my PTs is just picture and DXFXMX and mostly stereo demos. I think just running PTs on the older Mac Pro might be a waste of what it can still do. 'tabbing' to another app frequently can be annoying. I always thought it would be nice to have the PTs on the screen in front of me but there's something really nice about having it on another screen and just moving the mouse across to it (with Synergy). Sync Cubase and PT! The beauty of this is when you get new picture versions and splits (DX, FX, MX), you only have change it ONCE - in your PT project, and not all the individual Cubase projects.īoth really interesting points - thank you so much.ĭterry - I agree about having PTs on a separate Mac to an extent. It's also very quick to test waters with the director when you can move things around quickly and get some immediate reactions and feedback. It's very handy when the director comes over, and you can play a bunch of stuff without opening any of the Cubase projects. Import all the stereo/surround mixes from Cubase into the PT session. Create a master project in PT for every film/episode to keep track of "the big picture". Furthermore, percussion is often the instrument group that requires most mixing, so it makes sense to have it loaded locally so it's easy to tweak. VEP doubles the latency on any given instrument at the default setting. Also, if you like to play things in, consider having all the percussion libraries loaded locally. Consider these "per project" libraries, as opposed to your basic orchestral VEP project. You want to keep it easy accessible for tweaking, and have all the settings saved with your Cubase project. Everything else (synths, textures, sound design, peculiar orchestral libraries etc.), on your Mac Studio. It can go for weeks without me accessing it. I consider my VEP computer an external sound module that I only access for maintenance. Have a pre-balanced multi-mic complete standard orchestral template on the Mac Pro. PS I hope I'm on the right Forum with this - seems more of a DAW/software question than hardware. No VEP - Cubase with disabled Kontakt insts and Pro Tools on the New Mac.īoth the machines are capable, and the options are many - I just wondered how people would choose to do it. Cubase and PT's on the new Mac, VEP as a slave on the old.ģ. Everything on the Ultra machine - VEP locally, PT's and Cubase both open together. I'm interested to hear some opinions on how to best set things up? For instance:ġ. I have an Apogee Ensemble (currently the sequencer interface) and an Antelope Discrete4 (on a Mac Mini that runs Pro Tools). I also like quite a few synths and plugins on the seqencer. I'm going to be using Cubase 12.0.30 with Rosetta 2, a 50GB-ish sized Kontakt orchestral pallette and Pro Tools for Picture/Demos. I'm just about to be shipped a Mac Studio M1 Ultra 20-core 128GB Ram to replace my Mac Pro 2013 Cylinder 8-core 128GB Ram (which I'm keeping).
