Aux / Inserts via Firewire

[Bob Jonezon]

So I just tried this idea and it works! With no hearable latency. I ran an old kick track (for its staccato...ness) from reaper track 1 out to DM CH 30, setup an insert on CH30 over FW ch28, going back into Reaper on a separate track that accepted FW28 in and sent the results FW28 out. I had to arm that second reaper track and put the reverb on the input effects, and monitor it in real time, as well as take it off of the main reaper stereo buss. That worked perfectly. Then, to see if there was any latency, I added the 1rst reaper track with the kick back to the reaper stereo buss to compare the two. Both kick and reverbed kick were in perfect time! Yea

Thank you for taking time out of your day to do that. That sounds extremely promising!

+1 For the DM. I had an outside suspicion that since it was all in the digital domain, it might work.

I'll give this a roll in Cubase later in the week and report back.

Thanks again for your time and willingness to talk through this with me.
