Need some help please

Alright guys, I have been brainbusting this for a bit now. I have a API dsm setup tied to my HD rig. I have a control 24 (big mouse) that I use for mixing and use the pres when I have to for tracking. Bottom line, I mix out of the box into 16 channels of API, out to my 2500 Buss comp and then out of the 7800 master section to my Benchmark ADC-1, then AES into Pro Tools via the Digi 192.

My setup looks like this.

One Apogee DA-16 X takes all the audio from Pro Tools and kicks it to my API stuff. I then have 3 Apogee Rosetta 800's wired to my analog gear in a TT bay. i also have a 192 as well for hardware insert. It is a nice flowing system that works well, however

THE QUESTION: Seeing that I come out of my rig into the Apogee DA-16X. That supports my OUTS. How can I audition and use all the cool features of that when my 192 is set for analog Compressors and EQ. I can't for my life figure it out. Should I consider using my Control 24 and a cheap monitor setup for that ability and then the Blue Sky's through the API.

Just trying to figure out how to audition. Pro Tools does not allow, but the first 8 on that and it looks to default to the 192. Seeing that it is wired to the bay and not to the DA-16x I am at a loss I think.

Ideas?

I think that I may have figured it out. Going to try to put my DA-16X first in line. I think though that my 192 gets lost if it is not first. Not sure why, but I remember that for some reason.

I will let you know.

Glad I could be of service - seriously, where would you be without my priceless advice and insight? Hahahahaha.



Sorry - I'm an idiot - that may have only been amusing to me.

Yep - because we both know that I am the one who really helped him with his issue ... as we know where he would've been without my priceless advice and insight

:lol:

You guys were incredible. The check is in the mail. Thanks for the quality customer service. Even my warranty was out and you still helped me.

*WAKE UP* Oh hell that was me thinking that DIGI would help me, but nope.... Not registered on my C24 and the 7.4 was out of 30 day warranty so the guy became a dick and told me that my credit card would work though. Figured I had done enough "support" for digi so told him thanks, but I will figure it out.

:finger:

Figured it out. Took the 192 outta the first and relied on the DA-16XC X-HD card to work. It did. I can now audition through my API summing rig and listen to shit before I bring it in.

Great work guys.... :lol: :doubledeuce:

Actually, I helped him the most by not offering any advice or insight because my knowledge of an HD rig couldn't even fill a thimble. :D

The first people I would call is Apogee rather than digi.

:grin: Ya talked to Brett there and he was great on the phone. Even told me that if I mentioned to Digi that I was using Apogee and Benchmark that they would have turned me off.

Figured it out though. Just needed to put my DA-16X on the core and move the I/O a bit. The audition path now works and I can hear stuff before I import it in. Have not had that feature for a year now.

Thanks.
