Been having a strange problem lately. I have an XITE-1 with an A16U connected via Z-Link. Whenever I turn on the PC, Scope starts, but it doesn't load the DSPs. Sample rate is never set, and DSP Meter shows 0%. If I reboot a few more times, it will startup and keep alive for the session, but it's er...

How about http://ctrlr.org/ ?

Ha! Could be
The software is free, though, just didn't have the time to install and test it

Anybody seen or tried this yet? https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/fairlight Apparently, the new version of Resolve (A/V editing suite) includes a full multitrack recorder / editor / mixer, capable of 1000 tracks at 192KHz, VST hosting, automation etc. Says it's technology by F...

wow, now that you mention it, my ilok licenser updated automatically last week and I've been having a load of troubles ever since with ilok-licensed plugins. Will check that update! Thanks!

Been using their Slick EQ and Kotelnikov plugs for a while, Gentleman's edition, of course Both are very good, but Kotelnikov gets a lot of use here, especially as a "program" compressor.

Funny, I think I first heard about them here on Z

I tried many AV, but now I just use Window's own Security Essentials, which I can turn off when working on music (and offline). Never had a problem with it, and, in principle, should have the best OS integration.

I once volunteered to beta-test the Duende VSTs, and eventually was offered one plugin for free, and any others at 50% discount. I ended up with the Master Bus Compressor and the X-EQ plugs. When they did away with the USB dongle, I was also offered their Valve Comp, so these 3 are the ones I have. ...

Well, from my own experience, and from what I read here, only the Magmas work properly, I don't know why, but they must have some proprietary technology. And even then, you need the correct parts- I bought 3 different chassis on Ebay until I gave up and built one myself with the right components- on...

Hello Ableman!

Anabella, this one worked very well with 3 scope boards, had a few threads here on z about it. Was yours a magma too?

The Magma is gone, to a fellow Scoper. Thanks!

Hi, I'm selling my Magma CB2 PCI to Express Card chassis and adapter set. Please see here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/182437446327?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 You can make an offer on Ebay... Let me know if you're from here, I'll make a special price for fellow Z'ers I also ...

Alright, thanks for the info! As an update, I gave up on the TC idea for now, it could be great, but money's too tight. I got me a small Yamaha mixer at a nice price, sound is OK, and much smaller than my mackie. That will have to do until I get gigs that pay better :) Again, thanks for all your inp...

Just noticed this on the BMC-1 manual: " BMC-2 allows you to switch between three digital input sources – S/PDIF/AES3, TOS and ADAT " Is AES3 the same as AES/EBU? Could it somehow recognize the signal leve and adjust its level? The connector is cinch.. EDIT: Reading further: "When you...

Thanks for the info. Gary is right, I guess it could happen. I could find the converters on ebay, so if I can score the TC, it seems like a sensible solution to the AES/EBU-SPDIF problem. The only thing I don't like about the TC is that it can't do much else. if it had an analogue input, it would be...

Yes, a cable. Hosa seem to be hard to find in Europe, so I was looking into impedance converters. It does show up every now and then that, for short distances, all you need is a (properly wired) cable. I don't want to burn the equipment, though...

That benchmark DAC looks nice, but way above my budget. I could get the TC for about 200 euros, and that's already pushing my budget, but thought it might work better / be more convenient than a similarly priced analogue mixer or monitor controller. I need a volume control for safety reasons, when I...

Thanks, Gary. I forgot to mention, I only need this for live performances, at home i'm sorted. Not many of those alternatives have a vu meter, though

Great advice, I didn't know this.

I always use the MB7 on my projects, btw.

Hi! Does anyone have any experience with the TC BMC-2 D/A, and how it compares to the XITE's own DACs? I am thinking of getting a used one to use as a master volume controller for my XITE-1 setup, but, since it has no analogue inputs, I'd need to use the SPDIF. Would this be noticeably different? Wo...
