use that for personal stuff or recording projects in house.

Samplitude V9... I've always been curious about it... It's a beast. A hard one to learn..

I mainly use the Steinberg stuff.

Some people bring projects on other Host software other than SX3.


I'm not using all of them, of course. I put them in my signature, incase someone might have a question.

Neil - have you got release ASIO driver in background selected? Assuming you have - do you need to? The UADs wont get unloaded and reloaded if you disable this feature.
