In my typical work I use noise reduction, EQ and DeEss VSTs on RETURNs and route input tracks through the RETURNs to process voice "interviews"...mostly talking.
My signal chain is typically preFader in this order:Acon DeClick> Acon DeNoise> FabFilter ProQ3> FabFilter ProDS
I have also just started using Acon Extract: Dialogue which is impressive.
So my signal chain looks like for the main mics:
Acon DeClick> Acon Extract: Dialogue> Acon DeNoise> FabFilter ProQ3> FabFilter ProDS
I'm currently working on a podcast with 3 mics and I'm getting buffer underruns; so it's been an automation balancing act around my comping that just isn't working.
I'm finding the best settings for the RME UFX+ at 256 samples and buffers set to 10. Essentially, it looks like my abuse of ProQ3 dynamic EQ is eating a lot of bandwidth; probably around 12% MT Load per instance and ProQ3 is on every mic. My solution to the workflow for now is to complete a job of bounce FX and that will free up headroom so I don't have to automate the VSTs on the RETURns; then I can put the comps in a new job and have some VST freedom.
My question is, would there be less MT Load using OUTPUT tracks as the subs rather than the RETURNs?
I've always used the RETURNs this way...maybe there's a more efficient way?Also, I should say this is on SawStudio Lite 32 on Win 7 Pro 64. I do have SAW Studio64; I just haven't been able to set it up fully yet and the work needs to get done so I'm still on my old workflow. Also, UFX+ is connected via USB
