The best way of providing realtime feedback to those who need it can only be accom-
plished one way. Not including latent devices like the AD8 using PEP in the loop.
Careful consideration to whom needs realtime feedback and when should be consid-
ered as well. An affordable 8 channel analog mixer and some y-cabling will do the job
perfectly well.
If this cannot be accomplished it is unfortunate but necessary to post-process using the
PEP D/D function. We say unfortunate because the net result on sonics of the process is
something that should be compensated for with decisions prior to processing. (See
FAQ #2)
Alignment Effects
Users will notice digital peak level increases with program material using PEP. Users
should avoid distorting program material unless that is the desire. Post-processing with
PEP will also require 2 to 3 dB more peak headroom. Users may also find PEP's amaz-
ing ability to partially un-distort program material.
Overdubbing
Recording along with prerecorded material with PEP can be difficult without complex
monitoring setups so our suggestion is to post-process overdubbed tracks and realign
them either automatically or manually according to the following figures.
4098 samples in the x1 category
which is 92.87 ms at 44.1k
and is 85.33 ms at 48k
6147 samples in the x2 category
which is 69.64 ms at 88.2k
and is 63.98 ms at 96k
