Re: WTB: Creamware/Sonicore/Ferrofish A16 or Pulse 16

Bud, Thanks for your input & comments My cables are fine as I have one remaining working A16U so I can test on this and no issues there. The A16U that went down actually was connected via ADAT directly from a RME RAYDAT. It's not cables, I checked/swapped them to test - you can't change the sync...

Re: WTB: Creamware/Sonicore/Ferrofish A16 or Pulse 16

Thanks for your reply @nebelfuerst Z-link is a pretty good link, superior to Adat. Adat now works well, but it required lots of tweaking and high quality cabling. Totally agree. I've got my DAW machine (not Scope, RME) connecting via ADAT into my standalone Scope rig, which then feeds an A16U. I was...

Re: WTB: Creamware/Sonicore/Ferrofish A16 or Pulse 16

FWIW a word of warning for those considering a used A16U I'm on my 3rd (and last) A16 Ultra - Over the past 15 years I've replaced my original A16 TWICE with used units as I've now had 2 go down on me. I'd happily pay to get them fixed but apparently they're now unrepairable or cost prohibitive depe...

Re: Scope PCI cards clicks & pops - Windows 7 & Cubase 10

OK, reporting back with how I resolved my problem here. My solution, was quite simply separating the DAW from Scope with a (significant/serious) upgrade to the main machine (i9 12 core, professionally built & configured/tuned etc) to run Cubase 10 in W10 and associated plugins......finally (FINA...

Re: voltage problem with 3 cards ?

If you're happy to use Scope environment as a standalone device (ie not interacting with any current day software) the cheapest and easiest option I have found to keep pci cards alive and kicking has been to maintain secondary/supporting offline older PC's...

Thanks Gary...

Re: Scope PCI cards clicks & pops - Windows 7 & Cubase 10

ATAPI? Is there still an external volume going in this case, or are you using software to load ISO's and the like? Nope, no external volume exists (I'm assuming you're referring to like a CD or DVD drive??) Why would I load "ISO"'s? Are you referring to when say originally windows 7 was i...

i guess it just depends on what is more important, this computer that is either set up incorrectly, or just does not work, correctly, or the UAD and Scope and outboards and audio... My time is the most important, for making music & the associated creative process, everything else gear related j...

Thanks for that OK so clearly a massive fail with trying to use an external USB drive for audio :cry: Will try that. If I disable the "8C2D" (a good name for a Droid :lol: ) is it then a matter of trial and error with identifying the particular USB ports that will be lost? I assume this wo...
