[Bob L]

I'll be trying for an update in the middle of the week... hopefully all goes well.

Way to go Bob!

Awesome news Bob! Thanks for all your hard work.

[Bruce Callaway]

Brilliant, thanks Bob......

[Bob L]

Well... the update is almost ready... but not quite yet... however... the playback hooks are now in and being tested and tightened up.... it's very cool... currently you can select SAWStudio Input Channels or Output Channels for any SAC FOH mixer channel.

Again... SAWStudio bypasses the soundcard driver... in fact you can create a special prefs if you like with all devices set to NONE... the link is a direct internal shared memory buffer that seems to be very efficient so far.

Spells seem to working well - great stuff Bob.

This is going to be a hell of an impressive duo.

This is very cool news! I can hardly wait to give it a go! Too bad I'll have to wait on this Friday's gig though.

Exciting


Will saw be able to SRP record with SAC running and have saw's output flow into SAC's inputs? That would solve a lot of my track and sample playback issues

[Bob L]

I'm working on that one now.

I'm smelling a very unique solution here. I'm hoping to see this playback work as well for feeding loops, etc.

Brand new to this side of the forum.... and this thread caught my eye first.
(I only do in Studio stuff - hence - I use SawSTUDIO)

But now I'm forced to consider replacing my Mackie 32x8 analog mix monitor/console - While looking.... wow! Was I in for a big surprise!

How would you suggest? Need equivalent analog in/out with good mic pres.

[Bob L]

Consider any SAC system setup that meets your needs... SAC itself is becoming a great mixing board replacement... always ON... SAWStudio can be stopped and started without interference of the input signals... by the time I'm done with the hooks... it should do everything the live/mode and Tape-Style Monitoring modes do in SAWStudio directly.

This is Freakin Awesome news !! This is the reason I really purchased SAC. I can not wait
Thanks Bob!

This is so out of the box (I guess there really is no box, right?). I just purchased 48 ch of pre's and digifaces for a venue to record with that would also really do well with this same system for monitoring. Now I am glad I put so many turn-arounds in their floor boxes !

Will the hooks go both ways? For instance, can a 2nd SS session run show control INTO SAC while the other records? Sorry. I'm getting completely out of hand here. That just needs to be another machine.

I need to go to bed.

Thanks,
Chuck

G'day Carl - If you're handy with a soldering iron I'd suggest going for some racks of Joe Malone's "Baby Animal" pre's (BA4) or dual BA4's

Quality clean sound.(BA4)
Haven't heard the dual BA4 but more drive and probably more saturation.
Around US$800 for full kit + post (BA4)

If you need more attitude and smoke, the dual 99V's are hot.

Carl:

This thread has me ready to load up on Lynx Aurora's! Let me know if you start thinking of going that route!

[Iain Westland]

green pres if you want clean, cheap and fairly easy

Hello Bob - how goes it with the SAC/SAW hooks?

Thanks

I have a session next week that it sure could come handy in Until then there is always RME Total Mix. I will gladly wait until it is ready because when it is I know it will be awesome.

The hooks are in... I am finishing up some other details and will hopefully get the update out soon. I will try to make it before next week so you can use it for your session... we'll see what happens.
