To Setup and use E-Wire:
Setup PatchMix DSP
1. Open PatchMix DSP application.
2. Insert an ASIO Input mixer strip into PatchMix DSP. (Alternately, you can select
“New Session”, select “E-Wire Example” and skip to step 6.)
3. Mute the strip or turn the Fader all the way down.
4. Insert an ASIO Send plug-in into one of the inserts on your ASIO strip.
5. Name your ASIO strip as an E-Wire strip.
6. Insert the desired PatchMix DSP effects into slots above the ASIO Send.
7. Save the Session.
Setup Cubasis
8. Launch Cubasis.
9. Instantiate E-Wire VST in an Insert or Aux Send location within Cubasis.
10. Edit the E-Wire plug-in and turn on the plug by pressing the red button.
11. Set the ASIO Send and Return on the E-Wire plug-in to match the strip you set up
for E-Wire.
12. Done.
E-Delay Compensation
If you are using Cubasis, you will have to insert an E-Delay Compensator into any other
audio tracks to keep them time-aligned.
13. Simply insert an E-Delay Compensator plug-in into the same insert location you
used for E-Wire on any other audio tracks. That’s it.
E-Delay Compensator
As the E-Wire VST plug-in transfers audio from the VST host application to the E-MU
sound hardware and back, a delay in the audio stream is incurred. Normally this delay is
compensated for automatically, but not all VST host applications support this automatic
compensation.
(Currently Steinberg Nuendo 2.x and Magix Samplitude 7.x both support automatic
delay compensation. Unfortunately Steinberg Cubasis does NOT support automatic
delay compensation.)
