Can you clarify how I can use Arc with these programs. I have tried them but there is no standalone version of Arc I can see that I can use with it. Is there another piece of software needed.

Cheers,

Jason

Instead of placing ARC as a plugin on my master bus, I place it on it's own bus (I name it Monitors) which then goes out to my monitors. I then send my master bus to the bus name Monitors. Whenever I mixdown I just export all audio from the master bus instead of the bus containing ARC. So far I've had success using this setup on Pro Tools 9 and SONAR X1.

Thanks for that info. I am going to try this in Logic pro 9.

A little update, it is not so easy to do this in Logic Pro as the master channel doesn't have bus sends on it. I am going to look and have a play in the Environment (the engine of Logic) when I have some more time and find a way to modify the master output channel to have bus sends or to route all the audio to a aux channel. Maybe I could even make two master channels, anyway I won't know until I get into it. I will update the thread once I have sorted out how to do it in Logic.

Thanks for the info and the ideas! :D

I would like to know more about this too.
This is working for me now though - I have ARC running as a vst plugin on my media player: http://www.foobar2000.org/
The vst is an external add on ("component"):

Hi,
are you guys @IKM planning to release a standalone software for ARC2????
I must admit I don't understand why it hasn't been done yet, so frustrating to have to use soundflower/hijack for a complete treatment...

We have passed along the suggestion but at this time ARC System is a tool built for use in mixing/mastering and inside your DAW or similar program as a plugin.

Hi , I'm a newbie here. it's my 4th day with ARC2 ,i like it a lot and very impressed with the translated result :o How ever, i've heard you guys here talking about using audio hijack+soundflower in combination. Can anyone tell me the instruction or the way to use these together in more detail ? Hope this could makes life much easier.

Thanks Luang

This is actually pretty easy to do in Logic Pro 9 if you have an interface with more than one set of stereo outs.

Route all of your final audio to a bus (call it mix bus for now) instead of the Stereo Output Channel (which has the bounce button on it). Set the output of the mix bus to the Stereo Output, and create a send to an Aux Channel (call it ARC Aux for now). Add ARC as an insert on the ARC Aux channel, and set the output of the ARC Aux to a different set of outputs from the stereo output. So, if the stereo output is using outs 1&2, then route the output of the ARC Aux channel to 3&4.

Connect your monitors to outputs 3&4. This way you will always hear ARC working, even during bounces, but the bounce will be unaffected because the output of the ARC Aux is not routed to the bounce channel.

The thing about AudioHigh jack is that it induce a relativ high latency.

For example if I set up my Live to be able to play Ableton Push with 3 ms Latency it feels like 25 after running trough AudioHijack.

Soundflower is much more efficient but kind of fragile to setup.

It would be lovely if IKMultimedia would create a System Plugin which Natively hooks into OSX

+1 A kind of global System Plugin would be lovely :)

ARC 2 is really nice, but a standalone version or a good workaround is needed. People COMPARE while mixing, so this is an important issue. It would be great, if we could have an update and thanks for passing it along!

What error message do you get when closing AudioHijack Pro, using ARC and have you reported it to IK?


datastream wrote:Today I installed Audio Hijack Pro. It allows me to install the ARC plugin in an effects slot and to route all system audio through it. My Logic output(post bounce), finder playback through preview, iTunes, youtube, EVERYTHING. I'll never have to remember to bypass ARC again or try to explain why the mix sounds different in my studio when I play it back outside of Logic or if my client wants to hear the bounce in realtime.

It's really annoying having to bypass when bouncing, especially when you bounce and check on other speakers, only to go '****! I forgot to bypass ARC!'

PLEASE just code in an auto-bypass during bounce option. Please?
