• Windows® XP compatible PC (Pentium© 4 2GHz or higher recommended)
• 400Mb/s IEEE1394/FireWire port (OHCI compliant recommended)
• DVD drive required for Installation
CPU/Clock
• 1.4 GHz Intel or compatible
• 2.0 GHz Pentium© 4 or Xeon recommended
Memory (RAM)

Computer
• Apple Mac Power PC G4, G5 or Intel Mac (any)
CPU/Clock
• G4/800 MHz (minimum)
• G4/1.5GHZ or higher recommended
Memory (RAM)
• 256MB or more
• 512MB or higher recommended
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
• Firewire chipsets from TI (Texas Instruments), VIA, and NEC are recommended
• It is highly recommended that Liquid Mix be run on its own Firewire bus/card
• In order to use Liquid Mix with a 4-pin IEEE1394 port you will need a 4-pin to 6-pin cable (not included) and must use the PSU (included)
• AMD users please read some special compatibility information here.
Latency
Due to the round trip transmission which is required on the firewire bus, a delay equal to 2 x the audio buffer size + 8 samples is incurred. This sample delay results in different amounts of time delay depending upon sampling frequency. With a DAW buffer size of 1024 samples (ie, Liquid Mix latency of 2056 samples), the Liquid Mix latency is as follows:
• 47 ms @ 44.1kHz
• 43 ms @ 48kHz
• 23 ms @ 88.2kHz
• 21 ms @ 96kHz
• 11 ms @ 192kHz
With a DAW buffer size of 256 samples (ie, Liquid Mix latency of 520 samples), the Liquid Mix latency is as follows:
• 12 ms @ 44.1kHz
• 11 ms @ 48kHz
• 6 ms @ 88.2kHz
• 5 ms @ 96kHz
• 3 ms @ 192kHz
Sequencer compatibility
Liquid Mix operates as VST, AU, or as a RTAS-wrapped VST within compatible hosts.
Cubase 4 on Intel Macs does not support VST 2.3 plugins. If you want to use Liquid Mix with Cubase 4 on an Intel Mac, you must install the Liquid Mix 2.4 VST plugins available separately on the Liquid Mix downloads page.
Optional Expansion Card details
The card is suitable for those people interested in operating at sample rates of 88.2 or higher. The channel count increases as follows:
Channel Counts:
• 44.1kHz/48kHz: 32 channels mono, (16 stereo) unexpanded. No change with expansion card
• 88.2/96kHz: 8 channels mono, (4 stereo) unexpanded. Expansion card provides 16 mono / 8 stereo
• 176.4/192kHz: 2 channels mono, (1 stereo) unexpanded. Expansion card provides 8 mono / 4 stereo |
