VMS Quick Start

Understanding Latency
If you are new to native recording, let’s talk about latency.
•
To get the lowest latency, go to your hardware playback settings, and choose the
lowest buffer size.
•
If you have plugins that add latency, you will need to bypass them before recording
with VMS because those plugins will slow your roundtrip latency times.
•
At a sample rate of 96 kHz, with a Thunderbolt interface, you’ll be able to get down
to roundtrip latency times of 2ms, which is less than our little human brains can
decipher.
Pro Tools HDX and TDM Systems
If you have a Pro Tools HDX or TDM system, here is a trick for how to record and
monitor live through your HD system.
•
Put the DSP version of the EQ3 or EQ7 plugin on the first insert. Don’t do anything
with it, just park it there. It will not affect the sound if you don’t adjust its parameters.
•
Insert the VMR in the next slot, with the Classic Mics module and then the Virtual
Preamp Collection module of your choice.
Now you can monitor live through the VMS!
Optimal Recording Levels
The Classic Tubes microphones are calibrated so that an input signal peaking around
-12 to -10dBFS will match the original mic tone most accurately.
You can use the VMR Trimmer module before the Classic Tubes module to monitor your
input level as you record or adjust it later in the mix.
For special effect, you can drive the Classic Tubes Module harder to get more
harmonics and tube saturation, and you can further amplify these characteristics with
the intensity knob.
