ing this, no audio will play through the submix that card C is
assigned to.
I guess I've got more testing to do. First I'm going to pull card B, replace
it with card C and see if I have any problems with playback on either MEC B
or C.
If it won't play on either MEC, then it's likely the card. If it plays on
one MEC but not the other, then it's likely the MEC.
If it plays on both MECs, I'm going to start switching ribbon cables between
the cards and see if one of them is the culprit.
If I still have no problems, I'll be stumped 'cause cards A & B work
fine.......or so it seems right now.
Maybe I'll get finished with this sometime today.

If so what are the verdicts?Just remember that guitar level is -20dB and look for a switch
on your rack box(es) to send into the input of your amp at that
level to optimise your signal to noise without overdrive or
distortion (unless you want it)

outs were self terminating if they didn't see another device.
Just for grins, I just terminated the BNC outs of each MEC with 75ohm
resistor caps.
It's working now. I don't have enough time on it to be convinced that this
is going to be the final solution, but it looks like the BNC out on MEC 2
may have been spewing..
I'm wondering if aging MECs are sort of like boats. When they get old, they
start getting leaky.
I'm going to do some major testing of this today and I'll be back later.

>Bad SCSI cable between MEC 2 and card B. It was getting intermittant. I have
replaced it with a new cable and so far I have done a number of reboots,
opening/closing of projects,etc and so far, so good. I guess it's always
possible that this may be only one of *more than one* problems, but with all
of the testing I've been doing and the consistent symptoms, this makes way
more sense than anything else.

Lucid GenX6 and split off 2 x short cables and ran them into the BNC inputs
of my RMEW HDSP 9652's. then I took another separate clock cable from a

replaced on of my $60.00 Zoalla WC cables with a $10.00 Canare from the
GenX6 to MEC #2/CardB. Submix 2 and 3 now play back fine.. The only problem
is that the digital I/O on MECs 2 and 3 aren't passing signal so I can't
patch my Quantec and Lexi across auxes on these submixes.
I'll get there, but I've definitely had better days.

Well.........shit!!!!!!! Guess what??? Removing the line UseHouseSync=1 from
the .cfg file, rebooting opening up a project, then closing, going back into
the .cfg file and adding the line again seems to have fixed things. I didn't
notice any misspelling of the text, but who knows? Maybe I had a pair of
character in this command line that were inverted
I think it would take me about an hour just to write down everything I've
tried today.
This is the first time I've fixed a DAW by massaging a .txt file.
I wonder if it will *stay* fixed?

>So I picked up a Kawai MP-9000 from Sydney over this weekend, along with
a reasonable 50 watt keyboard amp too which I was planning to sell, but am
now considering keeping... anyhow...
It has a little fault in the final preamp stage, where it does that thing
that amp circuits do at times, where you get this crackly hiss happenning,
or just crackling occassionally, and the hiss gets better and worse, and
you get a bit of distortion on the channel at times... I'm sure some of
you have heard this fault on gear before. I'm pretty sure it's just a transistor.
Anyhow, I pulled it apart to see what the chances are of fixing it myself,
and indeed fixing the bent key on my OTHER MP-9000...
So I had a look around the internals, and I got to thinking...
The thing is nicely laid out and divided up. Nice neat power supply on the
left. A couple of PCB's mounted to the displays, I/O and controls. The basic
digital end of things is taken care of by a single PCB in the middle, which
is straddled on one side by a board which seems to help interface the main
board with the controls and displays, and a board on the other side which
takes care of the audio output, including the preamps and I think the EQ
circuits which I think must be analog but controlled digitally, which is
sensible enough.
The basic MP-9000 itself though is a single board in the middle. The thing
that makes the sounds and controls
The MP-9000 has only 16 basic sounds. It's newer brother has 64 sounds. The
controls are identical. The display is identical. The preamp and EQ identical.
Far as I can tell the only difference between the two is that one single
board in the middle which deals with the digital core of things, and the
action of the keyboard itself which has some changes also.
But I'm thinking I could drop the main board of a 9500 striaight in this
baby and make myself a 9000/9500 hybrid... a 9250 if you will.
What's more there is a new MP-4 just released, once again with the same controls,
but more sound upgrades, better polyphony, but without the wooden keys. And
there are rumours another MP model is on the way to replace the 9000 series
which may have possibly even more sounds, or better sounds, or who knows
what.
I'm thinking of buying service manuals for some of these boards and seeing
if I think it's possible to swap out some of these parts between models.
If I can build myself a keyboard with all the benefits of wooden keys, plus
all the sounds of one of Kawai's newer keyboards...
....or maybe I should just spend the money on a seperate MIDI sound module
and be done with it... ;o) ...nah, ANYONE can do THAT. ;oP ;o)
Cheers,
Kim.3000$ ? for an aurora 16
oups
id rather find 2 8in + 1 8 out cards for such prices.... i aint a pro who
can put so much on a converter.
it's just to use 2 dp4's as sends you know...in a home studio.
thx anyway for the advices, i now know one more stuff i can't buy ;-))

Frankly, it won't do anything. It simply isn't possible for an
external clock to effect the audio of the Aurora one way or the other.
When our SynchroLock is ON, the Aurora is always running from its own
internal clock. If you connect an external clock source to the
Aurora, the SynchroLock will use this as its reference - but the
actual clock signal is still being generated inside the Aurora.
The only way an external clock could effect the audio quality is if
SynchroLock hadn't locked yet (the light was still flashing), or if
SynchroLock was switched off completely (only possible with the Aurora
Remote Mixer software & an AES16).

No doubt some rare form of gear slut insanity...
DonThe correct way to covert a 9000 and a 9500 into a 9250 is to saw both in
half at middle C and nail both halves back together.

I'm glad you mentioned that. I mean he was there when I came up with the
idea, so it was clearly his job to tell me if it wasn't going to work...

>After playing around a bit, I decided to buy Mackie's Tracktion 2 and use
it as a front end to Paris, sort of how some of you seem to be using Cubase.It's
really pretty inuitive as a songwriting tool if I can ever get what I'm trying
to do here to work. I'll be using Tracktion 2 mostly as a sequencer/VSTi
host for BFD, etc. to flesh out song ideas and then sum it through Paris
while doing any remaining true audio tracks in Paris.
I want to use Paris to control Tracktion. I'm using the Frontier Design Dakota/Sierra
configuration as the audio/midi card in the Tracktion machine and having
a hell of a time getting Sync to happen properly with my Paris rig. I can't
use the ADAT sync out of Paris v3 in Xp because of the known ADAT issues
in Paris Xpv3 (you can't even drive a regular ADAT with it) and it doesn't
appear that I have any other alternative but to stripe a SMPTE track in Paris
and use that to drive the Sierra/Dakota which converts the SMPTE to MTC which
Tracktion understands. My attempts at this approach are making me want to
buy an Sm-58, a 4 track Syncassette and a cheesey drum machine!
The Tracktion 2 MTC timecode set-up only has settings of 24, 25 or 30 fps
and no df or nd settings.Still I can get things to sync visually (frames
match in Paris and Tracktion interfaces) but get no audio until I hit stop
on the C16 and catch the tail of the last note(s) playing in Tracktion. If
I unlock Tracktion from Paris altogether Tracktion audio plays back fine
through Paris.(Sounds great actually - BFD is a great tool)
Anyway, any ideas as to what I am doing wrong here or what the problem might
be or even another approach I might take? I know I'm not worthy, but I almost
feel deej-like here in terms of my self imposed convolution!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
JonJon,

With you so far.

The ADAT modules send ADAT timecode in Paris XP, the same as they do in Win
9x. The Paris SX driver doesn't recognize ADAT machines, but the module
sends timecode just fine.
I stopped having luck with the Dakota card once I upgraded from Cubase v1.6
to v2.0 because I was no longer able to match the buffer settings in the
Cubase SX application to the buffer settings in the Dakota control panel. My
theory is that for some reason, the Dakota ADAT sync input doesn't allow the
system to lock up properly to incoming Paris ADAT sync if the sync settings
can't be matched in the actual audio application and the Dakota control
panel. No clue why. I don't know about Traktion, but an RME card works
flawlessly with Paris ADAT sync in Cubase SX.

Brian T. posted a while back that he was using a pair of Steinberg MidEX
interfaces to lock Paris to Nuendo.This might be the ticket for you.

Yep, sounds like som sort of buffer issue you have there.

If the card don't fit, you must quit.......RME=problem free
The snake eater.
;o)For some time I've been ranting and raving about the possibility of moving
to St Kilda, which, for those of you who don't live in or know Melbourne
(all but about 2 of you ;o) is an inner city suburb by the beach, full of
flats, pubs, bars, flats, cafes, bakeries, pubs, restaurants, bars, pubs,
lots of public transport, pubs and bars, oh, and did I mention pubs...
Last night however I went to another Melbourne suburb, being Northcote, and
went to a bar, and a pub. ;o) Northcote has been on the possibility list
for a while, but I think last night has nidged it up the list. Firstly, I
really liked the two places we went last night. At the second bar, for example,
a band was packing up, and I saw the guy packing up his double bass... and
a band with a double bass sounds promising to me... and meanwhile, as the
band was finished, some old 40's music was playing through the PA. The bar
before that had on one of my favourite CD's of the last few years, being
David Holmes "Come Get it. I Got it".
Plus, Northcote is only about 15 minutes from work, whereas St Kilda is more
like 45 minutes...
....but Northcote isn't near the beach! )o;
....mind you, in my price range, in St Kilda I'm likely to only get some
tiny little 2 bedroom flat in a multistory block, whereas in Northcote I
might actually get myself a small actual house, which would be good, and
have spaces to park more than one car... and, of course, not being a multistory
flat, I may be able to get away with actually doing some recording of loud
instruments.
I think I might have to change destinations...
Cheers,
Kim.In which area are you most likely to get laid, and by who?
