Re: First experience with NVMe M.2 in enclosure - bad.

I've been researching since my last post and learned what's discontinued and current, Samsung Magician v8 changes, etc. Echo III SE is back on the table.

Re: First experience with NVMe M.2 in enclosure - bad.

Brilliant advice. Scanning your firmware post, the scenario that may work best for me is a few X5 or T5/T7 drives connected to this small OWC 1x3 TB Hub...

Re: First experience with NVMe M.2 in enclosure - bad.

I’ve watched so many production videos showing external drives, hubs, cables and warts splayed out on the desk. That’s a bit of a mood crusher for me in a creative environment.

I’m surprised that...

Re: First experience with NVMe M.2 in enclosure - bad.

I'm up and running with Mac Studio M2 Max and RME I/O and still sorting through storage options. While the Sandisk Blade Station looked promising for multi-bay pluggable storage, heat and noise...

Re: Downgrade from my Avid Omni to Mbox Studio?

After much research I've upgraded from Avid Omni to RME UFX III for running PT Ultimate and other DAWs. Mbox Studio was on my short list but I wanted the lowest possible latency for VIs and a 1U form...

Re: Anybody successfully using an HD Native TB/Omni with a Mac Studio?

Slightly off topic, I’m moving to Mac Studio and have Omni PCIe. Can you suggest specific interfaces that exceed Omni quality? I’ve considered Avid Mbox Studio but don’t know yet if this is...

Re: Carbon Lite?

To add a wrinkle, yesterday Avid announced its decision to EOL HD Native Thunderbolt Core, which follows discontinuation of the core PCIe card a few years ago. This further sunsets Omni on old and...

Re: Carbon Lite?

I don't have high hopes for this but it doesn't hurt to ask. Omni for me has been the perfect project studio interface. I've only needed a second headphone output once (for an experiment) and 2 mic...

Carbon Lite?

Has Avid considered a Carbon-lite product that sits in between Carbon and the new Mbox Studio? I would like Hybrid HDX functionality with say 2 preamps, 8 line inputs and 1 or 2 headphone outputs....

Re: Badly Mixed But Still a Hit - What Does That Mean?

Ahh, sorry about that.

For me many of the old tracks sounded great in their historical context. Occasionally something would stand out, like one Utopia album that sounded harsh on my inexpensive...

Re: Badly Mixed But Still a Hit - What Does That Mean?

I agree with you that many great 70s tracks transcended the need for perfection. On the Cricklewood Green (1970) LP by Ten Years After, the song Working on the Road has an interesting glitch around...

Re: Buying an Interface

I guessed MADI would be the reason for UFX. Sounds like I'll be fine with UFXII for my use case.

Re: Buying an Interface

Thanks guys. This resolves my UCXII versus UFXII question. Benoni, can you share why you've chosen UFX+ over UFXII?

Thanks,

Re: Buying an Interface

Hi Benoni, perhaps you can help answer an RME question. I'm considering UFX II for my next interface, but the one feature it lacks compared to UCX II is SteadyClock FS. Is this enough of a reason to...

Re: SSD?

Re: SSD?

Hi Darryl, I'm preparing to upgrade my 2010 5,1 to a Mac Studio Max, likely 64GB RAM / 8TB SSD running Monterey as shipped. Having 8TB SSD may enable moving everything into the box - system, apps,...

Re: Honest interface question.

Hi Darryl, For generally small sessions not needing MADI, do you see any advantages to USB3/TB2 versus USB2 still being used in UFX II and UCX II? Buying a USB2 interface in 2022 gives me pause,...

Re: HD Native vs Thunderbolt direct

The video helps me clarify the purpose of two FPGAs on the HDX card, versus one on the HD interface. It seems the HD Native FPGA offers some increased channel count in Pro Tools, automatic latency...

Re: OWC ThunderBay Flex 8 and Omni HD PCIe card?

Great feedback Darryl thanks. I don't need top PCIe performance but really like the idea of a single chassis to house dual production drives (SSD), dual Backup drives (HDD) and my Avid PCIe card. Not...

OWC ThunderBay Flex 8 and Omni HD PCIe card?

Greetings, has anyone tried running a PTHD Omni PCIe card in the new OWC ThunderBay Flex 8? Avid does not list this as compatible, hopefully because the unit has not been officially tested yet. I'm...

Re: HD OMNI stand-alone without PT running

Thanks Ryan. I’ve been in an older PT / High Sierra setup but will update soon with a M1 Mac purchase. So maybe this will sort itself out.
