I wonder if you could answer a few questions. I had a day of issues which I wont bore you with.
What software you running
Are you, or have you ran the console using all the channels at the same time
what is your buffer set at
have you ever had any glitchy audio issues
Thanks in advance Krafty  |
Running Nuendo on Vista 64bit Quad Core
I have ran all channels just to test throughput,
I have also sent all channels to the R16 to check out summing.
but I keep 13-16 as dedicated effects channels for flying Effects in and out, the first 7 channels are kinda dedicated to Drum mikes, plus I have 3 outboard pres also plugged into dedicated channels.
I also have a Layla, use it via ADAT for 8 more I/O's
channel 1-2 are secondary monitors / aux for headphone mixes and have my surround outputs on Layla out's 3-8.
I also run a Liquidmix
I had oodles of issues initially , running on Vista 64 probably was'nt the smartest move. First thing I did was get a dedicated VIA firewirecard
( can't have both liquidmix and R16 on same firewire bus ).
I was still having problems with spontaneous drop-outs.
That's when I discovered my console was one with the missing firewire
grounding resistor issues, So Mike gave me instructions on how to do the solder blob fix, which I did, I also updated the firmware / drivers around the same time, one or the other fixed my issues.
Another thing I did that helped was disable the R16 as a windows system soundcard ( I use the Layla to listen to i-tunes etc.).
I was having issues with the R16 not being able to reset clock , was telling me another program was locking my DAW software out.
I currently run the R16 in safe mode 1 @ 512 buffer, was still having clicks and pops in normal mode, it runs stable now so I have'nt researched it any further. I suppose when the new drivers come out I'll see if I can get the buffer's down.
I still have issues in soundforge, when ever I open a 2-track with a different samplerate to a previous 2 track , I have to hit play / stop / play before it
reclocks.
I'm still running beta 64 bit drivers so I'm waiting for new drivers before I get into anymore screwing around/ time wasting trying to get faster performance, stability is more important to me.I've found work arounds for most of my issues but I think the drivers still have a ways to go hopefully these issues have been addressed.
Hope this helps
