Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - Symphony External Hardware I/O vs. Protools HD External Hardware I/O Performance

barryjohns · 8th November 2007

I've tried to ask this several different ways, but can't ever seem to get an answer.

When using Logic Pro/Apogee Symphony system and you are incorporating outboard hardware compressors/EQ's and the like via an Insert, is there any difference in the performance than there is with Protools HD.

With Protools HD, I can insert a hardware compressor with no latency and can track through it.

As I understand, you can only insert external hardware with Logic when mixing and not tracking with Logic's ADC. I can live with that as long as there are no other issues. Are there?

Is doing this with a Logic/Symphony Rig as good, if not better than a Protools HD Rig?
