Official Arc System Wish List!

[Peter_IK]

The ARC Studio is great and with "Phase" set to "Natural" the latency is negligible. But in my studio the "Linear" setting sounds much better, but then the latency is long making it useless for tracking and when trying out mic positions.

How about a bigger version with a more powerful DSP, so we don't have to change the Phase setting back and fourth when tracking and mixing, so we can set and forget it?

Using any linear phase tool will introduce latency at the expense of quality. Normally folks are only mixing or mastering with such tools and during tracking there are minimal plugins that use resource-heavy functionality like linear phase (usually none) used.

However, of course your suggestion/request will be relayed. Thank you.

I perfectly understand why a longer latency is introduced when using a more processor hungry audio process and the only way to deal with that problem is to upgrade the DSP, which of course comes with a premium and considering the price of the ARC Studio that amount of DSP power won't fit the budget, hence the suggestion for a ARC Studio Pro a more expensive version with more DSP power and negligible latency when setting "Phase" to "Linear".

ARC Studio is a great product, this is just some constructive feedback to make a better more expensive version in addition to the current ARC Studio.
