XITE + PCI @ 96KHz
Posted: Sun Feb 08, 2015 11:26 am
Now working with Reason to Scope at 96KHz, no Cubase - makes for a much improved workflow.
But first I needed a new way to connect PCI to XITE. I found the SMUX radio button on Pulsar II Sample Rate dialog and voila it worked, ADAT at 96KHz.
After a couple of sessions the dreaded crackles came over ADAT - I have had the issue before with Pulsar ADAT so used Luna 2 ADAT instead. But Luna has no SMUX.
Rebuilding the PCI project or restoring it from a backup worked, but again crackles came back,
Then I remembered some posts from Dawman about using AES/EBU at 96KHz so gave it a shot. Pulsar2 to XITE-1D via AES/EBU worked ! Although only 1 stereo pair that's all I needed for a couple of mono synths- synthbass on left and lead on right.
Seems to me a much more stable connection than the ADAT on my Pulsar 2.
Also seems wierd that once the crackles came it was embedded in PCI project - eg corrupted. Rebooting and reloading same PCI project still had crackles but rebuilding project got rid of them for a while.
Anyway AES/EBU seems the way to go.
