Re: How do I connect the TC Electronic Finalizer 96k to the Focusrite 18i8?

Maybe I am confused... I think that's a good bet :D ...only one device can be the master clock, right? Correct. My understanding is you normally can't have digital in and out simultaneously with spdif. No. Thats bonkers. I have lots of devices with digital S/PDIF ins and outs, with both working ...

I can't think of a device with an S/PDIF input that won't clock from it too.

What devices are you thinking of?

Re: Behringer FLOW 8 problem

Normally I'd connect to FOH from the Flow's main outs... However, if the input on the FOH mixer has phantom power applied to it, then the Flow's inputs become hyper sensitive; it's like having the Gain cranked up excessively and even light signal results in loud clipped spikes/cracks. Sorry to have ...

Re: How do I connect the TC Electronic Finalizer 96k to the Focusrite 18i8?

No separate word clicking necessary if using the S/PDIF input to the Finaliser as that interface is self-clocking.

So Focurite S/PDIF out to TC S/PDIF in. Set the TC to clock from its digital in.

TC S/PDIF out to Focusrite S/PDIF in. Set Focusrite as clock master (computer).

Re: Any PCM91 users here?

So, isn’t the first question whether the FX sends, or Modular synth outputs, are balanced, as that determines the right type of input cable. My understanding is that he's feeding it from an Aux send on his A&H mixer which has impedance balanced outputs as standard. ...so you need to check the Mix c ...

Re: Any PCM91 users here?

Balanced splitters exist with a TRS input socket and two TRS split outputs.

This is the type required for Tony's application and hopefully the type he has bought.

No doubt we shall find out in due course.

Re: I now own an SSL

I always found the Benchmark DAC-1 HDR for example rather thick sounding down there. I do not miss it in this system. It is remarkable how converter technology continues to improve incrementally over the years, despite the already near-perfect level achieved by even the budget stuff. The Benchmark ...

Re: Is it dangerous to mix a Yamaha FC9 expression Pedal with a Roland Juno DS-88 synth?

The FC9 contains a pair of active VCAs controlled by the pedal to vary the volume of a mono or stereo audio signal. Being active, it needs power from a battery or suitable external psu. In this 'normal' mode you would connect the audio outputs of the keyboard to the pedal inputs, and the pedal ...

Most of my other FX have a warning "use left input for mono" Not so much a 'warning' as helpful information that the input sockets are half-normalled..

You need to reassign the routing to the card, using the assignable outputs instead of the channel direct outs. The video shows how.
