I have been all software until now so I'm really new (about a 3 hour veteran now). How are you guys connecting the TI to your PC?

I have it connected via USB exclusively now and I can get it to work, but I hear pops and such every once and a while. Should I connect it up via SPDIF to my Audigy 2 soundcard? Should I connect my amp for my monitors to an analog out? I'm really really confused here.

Also, what does using the TI as an audio device do for me? Pros/cons? I tried making it the primary audio device and listened to some MP3s and such and they sounded really garbled. I thought it might be able to completely replace my internal sound card....

Really really confused here.....

Adam

I run mine through S/PDIF, Virus Control is great and all but I can't figure out how to use it when you want more than two stereo channels. It seems you have to bounce to audio and then unload it to load a new instance, but then you lose all the settings in the plugin. It's too much trouble IMO. It's easier to just use midi + analog or S/PDIF and then record each track individually.

Has anyone had any luck using the USB connection for audio?

So what you are saying, is that its easier to use this baby the old fashioned way ? im drooling at this synth simply because of the USB Total Intergration thing, but if thats hard to use, I`ll rather buy and older model.

it probably wont make crack/pops go away. a dedicated usb carb will probably do that. whats your buffer size? do you use virus ti asio driver or your soundcards?

The Virus TI only has 2 Stereo outs when working with your chosen seq.

This is because it's audio is going over the USB. You can not get more than 2 Stereo outs when using Virus Control. You can bounce things down as prev mentioned.

You say you hear pops/clicks/etc. Have you tried to increase your buffer size on your s/card? What is your buffer size?

I use my Virus as my s/card. Output 1 is going straight to my mixer (L/R). It also has the option of input as well which I use to record my Korg Micro X.

Sonar won't let me bounce the audio from the Virus TI. I can control the Virus via Sonar with the VST plugin. I've decided to connect the Virus' S/PDIF connectors to my Audigy 2's digital connection, but the audio sounds horrible right now that way. Any suggestions there?
