Logic Audio and KX.......Can it work? Solutions?

dawkorn

Has anyone sucessfully gotten Logic 5x to work with the KX drivers?

Ive tried every possible tweak, including intel application accellerator and chipset software, and while the soft synths will work perfectly in Logic with 5.33ms latency, when you try to record or playback you get the error message :

Cpu or disk overhead error

Ive changed the settings to

2 IO max in out
8 channels

Nothing seems to work.

System is P4 2.4ghz
256 ram
seagate barracuda V udma ide
xp pro
live 5.1

I want to be able to play the soft synths in Logic and simultaneously record them to an audio track.

Does anyone have a solution or workaround?

Thanks,

Dawkorn

Instructions for using Logic Audio with KX


1. In Logic, Under Options/Preferences/Audio Hardware:

Select KX Audio driver
Uncheck Software Monitoring (very important so you dont get feedback)
Check Larger Disk Buffer
Check Universal Trackmode
Asio Buffer Delay Set for 0 and 0
Max I/O Streams - Set for 2 in 2 out


2. In Logic, Under Options/Preferences/Audio

This one is the important one!

Click "plugin delay compensation" - It's at the bottom of the window

======Without this on, logic will stutter and give errors.=========

There are instructions for routing KX drivers with Cubase at:

http://au.geocities.com/kxcubase/

Using the same template,
In the KX DSP,
Set the Prolog ac97 Left and Right to the coresponding Asio 0 and Asio 1 outs in Epilog

(In various threads, its stated that the "least IO streams" is optimum to use, so considering that,
when you choose (Max I/O Streams - Set for 2 in 2 out), only the Asio 0 and Asio 1 are routed to.)

This was the first solution ive come up with, and its working, so thats a plus.
if anyone has any better ideas or routing solutions, please offer them up in this thread!

To anyone who can answer these questions:

Why is it suggested in the routing scheme at
http://au.geocities.com/kxcubase/

that the asio epilog 14 and 15 work best for the stereo outs?
