1) I have a Liquid4Pre . Would I be able to use this at 96kHz via ADAT with the R16 in FW mode and still have 16 + 2 channels of I/O all at 96kHz? That would be 4 channels from the L4Pre so one ADAT connection
The manual I downloaded CLEARLY states this is impossible as no ADAT channels are available over 48kHz, but I'm unclear about what current and future firmware updates may make possible. If this is being worked on and expected to become possible with future firmware updates then I'll be changing my 420 order to an R16!!
The manual also states:
So 22 channels at 96kHz - doubled for i/o = 44 should be technically possible?
But I'm probably missing something 
Of course I could always use the analogue outs of the L4Pre into the R16, but it would be good to avoid another conversion. Or I could stay at a lower sample rate, but the L4Pre emulations seem to sound better at 96.
3) How are folks finding the R16 to work with on Mac's and specifically Logic Studio (8.02 in 10.5.6)? Is the MIDI learn working OK? Transport ok? Any limitations?
4) Does the pick up of the faders for using the R16 as a control surface working OK in Logic?
5) Anything else I should know?
cheers and sorry this is so long winded! |
As of now no ADAT support past 48k, the ADAT option goes away at 88/96
Don't use Mac, and since I have Mackie Contol / Extender I have the transport functions set up but don't use any other Midi on the console.
Other than Flexible routing , killer EQ's , great mike pre's and great AD/DA conversion/ Summing not much else to say.
Oh a trained hampster apparently.
Cheers
