Hello everyone,
I have a 4 eds cards in my Mac (all cards have been interconnected with the ribbon connectors inside), my A card is hooked up
to my MEC,
Paris recognizes all cards in the Patch Bay, I have mixer A
mixer B, mixer C and mixer D.
the mixer A has monitor outputs (mL, mR) that go to my MEC, so I have no issues with Submix A as far as recording/monitoring etc,
now Id like to set it up so that I can choose to record from my MEC to any one of the other cards,
everytime I try to establish a connection from MEC to Mixer B, C or D, it gives me an error that it cannot cross the EDS boundaries ,
My main question is how do I setup the patch bay so that I can record from my MEC to any submix/card I desire (A B C or D)?
I can also see each other mixer card has an output (L R), what do I do with it?
Thanks,
MFO

Good news and bad news. The bad news is that unfortunately. you can't patch across EDS boundaries. Only stuff from Submix A can be patched to things in Submix A.
The good news is that while technically you don't directly assign a MEC to a submix (since they're each cabled to one particular EDS card), you achieve the same result by assigning the EDS card the MEC is physically cabled to to the desired submix. Hit "G" and call up your Master Mixer, that's where you can assign EDS cards to submixes by their letters. Assign the one with the MEC to the submix you want to record into.
The individual LR output of each mixer (that's the software representation of that submix's mixer rather than the card's) after A apparently outputs only the audio from that particular submix.

I have a similar situation. Perhaps I am missing something here.
I have 2 MECs, 2 EDS cards, and 2 C16 PROs. I also have 2 8 ch. input cards, 1 8 ch output card, and 1 ADAT card, ... in each MEC.
The C16s are connected to Cards A and B, respectively. The cards are connected thus: Card A > MEC 1, CARD B > MEC 2.
Playback is not an issue. I have been moving my files over to Submix 2 [Card B] for now.
I tried your card re-assignment suggestion in the Master Mixer, but no go.
When I feed audio to MEC 2, I see the signal at the input card, in the proper channel, but not in Mixer [Submix 2]. I can arm the track in Submix 2, but no signal appears in the Mixer.
I'm pretty sure I have my patch bay setup correctly. Each Mixer Output goes to each corresponding MEC module Input; 1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc.
Ideally, I would like to record into Card B, while monitoring playback tracks from A and B.
Am I missing something obvious here?
Thanks for your reply.
And thanks a million for your continued efforts to keep PARIS alive.
Happy New Year,
Paul
