Well as promised the update, replacement arrived today and in no time I was up and running…Much to work out as I dig into the thing, but delighted with it. The combination of going from Logic 5 on the PC to Logic Pro X on an iMac, a new Intera 7 and the new mixer all at once is a hell of a learning curve and the dear wife is feeling like a widow as she is seeing nothing but my back as I vanish into the studio for hours on end 🙂

[PaulParticipant]

That would be nice…But not going to happen. They insist on examining the returned one before sending out the replacement. Still what I saw I liked, and next time I start out knowing more. As long as the next one works I think we will be very happy together 🙂

For sure I’ll be back and let you guys know how it goes.

[PaulParticipant]

No rattles, and it’s being returned. Pain in the butt as I live in the middle of nowhere here in Ireland, no DHL office in a hundred miles so have to wait for them to send out a van…What should have been a happy time of exploring my new mixer has turned into an object in frustration and another two week wait…Ah well such is life.

[PaulParticipant]

Bob yes I have tried that, as Mark says user error has been as far as I’m concerned crossed off. A little disappointing I chose Allen and Heath because of their long standing in the business, this is a knock. Either quality control let a faulty unit through, or something has shaken loose (like Marks idea of the ribbon cable) during transit. Neither of these things inspire confidence. So what I know from all this is the digital side of things is working, digital signals can be routed around the desk out to my DAW and back, so the A/D side is working as expected, where things go pear shaped is on the D/A side of things.

So once again thank you all for your time, I was fairly sure it was a duff unit and you guys have assured me there is nothing I have missed through unfamiliarity with the gear.

[PaulParticipant]

Okay Dick, I’ll try that tomorrow and see what happens, thanks again.

[PaulParticipant]

Yup their fine, I even happily worked out how to record the signal to my DAW and bring it back into the desk, so I’m fairly sure I have the rooting basically worked out. I was 80% convinced I have a duff unit before I came here, I’m now 95%, with 5% hoping I can still find something silly.

[PaulParticipant]

Yes did all that before coming on here, several times ha ha. It’s new, came from Thomman in Germany, guess I’ll be calling them tomorrow. Given the ideas so far, all quite rightly assuming I may not know a great deal, I really am thinking there is something wrong.

[PaulParticipant]

Yeah done most of that, the integra is cycling through it’s demo mode. Everything each side of the Mixer, The synth and the amp speaker system are working, swap back to my old mixer and every thing is fine. That narrows the problem to just the Qu. So yes I know how to set my input gain, yes I know how to solo…But of course you had to ask 🙂 I get nothing from my headphones, yes they work, yes the headphone pot was turned up.

I know going by lights is not the best way but…and for me the big but is. If I can see a good input level, if the level is as expected all around the desk, if there is a solid signal on the LR output leds and I cant hear it…I either missed something, or the desk is not outputting audio.

Did that with the mic, just to do everything asked of me, and yes folk I do appreciate the help thanks a lot. But same deal, see the signal, cant hear it.

The integra is in channels 1/2 of the 16 input channels, panned left and right and as I say just cycling though it’s demo.

I will say it’s safe to assume I do know my was around an analog desk, what to plug in where, inputs soloing all that good stuff. No I have no idea what light sounds like (made me chuckle)…but I do know what sound looks like as it triggers leds on it’s way round the busses.

Firmware is the latest, I tried on the rev that it came with and when I got no sound that was my next port of call, so…1.73 now.

I do know this is a tough ask, and again, appreciate the help.

[PaulParticipant]

Nope still nothing, am I wrong to expect that out the box this thing should be set up so plugging in a source inputs are just bussed to LR by default? and for sure plugging in headphones should give me something?

[PaulParticipant]

DCA’s missed that post, um I have no idea what they are, but I’ll take the poke and pray approach.

[PaulParticipant]

There are no scenes…Just blank spaces. So just in case with little hope I created one and loaded it…of course no change.
