Someone bought me an EMI this week, and I've finally got it all set up and rockin'. I read a lot of reviews online and tried to do a lot of research before purchasing an interface for my mac. Despite a few negative reviews, I went with the EMI. I'm a big fan of product/brand name loyalty. I actually own everything I'm using now, and surprisingly, it all works really well and still, with limited plugins and without access to some features, my synthetic set up (logic audio 5.5, not platinum, OSX 10.2.5, vsamp, an es1, a few third party free plugs) still stomps my pirated cubase 5 will a gazillion plugins. Because of the reports i'd heard of latency and glitches, I was wary, but a 260 dollar interface is hard to beat. I kept assuming the worst when I heard a glitch, or when I discovered fat latency in logic. Except that all I had to do was turn my buffer size from 1024 to 64. Everything runs just as smooth, and I get no glitching, with nearly 0 latency i/o. Watching my processor gauge, I've watched my synth and audio and effects in logic eat up 3/4 of my machines ability to do things, and the emi faithfully inputs and outputs hardcore style. No glitches, barely increased latency- Running the sound of a guitar with a string vibrator into my mixer aux send and into the emi, into audio 1 in logic, proceseed limited delayed flanged and then bussed to bus 1 where a second stereo delay is added, all outputted to the master out 3-4 (or 5-6 or 1-2) back out to the mixer and to my stereo? Solid enough timing and low enough latency for my friend to continue playing without noticing any differences while I opened vsamp, made a vsamp instrument, loaded it in logic, and started playing it with my midi keyboard, also with low-latency. 5 stars. |

i'm uploading 5 tracks to expando.org right now.. most of my music for the last year or so (all of the stuff @ winery.cc/corange is nearly a year and a half old now) has been very dancefloor/live performance oriented. I've spent a lot of time writing myself long progressive abstract dance tracks and have been reworking them and remixing them and doing all sorts of stuff to a block of about an hour and a half of micro-house, drum and base, and just plain abstract groove. With this EMI, I can start djing this stuff live with nothing but my own hardware. These 5 tracks are all not part of that body of music, and are more experimental and personally expressive. It'll prolly be about 20 minutes before it's done. |
