Got it sorted--trashing preferences did the trick and allowed me to change the playback engine to the 002R. A bit of oddness with the external clock--it started up with that as it's how I normally have it set up; but had the wrong sample rate (48 kHz vs. 44.1 kHz) and wouldn't let me change it. I ch...

Far as I know but I'll check. Everything was working fine before the incident. And yeah, it defaulted to "Aggregate I/O".

So this was weird. I was starting a session last night and started PT9 before firing up the 002R/Minime/Tango24 (accidentally). In PT6 (the version I had pre-upgrade), when I did this PT would stop mid-startup and say the interface was not turned on. PT9 just sailed through and assumed there was no ...

Yep, at the end of the day you need a single clock source for all three. I know the 002R clocks to an external source via the s/pdif or optical input.

I think you'll have to clock to the Rosetta. Set PTLE to clock to the s/pdif input; and then clock the Digimax to the bnc input from the Rosetta. Not sure how else you could do it unless your modded 002R has a bnc connection now.

When you say "computer" do you meen the 002R; and you have it set up in Protools to use the ADAT input as the clock? If so, not sure what the problems could be. I have an 002R, Apogee Minime, and Tango 24. The way I"m set up, the spdif output from the Minime acts as the master clock. The 002R is set...

A couple other questions while I'm at it--

Do people generally use balanced or unbalanced patch cables?

I'd assume an effects insert/y-cable could still be routed through a patchbay; but in that case--would a balanced patch cable be required? It would seem so.

Very cool, thanks!

Cool, you think that's better or an par with the 48-pt TRS patchbays available from dbx?

Drawing things out I think I could get by with an 8-channel mult box; but a 48-pt TRS patchbay doesn't seem like it would be much more expensive and would have additional functionality going forward.

Cool. Reading up on things a bit--looks like a could get a half-normalled patchbay and mult the output from the Tango 24 between the mixer and tape machine. I'll have to puzzle through the cable requirments and layout a bit more--but best I can figure at the moment I'll need at least one new TRS cab...

So I got my 1-in 8-track back in service this weekend (MCI-JH110 B/C, happy-happy, joy-joy!). In getting test tones over to the thing I had to swap around a bunch of cables that I'll have to go back and switch around now. Also, I don't think I'm doing things the most efficient way because of cable l...

I can't really find anything on the digi website on this. If anyone happens to know please post itt. I may try trashing preferences and whatnot as well and see if that sorts it.

One thought I have is that I'd added a second monitor hookup to my system and changed around the display settings. Now I'm recalling there are certain settings you're supposed to use in PT. I'll look into that and see if it corrects the issue.

I was working on mix the other day and something weird happended. When I went to move a fader with the mouse, just clicking on it sent it all the way down to zero from it's current position; from that point, I could adjust the level but I'd basically lost reference to its previous position. Is there...
