monitoring issues 896HD 828mkII

Post by Independent since 1995 »

First off my set up.

Powerbook (Titanium) OSX 10.3.9
896HD
828mkII
all connected thru firewire
DP 4.6

2 issues

1) How can I monitor all of my analog inputs (896HD and 828mkII) from the HD XLR monitor outputs. I only here the HD inputs and not the mkII. My I/O's are set properly in the DP software. I am receiving all the inputs just fine (Im using 16 of them right now 8 from each interface) and I am able to view them in the audio monitor window perfectly and track them. I shift clicked both the HD and mkII in the Configure Hardware window. I have the HD as master and the mkII clocked to the HD. I have the Sample Rate set to 44.1 and the Host buffer is set to 2 with work priority set High. Again, I only hear the HD inputs and not the mkII, I need to hear both thru my HD XLR monitors outputs.


2) When I monitor my outputs (in the same settings above) I get click pops and what sounds like a gate effect. I have to push the volume then it seems to release with a 10db boost uncontrolled.

I appreciate an advice or comments thank you.

With a set up like that, you should be getting a lot more than 14 inputs. There are 10 analog on the 828mkII, plus the 8 ADAT and the 2 spdif. Are you using the CueMix application to check the monitoring situation? It should have come with the 828. Hope some of this helps.
