Can you use the 1622 with a Y-cable? How do I adjust the input gains on my 1622? The 1622 is not showing up properly. It looks like the 1622 is being called 888/24 #4. The 1622 is not showing up at all. Is there any way to save the level gain stages for the 1622 on each song? Can a 1622 be used in standalone mode as a 16 to 2 line mixer? I get no input on channels 1-2 of my 1622. I want to use the 1622 in standalone mode, but when I boot my computer switches out of standalone mode.
Yes. Note: In stand alone mode, all odd input channels are summed to channel 15 and all even input channels are summed to channel 16. This is so all inputs route to one 2 channel ADC (U89). This is normal behavior in stand alone mode. 1622 I/O Index | All FAQ Index [4356] I get no input on channels 1-2 of my 1622. Inputs 1-2 are software switchable between analog and digital. Analog and digital cannot be used concurrently.
Is the 192 Digital Audio Interface expandable like the 192 Audio Interface (with optional Digital I/O, D/ A or A/D converter cards)? No. The 192 Digital I/O uses a different power supply that is incompatible with the 192 analog cards. 192 I/O Index | All FAQ Index [7871] Can I use the Digidesign 192 interface to perform analog transfers directly from industry standard multitrack recorders? Have you tested for frequency response anomalies on a transfer like this? Yes you can, and yes we have.
[7431] What is the proper clock connection between an HD Audio Interface (96 I/O, 192 i/O) and a Legacy Interface (888|24, 882|20, etc...)? Connect the Ext. Clock output port on the HD Audio Interface to the Slave Clock In on the Legacy peripheral. The Legacy peripheral will switch to Slave mode once the proper clock is received from the HD Audio Interface. Always use the Ext. Clock Out port of the same I/O to which the Legacy peripheral is attached.
An advance replacement program is also in place. For an additional fee an upgraded unit with 24-bit DACs will be sent to the customer in exchange for their original unit(s). Contact Digidesign Technical Support for the upgrade. 888/24 I/O Index | All FAQ Index [6242] How can I use the 888/24 in Stand Alone mode & how can I tell if it is in Stand Alone mode? To use your 888/24 as a ‘stand alone'24 bit Analog-Digital or Digital-Analog converter: - Quit Pro Tools if it is launched.
When you are finished recording the digital signal, you should set your Sync Mode to Internal for Pro Tools playback. There are exceptions to these guidelines, especially when working with expanded systems, external synchronizers, and optical devices. Please refer to the appropriate installation guide when using expanded systems or additional devices.
Please refer to the 888/24 I/O Installation Guide for specific instructions and guidance. 888/24 I/O Index | All FAQ Index [4362] I have a USD and a device that can convert the ADAT proprietary sync to SMPTE how should I set it up? Plug the USD slave clock out to the first audio interface slave clock in. (888/24 etc. if you have one or to the ADAT Bridge I/O) Hook up the ADAT bridge I/O word clock out to the ADAT sync device's 48k in and set the sync device to ext sync.
Is it possible to use two different digital formats simultaneously with the 96 Audio Interface? What is the Accessory Port on the 96 Audio Interface used for? Do the meters on the 96 I/O and 96i I/O Audio Interfaces represent Input or Output? Are the 96 I/O and 96i I/O Audio Interfaces capable of "on the fly" real-time sample rate conversion during digital audio transfers (like the 192 I/O Audio Interface)? What interfaces are supported on the Legacy Expansion port of the 96 I/O and 96i I/O? Is it possible
No. The digital I/O's on the 96 and 96i I/O interface enclosures cannot do real-time sample rate conversion. Likewise, the digital I/O's on the 192 Audio Interface enclosure do not do sample rate conversion. Only the digital I/ O's on the 192's Digital I/O card have this feature.
Can I unplug the Mbox while Using the ASIO Driver 6.1.1 in Windows XP? How do I fix an ASIO System Overload error in Logic Audio on Windows XP?

[26703] How many channels are supported by ASIO DirectIO and/or Core Audio? Standalone DirectIO only supports 8 channels on HD cards. The ASIO & CoreAudio drivers are both clients of standalone DirectIO, so they both have this same 8-channel limitation with HD. MIX supports 16, 001 supports 18, and Mbox supports 2.

What are DigiLink cables? What DigiSnakes does Digidesign offer? [7256] What do the DigiSnake Kits cost? Check the All Products Index under Cables in the Products section of the website, or contact your Digidesign Dealer. Products: http://www.digidesign.com/products/ Dealers: http://www.digidesign.com/aboutus/dealers/ Digi Cables Index | All FAQ Index [7257] Didn't Digidesign already offer these? Yes, they were formerly known as the ProControl Cable Kit and Control|24 Cable Kit.
Digi Cables Index | All FAQ Index [7260] Additional DigiSnake compatibility information - All DigiSnakes are 110 ohm digital grade cable (except TDIF-TDIF data cable) - TDIF-TDIF DigiSnake is for TDIF use only. Use only on TDIF digital connectors. - The +4/-10 Padded DigiSnake is an output-only snake for use only on the 192 I/O +4 dBU output port. You can use any other snake for the 192 I/O -10dBv input connector. - The ProControl snake has one DB25 connector with a reversed pin-out to match the ProControl.
Note: the 96 I/O uses TRS connectors, not DB25 Digi Cables Index | All FAQ Index [7268] Why is Digidesign offering DigiSnakes? The 192 I/O audio interface has a connection design where all audio connections on the I/O cards are via DB25 connectors*. This is due to lack of real estate. There physically is not enough room on the back of the 192 I/O for its entire throughput capacity to be available on individual connectors.
Additional notes, not related to the DigiLink cables: The Legacy Port on the back of the of the HD I/O uses the "legacy" interface cable that came with your legacy interface.

What is the maximum number of Digidesign cards that I can use? Can I install as many cards as I can fit into an expansion chassis? [4275] What are PCI Slots? When you buy a computer, it comes from the manufacturer with the capacity to perform certain tasks out of the box (i.e, word-processing, playing games, etc.). However, certain specialized functions, such as professional quality audio and video manipulation, usually require that you add both software and hardware to the computer.
No. The only cards tested by Digidesign to be installed in an expassion chassis are TDM based cards, and Sample Cell II TDM and non-TDM cards. The Audiomedia III card, and the Digi 001 system were not tested by Digidesign inside an expansion chassis. Note that some companies other than Digidesign have tested these cards inside an expansion chassis. In case of troubleshooting, the Digidesign Tech Support department reserves the right to ask that the system be installed in a supported configuration.
Here are a two examples, using common configurations: A Pro Tools Mix Plus system, with added Mix cards, DSP Farms and Sample Cell cards: 13 Slot expansion Chassis Slot 6: Mix Core Slot 7: Mix Farm Slot 8: Mix Farm Slot 9: Mix I/O Slot 10: DSP Farm II Slot 11: DSP Farm II Slot 12: DSP Farm I Slot 13: Sample Cell II TDM Slot 14: Sample Cell II TDM Slot 15: Sample Cell II TDM Slot 16: Empty Slot 17: Empty Slot 18: Empty A Pro Tools 24 system (using a d24 card as the core), with Mix Farms (no Mix Core), and Sa

What kind of computer do I need to successfully work with HTDM Plug-Ins? How many HTDM Plug-Ins can be used in a session? How much memory will I need? Will I experience latency when using HTDM Plug-Ins? In Pro Tools v5.1 and higher I can use RTAS Plug-Ins on a TDM system.
[7245] How many HTDM Plug-Ins can be used in a session? Depending on the host CPU speed and the number of audio streams per Plug-In, you can instantiate up to 32 mono or 16 stereo HTDM Plug-Ins. The number of Plug-Ins you can run is also practically limited by available memory, as many HTDM Plug-Ins require large amounts of additional RAM.
Can I use DirectConnect and HTDM at the same time? HTDM Plug-Ins and DirectConnect can be used simultaneously in your session because DirectConnect in fact is a special HTDM Plug-In that allows other host-based applications to stream their audio into Pro Tools. HTDM Index | All FAQ Index [7252] How about RTAS and HTDM Plug-Ins? Can I mix both Plug-In types in a session? At this time we highly recommend not using HTDM and RTAS Plug-Ins simultaneously in order to avoid audio artifacts or other problems.
I followed the 001 Factory Install Notes for installing the PACE System Files and Factory Plug-Ins. When Pro Tools launches I can only run the demo versions of the plug-ins. If I click Next to authorize the plug-in, a "Hardware Key Required" dialog comes up saying that no hardware key can be found.
