Just a Quick Question...

Jul 07, 2006 15:47

I had a session the other day, and set up ProTools 7.1 with a Control|24. When we tried to track, the 192 I/O completely cut out, and we could only track 8 instead of 16 - we had to use the 96 I/O. The producer wasn't happy. Does anybody know what happened to the 192 I/O ( Read more... )

What were you using for in's 9-16 on the 192(ADAT, analog card, etc??)????

I know that ProTools isn't known for crashes, otherwise it couldn't have become the standard that it is.

ha! haha! hahahahahahahaha!

consider also, by analogy:

Microsoft Windows.

Good analogy.

Enough hardware buffer underruns (there are buffers on those, they're just tiny things made with essentially 74xx logic which can't usually underrun due to the way it's designed) or similar faults in a session, and ProTools will just drop its handle on that source. This state gets saved in the session.

People have been badgering them to fix this for about six years now.

I think you can clear the state bit manually with a hex editor, or it will just automatically repoll it in certain situations. I don't know much more beyond that.

Wow, I don't understand a word you just said.

Which knob do I turn to do that?

you got told

Hey, I'm an old bitter analog guy (not remotely true at all...I mix digital all the time, but I act like one sometimes).

If everything was setup pefectly in the hardware and software settings, and it was just working, then poof! It just konked out, then it sounds like you had a defective 192. If it's not getting any signal that must be it.

Sounds like you need to send it back and get a new one.

If it wasn't getting input to all 16 in the first place, you may not have had the I/O set up correctly. Depending on whether you have the 192 with half digital and half analog, or the full digital, you have to make sure the correct settings are made for those inputs.
