Setting up Nuendo for use with DSP Factory
❐
Again, this assumes that you have installed the DSP Factory hardware ac-
cording to the instructions in the supplied manual, and tested that it runs
properly under Windows. Also, please note that the DSP Factory windows
require a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768 to be fully viewable.
Before you can start working, you need to make a few settings:
1.
Pull down the Devices menu and select Device Setup.
2.
Select VST Multitrack.
The VST Multitrack Setup dialog appears.
3.
Make sure the “ASIO SW+DS32”Driver is selected on the ASIO
Driver pop-up menu.
See the note below about the two ASIO Devices.
About the Two ASIO Devices
❐
The ASIO drivers described below may have been included with the
Yamaha DS2416 package. However, make sure to check Yamaha’s web
site for updated drivers!
There are two ASIO Devices for the Yamaha DS2416, “ASIO
SW+DS32” and “ASIO SW+DS16”. Which one to select depends on
your computer power and whether you need 24 bit recording or not:
•
If you want to record and play back 24 bit audio, you need to select
the 32 bit device (“ASIO SW+DS32”).
It is possible to record in 24 bit mode with the 16 bit device selected, but the created
audio files will only have 16 bit accuracy.
•
If you experience performance problems with the 32 bit device (and
don’t use 24 bit audio), you should select the 16 bit device (“ASIO
SW+DS16”).
The data transfer between the program and the audio card requires quite a lot of com-
puter power. This load is drastically reduced if you use the 16 bit device.
