What do you mean by 'enable PDC' ? Do you monitor your signal through the computer or direct ?

I had a discussion with a Mac-Logic-using friend and he was talking about enabling/disabling PDC when tracking, but I didn't get it. I never touch any of the PDC when recording or mixing (when I record I try to monitor recording signals direct, combined with the playback of already recorded tracks and/or clicktrack)

If I use VSTi's I lower the buffer settings and when mixing I raise them. Also I try to never use any inserts/sends when tracking, except for an occasional zero-latency-inducing quickfix

Buffer/latency settings do not matter with Cubase since it is FULL PDC. When mixing I put it on my card's highest buffer setting so I run out of CPU before my buffers max out.
