Anyone using Samplitude with their UAD-1 card?

There's a downloadable version available for $49 and I'm a cheap bastard and I'm wondering if this might be one way out of my Err=21 difficulties.

Anyone experience Err=21 with Samplitude?

uad1 works great with samplitude here :lol:
v 8.3 pro but i think it works with all versions
i got 2 uad1 and m audio fw 1814 no prob
works even better than with nuendo 3.x

Samp Pro / UAD here. Never had an error message from using UAD and Samp together.

Can't say that for Waves. :roll:

OK, good stuff thanks guys

 

[ambrose]

samp 8.3 and uad 4.2 working fine here.

Can you folks share your buffer settings, drivers, etc.? I am getting an Err=30 and I'm sure it's related to my configuration.
Thanks,
CAA

first of all:
samplitude / seqouia are the most underrated hosts in audio history while being the most complex ones. learning curve is high, but its really worth the effort

sam / seq are feature-beats and have excelent sounding engines. object-based editing / mixing which definietly IS the future for me.

i am using Samplitude 8.3 / Sequoia 8.3 and also do beta-testing for magix. running it with 2 x UAD-1s on a ECS K7S5A "Volks"-Motherboard

take care with the 49,- $ version . its really a fantastic price (48 audiochannells, unlimited midi + vst2) but DSP latency compensation will not happen in this version!

usally SAMPLITUDE has full latency compensation ´for CHANNEL, OBJECT, BUS & AUX.. works flawless... but only in the "big" versions...

give it a try and then update if necessary... its an awesome piece of software..

Regarding the $48 Samp. AFAIK, it's only 16bit. But I could be wrong about that. You might want to check into that if it matters to you.

No, it's restricted up to 24bit/96khz.

I have Sam8 Pro and the SE Version, that came free of charge with the keys magazine. Maybe you can get the last issue from anywhere?

I ve been steiny fo years more than 10
but the first time i ve heard sam i was like whooo the sound is
deep very analogish....
I now use sam as main seq for audio to rewire live fo midi and sampling stuff and it s ten years ahead from nuendo or sx...
all the fx in sam are better than in sx or nuendo
even live is very handy when writting songs or remixing
:lol:

Thanks for the heads up on the DC Bob.
The demo contains an amazing feature set for the price. Trouble is it's hard getting a real feel for the s/w in demo mode - I get spurous errors like it will only play in 16-bit & only record 1 track at a time. Not sure if this is my setup or just the demo acting up

It may be your setup, or audio card - not necessarily UAD-1 (unless it is motherboard/PCI buss related). UAD-1s are running great here with Sequoia 8.3. The 8.11 demo also ran fine with my system (RME Digiface, UAD-1s, AMD X2, Asus A8Vdeluxe).

IMHO, Samplitude is worth sorting out your system to see what isn't working. I've been a Nuendo user for a while, but am loving Sequoia - better low latency performance than Nuendo. The workflow and capabilities for recording, editing, mixing and mastering (among other things) are superb.

 

[Cass Anawaty]

DT,
Can you share your buffer settings, etc. in Seq w/ the UAD-1?
Thanks,
CAA

 

[dt]

I've run UAD plugins at 64 samples, both RME/ASIO and VIP buffers, but I have been running projects at 1024 or 2048 VIP and 64 samples for RME.

I haven't run any load tests with UAD-1 plugins yet to see where the threshold is for VIP buffers with two cards loaded, but will try to this week.

its definetly your setup. i can run Samplitude SE on my business-notebook Thinkpad T22, 900MHz with "ASIO for all" on a crappy old crystal audio-DA.. very stable!

i don´t know about multiple record-functionality in SE..

are you running ASIO drivers? its a must..

[Cass Anawaty]

Thanks for the replies.

I'm still getting audible delays among tracks--is there something within the program or the UAD-1 that I'm supposed to \"check\"?

For example, using ASIO w/ Lynx, with VIP buffers @ 1024, 2048, etc.--there's always latency.

With 2 pultecs on two tracks, they sync together, but the vocal track (which has no UAD-1 plugs) starts \"early\".

I must be missing something--anyone?
Thanks,

you running the Samplitude SE or the full featured 8.X versions?

SE has NO latency-correction for "external" VST (all VST-plugs that are not part of Samplitude)..

[Cass Anawaty]

I did figure out what the problem was--Cakewalk's VST wrapper.

Yes, I know that I should have just used the VST versions instead of the \"wrapped\" ones, but I was in a hurry and instead of moving the folder to the proper place, I just grabbed them from the Direct X files.

Luckily, I figured it out. Just hope that the CD I just finished mixing doesn't come back--all the projects are corrupt now.

Ah well, live 'n learn. Would probably just tell them I need to remix w/ the 1073 :lol:
