I would like to run POWERCORE and ProTools plug-ins at the same time. Can I do that?
Yes, it is quite easy to run POWERCORE and ProTools TDM in the same session, and the two work very well together. There are just a few considerations to make when setting up such a system. As POWERCORE and TDM plug-ins are inherently different, a host application that can address both the VST and TDM Plug-Ins is required. To accomplish this, you will need a TC PowerCore, a Digidesign ProTools Mix system, and Emagic’s Logic Audio and ESB TDM Bridge. (Logic 4.73 or higher is recommended. Logic 5.0 is still being tested. ProTools HD has not been tested.)
The procedure is to set up the Audio Driver Preferences to “Direct TDM” and “ASIO.” (Do not select DirectIO.) On Aux channels where you insert an ESB Plug-In, you can use TDM plug-ins. In your “normal” audio channels (ASIO), you are free to use POWERCORE plug-ins.
