Personally I like the soft keys not global, to work around not being able to run different midi for select unselect. If we get the midi on both actions then global would be workable – but having it an option would be better.

Since this seems to the building request list, will add it here..

– to be able to run MIDI on selecting a softkey (can do today) and (the request) when deselecting it.
– MIDI commands to stop and start recording to USB
– MIDI commands to re patch IO from socket to digital bus, i.e. Dante. (So I can swap from socket to Dante, and back again on any collection of channels as defined by the MIDI by pressing a softkey to select IO, and pressing the same softkey to swap back again) without using scenes.

Success this week…

Our dealer swapped the Dante card with another one after not being able to get it to not have static. After swapping the Dante card in the desk it worked first time. Funny part is we then swapped them back, the original also now worked. Almost as if swapping the card caused the desk to re-sync.

Anyway, it works now and no tips to add to the thread.

thanks to all that posted on the thread. First clean recording.

Thanks,

I only have Reaper running, killed everything else off. I’ve also gone up to 6ms. I have no USB recording going on the desk, and am streaming to disk. What is your buffer setting in the Reaper? What latency setting are you using?

I get the static every few seconds, no clicking that would indicate a clock issue.

My issues are not yet solved with Dante.

Clicking is fixed. Still have static randomly on all channels. Swapped to 1G card, was better for single channel test, however with full recording this weekend the recording had random static on all channels — unusable..

Checked, no clipping, levels are all good.

Any ideas / anyone seen this before?

Carl.

[cctrieloffParticipant]

Got a tip to use a 1G card and not a 100M card. that seems to have resolved the last issues. Will run a more extensive test this weekend.

[cctrieloffParticipant]

Preferred master works. thx.

I still get some ‘static’ on playback or it sounds like the Dante card is clipping, with no clipping on the desk — is that possible… will poke around some more.

Great, I was planning to find some time next week to call support – one less thing to do

thx

Agree with the last post. A&H can be run hot which is one of the many reasons why I have bought so many A&H desks over the years. I would drive the pre-amp as hard as you can with the A&H analogue desks (great sound), and then trim it back if you want to.

Mackie is cheap and cheerful – i.e. you just look at the pre-amp and it distorts and generally sounds terrible. Basically running first gain stage hot is the way to go, and is not something that Mackie can do.

Thanks, I had set preferred master, but not external world clock. I will try that.

I posted on this exact theme last week, I’m still working on refining it, but using one scene to repatch, and then in all the audio scenes make the IO safe. Then recall, the IO swap scene, then reset the audio workflow with the audio scene with safe IO is the only way I have figured out to do this and not lose config of items you can’t yet make safe.

I have some business travel coming up, but will gladly post the midi for softkeys to do this when I get some time to copy if down.

Thanks, the issue I have is a lot (every second or so) of clicking when I run 48k on both sides (sounds like re sampling errors, or a clock problem). No routers, cable directly connected to computer. Clock is locked with desk preferred master.. DAW is Reaper.

any ideas?

Carl.

[cctrieloffParticipant]

I’ll find a time when I can call and sit in-front of the desk to walk support through it,

regards,
Carl.

Another nice to have on talkback would be to be able to adjust the trim/level per output selection on the audio/talkback tab.

Yes, I figured out you need to save the show, but even so I can reproduce it easily.

Try this.

Create a show.
Create 3 users.
Create 3 scenes.

Now don’t assign a show to one user and admin.

– Recall Admin.
– edit something, store the show.
– swap users / force an auto scene recall.
– swap user to one without a scene recall.
– go to scenes tab, and select the first scene — (if you select one scene, then other, then the first one again it works. This is now my work around)
– select store.

BANG — first scene is blown away & 3rd scene is corrupted.

Carl.
