yes, it was quite an exciting experiment, but it worked very well. i did no tc-synchronization, it wasn't necessary for this project. but i'm curious to find out how it works. i think about rotating atmospheres like i mentioned it in the soundfield discussion thread.

i prepared the effects and i had luck that they satisfied just like i made them. also it was wise to work with seperated outputs so the rerecording mixer had the possibilities to use whatever he needed. so i just built up my equipment and then they used it like an effects machine. i just sat there and had a smoke. very smooth indeed.

in this project i found out that you have to be very aware about rendering times for the filters. although kyma is a realtime system the filters need there time. i.e. the harmonic analysis needs a window to work. i had to put in a delay for every effect which is faster than the slowest one. overall rendering time was 90ms. so whenever we needed the effect, we just nudged the voice in protools two and a quarter frames earlier to fit synchronicity. but that's not a real problem. it's made in a second. you just have to be aware of it.
there are also two other things that have to be worked on, but i'll tell you when it's done.
