E-Delay Units Parameter; Grouping Tracks - E-Mu 404 Owner's Manual

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 in a single track. If two E-Wire VSTs were
placed in series on a Cubasis track, you would set the number parameter to 2 on all
other audio tracks. Each trip down to PatchMix DSP and back to Cubasis 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 PatchMix DSP effects can be placed in series from within
PatchMix. 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 E-Wire Sends on each track. The delay compensation on each track must
equal the track with the maximum number of E-Wire sends. See the diagram below.
Cubase
Track 1
E-Wire E-Wire
PatchMix
Since track 1 uses two E-Wire inserts, the delay of all the other tracks must equal two.
Track 2 has one E-Wire insert and so adding one unit of E-Delay keeps it time aligned.
Track 3 doesn't use an E-Wire insert and so 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, Cubase VST, Wavelab, and Cakewalk
Sonar (via DirectX-VST adapter) among others.
