1. H8000 Driver Installation 30 An Example of Using Logic Pro with the H8000FW The following example illustrates using the H8000 as both an insert and a bus effect with Apple s Logic Pro 7 We are using the aggregate audio device we set up in the previous section consisting of Built in Audio channels 1 and 2 and the Eventide H8000FW channels 3 18 The routing preset we have selected on the H8000 is 20 Firewire 8 Track AB which is preset to process channels 1 4 using its machine A and channels 5 8 using machine B In Logic Pro we have configured the routing with the aggregate audio device as follows e Audio 1 receives input in channels 1 and 2 and sends output to channels 1 and 2 e Audio 2 receives input from channels 7 and 8 and sends output to channels 1 and 2 Audio 1 also has an insert plug in that routes output to channels 3 and 4 anda bus which outputs to channels 7 and 8 on the aggregate audio device These settings are reflected in the following illustration of the Logic Pro Mixer screen H8000 Driver Installation 31 F Untitled lso Mixer The following diagram provides the logical overview of the routing between Logic Pro the aggregate audio device and the H8000FW Each step numbered 1 10 in the diagram is duly described in the next section The numbers display in the diagram at or near the initiation point of the process Note that each directional line between entities represe2. e Next a window displays to inform you that a restart is required after the installation process is concluded Installing this software requires you to restart your computer when the installation is done Are you sure you want to install the software now Cancel Continue Installation e Click Continue Installation The installation process now begins A status bar displays the progress of the installation After the install completes a prompt displays to restart your computer next page H8000 Driver Installation 18 Install Eventide H8000 Audio Driver K Introduction Y Select Destination Installation Type Install Finish Up Click Restart to finish installing the software e Click Restart to restart your computer and conclude the installation H8000 Driver Installation 19 Configuring the H8000 for Macintosh Output s Once all software drivers have been installed perform the following steps to enable Macintosh audio output via the H8000FW Note Before proceeding be sure your Firewire connection between the Macintosh and the H8000FW is established and the H8000FW is configured for throughput see page 15 Viewing the H8000FW s Configuration To view the configuration of the H8000FW click Show All from the Sounds screen to return to System Preferences Then click H8OOOFW from the Other category below System 21 Accounts D
3. Installation 5 should not change the sample rate directly from the H8000FW when it is connected to the computer as this can cause problems for some applications change it on the computer and the computer will automatically change the H8000FW setting where necessary Higher sample rates give better audio performance but use more disk space for recording and place heavier demands upon the computer The buffer size setting determines the latency of the system Latency in this context is a measure of the delay introduced by sending audio to and from a computer and an external device such as the H8000FW To help explain this an analogy may be helpful Picture a large pile of coal representing the digital information stored in the computer Each piece is one digital value The job here is to fill buckets the buffers with coal from the pile and pass them to a colleague who then empties them into a chute leading to the outside world The chute must be kept partially full but not allowed to overflow The chute may be thought of as the feed to an external digital to analog converter feeding a speaker while the passing of the buckets represents the FireWire connection So if the chute becomes empty the speaker will pop or click while if it overflows things may get in the wrong order It also takes time for any given piece of coal to get from the pile to the chute as the buckets have to be filled and emptied before this can happen This t

11. ime is the latency mentioned above It will be apparent that the size of the buckets directly affects the latency as smaller buckets can be filled and emptied more quickly But to avoid the chute becoming empty bad they will have to be passed more quickly which may be tiring So there is probably an optimum size for these buckets to provide a good compromise between the latency on one side and the energy requirement computer power needed to pass them Enough of coal for now The latency is usually almost directly proportional to the buffer size but the use of small buffers requires more computer power The default setting is usually a good compromise but if low latency is important and you have a fast computer it may pay to reduce it Some simple math for those so inclined if you are running at 48kHz a 1024 sample buffer will introduce a latency in the order of 1024 48000 seconds or H8000 Driver Installation 6 21mS milliseconds So to send and return to a FireWire device will take 42mS which is noticeable Those systems that offer delay compensation can resolve the problem painlessly but otherwise the use of smaller buffers is worth considering Synchronizing connected audio devices For audio purposes a computer can be thought of as a device that shuffles processed data between its disk drives memory and peripherals As such it neither has nor needs the concept of a sample rate except for calculating de
