Yeah, sounds like you just got a bad one. One of the downsides of early adoption of new hardware is the shakedown required to get consistent manufacturing. I would not have been a bit surprised if mine didn't work.

How long have you had yours Jim?

Since last Wednesday. I've got it dialed in pretty good, and all weirdness taken care of, except a confirmed bug in the NavPad. I spent a few minutes this afternoon letting Matt Dodge peek into my computer while we ran the crash. He says he can see the problem.... should get fixed in the maintenance update coming soon.

Speaking of Matt Dodge. I just got an email from Matt, the hardware team and a few other tech folks. They are working on an RMA. What amazing tech support at Slate Digital. I am so stoked!

After working on the MTi2 all day... I did not want to think of waiting another month for a one. That would be brutal. I was just in my studio putting together a layout. My whole setup is going to change because of the MTi... I have a important project coming up in December. It will be wonderful to have the MTi at the center...

Many thanks both for your feedback .

Paradigm Shift...
If you notice the first channel pan is missing. I have to touch the pan on the DP mixer for it to come up... But the Raven is stable. I used it for hours and no crash...

Looks great. I'll add my appreciation for your for sharing the feedback gents.

For a size reference - what's the screen size of the display up top? Is that an Apple piece?

Waxman, I've reported that "first pan knob" bug, too. Pan knobs seem to be the only problem in the software... Everything else is perfect, even running in El Capitan.

Cool... yeah no other issues here. Lots of questions. Jim on the channel strip there is mono, solo, mute and a blue button says ins? what is the blue button?

Apple 27 display

With that said, I think the first batch command I'll make will automatically assign all my bus outs to channels 1/2, then select all tracks to the end of the sequence, then bounce!

Hey Kwiz I do the same thing. I bus to a Neve 8816. I ended up getting the Tascam DA 3000. I end up using it for everything. It ended up being much quicker to do a mix then master on DSP Quatro. Whatever you can do to avoid the mac having to sum mix.

Very cool Waxman!!
I was thinking about getting the DA-3000 because my Alesis Masterlink is getting long in the tooth.
I've had it for about 12 years now. How do you like the sound of the 3000?

The Tascam sounds transparent to me. I sum through the Neve which has so much mojo I don't know if I would hear anything in the Tascam anyway. I just treat it like an old two track. I do a the 2 track to the DA3000 with no compression. Then I master that myself in DSP Quatrro using Ozone 7. I used to use Bias Peak. I miss that program. If possible I have the client master at Future Disk. I've tried all kinds of 2 track setups. So far this works the best for me...

We were blown away by the simplicity of the DA3000. And the sonics. We also print all work straight to it. Who have thought it would be easier to just press a record button on a physical recorder.

Labman you still doing custom Themes? I would love one that looks good with the Raven.

To everybody... This Raven MTi2 is a great mixer control center for your work. I have used a few DAW controls including Mackie, Beringer, SSL, Faderport and they just did not integrate with the workflow.

Slate nailed the workflow with the Raven (at least how I like to work)

Slate Digital company is going to be huge if they keep spreading the love and coming up with such great gear.
