stormy Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Are you expanding your interface via ADAT? Which brand(s) do you use? How do you clock it? What are your ping values when using the I/O Plugin in Logic? Do they stay consistent? I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem dcescribed on another thread ( viewtopic.php?f=1&t=133876&p=683799#p683799 ) and I'm looking for real world data and experiences. My results: RME interface, ping value always reported at 0 samples. Focusrite Clarett Octopre connected via ADAT, ping varies from 4 to 36 samples, depending if it's a full round trip or not. AND the value varies randomly in the same project and I/O path Thanks for any insights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuddha23 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 hi. I use ADAT light pipe output from my Mac Pro to my Motu 2408s. I have 2 MOTU units that each have 24 inputs and outputs. so I basically run 48 in/outs to my analog console, when mixing, but usually just 24 inputs when tracking. the 2 Motus are plugged into 2 Alesis HD24s for the analogue/digital conversion. rock solid forever in my studio. hope that helps Buddha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ploki Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 i have the Presonus Digimax 8, but never tested it. will try. do you use your RME as the master clock via BNC, or the external pre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Thanks! I've done both: RME as master via BNC, and Focusrite as master via ADAT. The ping results differ with each method, but the problem remains: the values change for no reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ploki Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 wierd, i can't see how that would be possible without reseting audio driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 I've isolated the problem to the ping values for the DA conversion changing randomly. The DA is rock solid. Even a restart of the unit will make the ping values change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
