I'm getting set for an upgrade. There's lots of options, the 1820M being one of them, but I'm also giving some consideration to switching platforms, i.e., going to a Mac with Logic for instance.... In any case, I suspect sometime in the next 3 months I'll have to sit down and make some choices..
Toodles

I believe you can chain two 1820Ms together, but Im not positive. Id check with Emu
and...as always...check with me if youre going to buy something. I can probably save you money!

I've still got a little time to sort out what I'm gonna do... As i said before, I may end up going Mac, but if I don't I'm thinking the Emu might be a nice addition to a new rig.
Message 14/36 01-Dec-04 @ 01:14 PM - RE: E-Mu 1812m - wow!
actualy, I was so impressed with the 1820m last time i had a few brief hours with it to do part-1 of the video, i might actualy keep it, pay for it and sell the Hoontech C-Port system... not that the C-Port is bad, it's superb value bearing in mind the 1820m cost quite a bit more than a C-Port system
anyways whatever

it's hopeless as far as i can see. - The sound also distorts after a while playing games, gradualy the sound breaks up until it sounds like a distortion effect is added.
worst of all tech support (cough) is an INTERNATIONAL call number!!!! (but the tech support guy just denied they'd ever had a complaint about it, and didnt see why they needed to test it with SX or Logic when i reffered to the fact the manual dealt soley with a cubase version that is at least 2 years out of date & to all intents and purposes discontinued
thing is, i'm loath to try it in another machine cos if it scrws that one up after un-installing i have work to do, so far on the est machine it's failing miserably for everything EXCEPT acting as a straigh quality i/o card/rack... in that sense it works well with SX & LOGIC as a straight in/out device. The distortion only seems to happen with games.

after a failure to really work properly in machine A (problems as above) I transferred it to test machine B
oh dear... first machine boots ok after install, logic opens, put on an effect using POWER FX, timing all goes to shit, and no it's not because of needing to use the supplied plugin delay compensator
then machine went quiet
rebooted to a blank desktop. no desktop at all, hard reboot required
reboot set patchmix to BLANK 44.1 default & open logic, no sound, logic then issues citicial error report....eeee
reboot again lets see what's next, but this is totaly unacceptable

it ran ok until i decided to do some guitar practice and wanted to see what the included guitar presets were like
i dragged one to the INPUT strip on the patchmix and as soon as i dropped it all hell broke loose.... dunno what the problem is, but it's with logic. with SX it just doesnt work continualy, but it doesnt lock up
the issue perhaps is that Logic will not share driver with windows, but the e-mu doesnt show seperate drivers for each pair of outs like most other cards i've used (giga, m-audio, staudio, terretec etc), so you cant assign a 'named' pair of outs to windows audio and NOT use that pair in logic, perhaps the fact that windows audio is set to emu audio and so is the logic sequencer... mebbe that's it
more tests today i spose....

there must be a way to get it right cos while there is reports of problems on the www, there is also many reports of it being ok... on we go *sigh*

seems logic is fairly stable (v5.5) depending HOW you setup the patchstrips in the patchmix s/w application - there is some weird things happening tho with the powerfx
today I booted a test song which had one PowerFX compressor added as an insert to a Battery VSTi and some 'E-Delay Compensator' plugins added to other tracks to keep them in sync.
When the song opened, the PowerFX Compressor had changed to be a Plugin 'E-Delay Compensator'.
that sometimes happens. You choose 'POWERFX' from the e-mu plugin listings and what actualy opens is the 'E-Delay Compensator'
??
That's odd, but Creative did say they never tested it on Logic at all. Otherwise it runs ok as a quality i/o device it's very clean and quiet, nice crisp clean dynamic sound, and the headphone socket is superb, great sound with tons of headroom to go as loud as you like.
more to come.... they wanted the review unit back today so i paid for it so i can keep it and continue testing.

anyways, SX2 works alot better - you can apply FX, and on this machine SX sems to be behaving itself ok, no crashes or lockups etc
you can add POWERFX as inserts or as a SEND effect such as a reverb inserted into an effects channel - These fx can be rendered to a new file which worls great, but... it cant seem to fo it 'offline', if you go to render without the REAL-TIME EXPORT checkbox ticked you get an error message refferring you to check export/render settings
however, put it into REAL-TIME EXPORT mode and although it's slower to render, the resulting file has the effect encoded into it perfectly, just as heard in realtime mode!
excellent!- i messed with the reverb... not great, certainly not a 'top-quality' reverb, but a bloody GREAT reverb for classic old style dub, a really authentic plate-ish sound!
the compressors are a little harsh, but quite useable
anyways... oh yes.... the plugin-delay compensation that is supposed to be included in SX doesn't work in terms of compensating for added E-MU card-dsp-based fx... so for example, if you want to add a reverb as a send effect, you must apply an E-DELAY COMPENSATOR e-mu dsp plugin into the insert slot of everything otherwise the reverb return is out of sync with all tracks playing back and sounds like a delay
adding an insert E-MU DSP PowerFX effect to any track, & it's the same...... ALL other tracks playing must have a delay compensator added or they will be ahead of the channel utilising the DSP insert, and thus out of sync
however, the good news is you can create BUS's and route tracks to one or more bus's for a submix and add a SINGLE e-mu dsp plugin delay compensator THERE, so you dont then have to add one for every blasted individual track!
you cant win in this game can you.... the behringer BCF's work like a dream with Logic but have a few limitations in SX, with this it's the other way round - lol SX has the upper hand with this card's DSP abilities it seems so far
hope this is useful, more to come

when you hit 'record' on Logic, it just paused, but for like 30 seconds or so, then it would start to record.... well odd! - like the LOGIC was thinking about it for a while before actualy starting to record... not sure why that happened, but if it cant be rectified without a driver update then as a multitrack with Logic something's amiss... it works, but you'd look a bit stupid in a session having to wait 30 seconds every time you hit record.... investigation to be done to see what it can be... otherwise everything was ok and the sound recorded was fine, nice and crisp!
anyone else tried recording 6-8 simultaneous tracks with the e-mu & had any probs with that 'pause' ?

overall i'm happy with it as a standalone device. The fx I don't really have any use for cos of the latency correction hassles rather than quality.... the sound is nice, not hugely different to decent budget stereo cards, but yes, it's nice & defined... not the best drivers tho that's for sure. Sometimes for no good reason and totaly randomly, the pc using it will suddenly reset... otherwise it's ok, apart from this delay when you hit record which I STILL cant find a fix for.. other people I have seen online use it with Logic PC and there's no delay before record starts, on mine there's a 20 second delay after you hit record before the song starts to play/record.... odd
