![]() ![]() Let me see if I can answer your questions thoroughly enough.įirst of all, yes this is the correct interface unit (the saffire pro 40)Īs of right now, I'm using the saffire pro 40 linked to a saffire octopre mkII via Adat, (the saffire acting as the master wordclock), running into my hp pc (160 gb hard drive with 4gb ram running windows 7) via FireWire, and have never had a problem getting audio out of either device into reaper. This will be a great mixer when finished. Another buddy who is a EE/audio designer has offered to build a new summing buss/amps based on API opamps. I don't think I will need anything much more than a new frame to accomodate the smaller size and some wire to get it all running. I have access to the original design engineer on the console as my Dad had worked for Auditronics and he has agreed to help me rebuild the console. All the modules and such in the console are in excellent condition, but sadly the guy who had it ripped out the wiring harnesses and made it pretty much useless as it is. It cost me about $250 for gas & dinner for the 4-5 friends that helped me take it down and load it up. About 4 days later I got a call from a buddy in Nashville (he had no knowledge of my coversation on Gearslutz) that he had come across the console, he told me that it was going to the dump in a week and that if I wanted it I could have it for "Free", just pick it up. ![]() We replied back & forth talking about the console and as I had lost track of this board many years before, I stated that I wish I could get it back as it would be great with a PT system for front-end and summing. One guy replied that it was the first "Real" console he had ever worked with. I mentioned this board and it's original owner in Dallas. Last year on my birthday I chimed in on a post at Gearslutz discussing Auditronics consoles. I originally owned this console in the late 70's, very early 80's but when I went from 16 to 24 track I had to get a new board with more inputs (Soundworkshop Series 30 with 28 I/O). The story behind this Auditronics/Spectrasonics console is really cool. I picked up a 20 input Auditronics/Spectrasonics analog console last year (Aerosmith's "Toys in the Attic" was recorded on one, as well as most of the later Stax Stuff and ZZ Top's first few albums.) This console is to be modified into a 16x2 summing mixer with direct outs on all the input modules to PT, the DA7 will serve as a monitor mixer for the PT system via the ADAT I/Os while tracking and also to bring extra outputs back in while mixing. I had no idea why until I started messing with the Faderport and saw that I needed to raise the slider before recording to set my levels.Got a MkI here, still chugging along with no problems. When I started to record I would use my mouse to slide my audio level up but then the slider on screen would always bottom out automatically. I just got a Presonus faderport and the reason I didnt hear any audio was because I had the slider all the way down! I wasn't using the faderport at the time and that was why I didnt hear any recording. I could hear through my Scarlett though so I knew I was on the right track but recorded audio wouldnt play back. Once I did that I could see my audio levels but I didnt hear anything. One thing I I discovered was I didnt have my settings in StudioOne2 set up correct on the input and output. I tried that but found setting it to S/PDIF sounded better. One question, I see on sync source you have it set to internal. Kempermaniac, that pic really helped me out big time. I still want to watch the video you guys are referencing to better understand the mixcontrol software but all seems well now.
