Problem: no meter activity (Ver.3 software)

Postby FlametopFredVer2 » Mon Mar 19, 2012 7:23 pm

Hello.
Using a d8b running Version 3 software.

What is weird is how good this board sounds in comparison to the older Version 5 board I was using.

However, just this weekend, I was playing multitrack (Alesis HD24) which has been fine.
Now there is nothing being heard, and no meter activity.

Any thoughts? I am pulling my hair out.

You never stated your setup so trouble shooting will be tough to do until you have.

Till then, make sure the sample rates match between units.

Verify that is just the tape inputs that have gone away. Can you get a mic signal through the console?

tested with input - no signal coming in from inputs, from tapes ... no meter activity.

Everything "looks" normal in all the settings, all the connections.

I have torn out all my hair and now I am bald

What is your clock card situation? Are you using the Apogee or the stock card? This sounds like a clock issue, like there is no clock signal.

Sounds like time for the "ribbon cable connection correction" treatment!! :D :D
