I have never been comfortable doing this with digital gear. I know that you are a digital guy so what is your take on this? How much will you push or pull a song? What percentage do you do this with before you start to notice?

I know I will have to play with it but I have refrained from doing it for so long now (gotta be 7 or 8 years) that this thread has given me some inspiration to try it again. Pointers to give me a kick in the pants?

Anyone else? Apogee AD/DA-16X with AES16 card here, does anyone do varispeed with hardware using this setup?

Sorry to hijack if that is what I am doing...... go
Well, so far I didn't have any problems, because the R-1 does a +/- 12.5% varispeed, no problem (have to figure out how it does it) but now with Nuendo (or any other DAW) involved it becomes a problem. In the rare cases where I use varispeed it's normally not more than +2%. Maybe if I could manage to sync Nuendo to SMPTE, right now it's the other way around and the R-1 is following Nuendo via SMPTE, but it would involve another $2,500 syncho box.
