The Latest Studio Scorecard

[billroper]

The RayDAT card turns out to be fine. The source that was feeding ADAT 3 and ADAT 4 isn't. This means that either:

The Frontier Apache patch bay has a bad channel (unlikely)

The long optical cable connecting the patch bay to the d8b is bad (quite possible)

The OPT-8 card in the d8b has gone bad (possible -- I have a spare)

Something else internal to the d8b has gone bad (I hope to heck not!)

Something is not plugged in correctly (always possible)

More diagnosis is scheduled for a later date.

*sigh*

The Plot thickens :-\ So are you still recording with ADATS or are you in the process of switching to CuBase? I will need to upgrade my CuBase at some point but hate to do this while I am in the midst of projects :-P Sue and I did a quick recording of "A Bard's Song" yesterday which Sue wrote based on Taunya Huff's Quarters books. We mangaed to keep the dog from barking while we were doing this :-) Hope you are all doing well my friend. Off to Winnipeg in a week for a funeral and to visit with Dave.

I'm doing primary recording in Cubase, but I'm using ADATs for remote recording and then transferring the results into Cubase.

If you're not in the middle of mixing, I don't think you should have much trouble with the Cubase upgrade. (Of course, I can say that. :) )

I'm sorry that you're heading to Winnipeg for a funeral. But I hope you have a good time visiting with Dave!
