Re: Omni with 192 Issues/Questions
Okay, I'm getting audio to PT just fine through the 192 analog inputs, but can't get anything via the ADAT connections. Everything's connected properly, and I've tried everything I can think of with the hardware routing, but no go on anything via ADAT. Is there some setup trick I'm missing?

If you are using something with Pro Tools it's not "stand alone" And "everything is connected properly" does no help. What exactly is connected to what? The Omni and 192 IO TOSLINK are both set to ADAT not S/PDIF? You using chassis or digital card TOSLINK in the 192. Clear details of exactly what you are doing would help, as might screenshots showing the IO setup and hardware pages. As already mentioned, the 192 has no internal monitoring mixer. It has no way of taking Analog inputs and putting them out on ADAT output. Pro Tools itself do whatever you want it to in terms of routing inputs to outputs. But you say analog input to ADAT input... you mean you want analog input to ADAT output on the Omni? Again Pro Tools can do that, the hardware itself can't. Maybe you need to describe what you are trying to achieve at a high level, get analog inputs from what exactly out to ADAT to what device for what purpose... and folks here will have more of a chance of helping you. Or are you trying to use Pro Tools to go out the ADAT output on the 192 and then into the Omni ADAT input in stand alone mode? Uh why exactly? You might be much better off with a stand alone monitor controller. |

Re: Omni with 192 Issues/Questions
Sorry if I wasn't clear. Nothing is standalone, Pro Tools is always open. For expanded recording, I'm all set. 192 is recognized and working, and I can choose and route any of its eight inputs.
The reason I want to access the ADAT signals is just for monitoring—not recording— additional signals through the OMNI mixer. But beyond its four analog inputs, the OMNI mixer will only pass S/PDIF and ADAT signals to the monitor path. Because Avid won't write a multi-client driver, I have a secondary sound card to audition audio from Sound Forge, Basehead and any other audio program I might have open simultaneously with Pro Tools. I also have Logic on a separate Mac, and sometimes need to reference audio from there during sessions. All of this needs input channels, and I don't want to have to create multiple aux channels in PT just to hear stuff. Does that make sense? Regarding the ADAT signal from the 192, I've set the first eight outputs to Optical in the hardware setup and connected the dedicated, labelled ADAT out from the digital card to the OMNI ADAT in. Other than that I see nowhere else to specify digital format or routing settings. My Apogee Rosetta 800 can route analog inputs directly to ADAT outputs. Is it possible the 192 can't do this even when Pro Tools is running?

Re: Omni with 192 Issues/Questions
I've read this twice and am still confused on what and why this is important. If all the 192 inputs work, then you can monitor them just as any input in any session(sorry, but I don't understand the need to fee outputs to the OMNI). Maybe you would be better off with a more "socked" Monitor/source switcher? Presonus Central Station is one option that works well here and allows me to listen to:
Pro Tools Main outs(analog) non-PT audio via optical SPDIF(from computer) Secondary computer station via Mbox2 Pro(RCA SPDIF out) iPhones(clients) via a mini TRS cable that is patched and ready I also feed a separate analog output that allows me to listen to tracks on a separate set of speakers(pre-fade send on every track, all muted and used instead of the solo button while tracking)

Re: Omni with 192 Issues/Questions
I see. Just my opinion, but I think you maybe using the wrong tool for the job. Might it be easier to feed the various sources into a small mixer and send a single stereo signal to the OMNI for monitoring?
Just to maybe confuse you even more, here is how I "SOLO" things while tracking(because using the SOLO buttons will affect aux sends and headphone mixes while talent is tracking); Every track in my session has (in the last send slot) a muted Pre-Fade send at -0. Those all feed a single stereo output and show up as a source on my Central station(which would also work on an OMNI input, either analog or digital from your 192). I can select that input to be monitored, and by Ctrl-click on any send, I will hear that track(or combination of tracks). The side benefit of this is that I can also "solo" effect returns without worrying about Solo-Safe)

Re: Omni with 192 Issues/Questions
I'm with Dave here, find the right hammer to hit the screw with.
I'm not sure why you still seem to be asking the question--the 192 has no onboard mixing/monitoring capability, it cannot route anything itself. It is pure IO for a DAW. |

Your soloing system is very tricky and creative. Definitely worth looking at more closely. Thanks for all your input.

Re: Omni with 192 Issues/Questions
I made the incorrect assumption that, as an A/D, it could route its analog inputs directly to its ADAT outputs since I have other units that can do that. My bad.
