I'll bet Seth and Brandon never gave it a second of thought & just used whatever it pulled up.(trusted it was automatically correctly placed) I have experienced "product engineers" that knew less about their product than I figured out in 15 min. so I don't take things for granted.
 
Okay, so apart from Seth and Brandon not knowing what they're talking about, what about Noel, their C.T.O.?  Does he not either?
 
What conflicting information are you getting?  Apart from the Manual, I've not heard anything from Cake other than to use it at the end.
 
I'll be inteested if you get a reply from Overloud.
 
BTW, I think most people on here think quite highly of Seth, Brandon and Noel.  I know I do.  YMMV

Just think channels emus first, buss emus last & you'll be fine.
You can change the channel order pre-post fx but buss emus should always be last on the busses  or master out pre-final limiting.

The trouble is it's almost impossible to A/B the overall effect on a project, when you have an instance on every track as well as the master bus. By the time you've turned them all off, you've forgotten what A sounded like.

Quick group and hold down Ctrl when switching one off.  Works on the tracks.

You can take them all out by selecting the tracks, hold ctrl then deselect on/off.

Sadly, though, this doesn't work on the buses, as they found out on the X2 webinar..

For busses I use CV & PC, select busses, hold ctrl, select on/off. It will affect all the console buss emus.

 You can change all the console types this way too.

Hi folks,
If you want to hear an A/B I did a quick one over in the thread that Transcending Music talked about above. Raw track, Cakewalk console emu and actual SSL hardware:

I was in a hurry so didn't have time to level match...make sure you do so to avoid any Fletcher-Munson problems.

Here's another method of A/B'ing that also ensures latency free, glitch free listening and for comparison's sake, that is what you want. Just bounce to a stereo mix each rendition. So, dry/unaffected, then Neve version, so on and so forth. Then group/invert solo each one versus the dry, then you can do them against each other as well. 

Ah yes, and check out Dean's shootout!

  I didn't say they didn't know what they are talking about just that they did not research all the info at the detail level I did to notice conflicting info. The manual recommends to put it first. Apart from the manual what information would you think was more likely correct? I mean If you can't trust the product manual to be correct what do you trust?
