Clicks and pops when trying to record.
Hi I have problems with clicks intermittent when i set a track to Rec enable, I am using an 888/24 with an adat bridge/24. This only happens when i enable the adat digital tracks. The adat light pipe is connected to the first 8 tracks of an Otari Radar 1. I have tried changing the interface cables connecting both 888 & adat to the y cable from the Mix core Card (which resulted in loss of dsp for extra Reverb One) and also the original config, 888 connected to Y cable A be left unconnected and Adat connected to DSP Farm(Correct Rev). At first i thought it was a Clock problem so i purchased a cable to run from the Otari Radar master to Adat bridge but just got digital noise when Rec enable. I alos tried conecting adat bridge to 888 with the clock cable but it has made no difference i am still getting the clicks.
I have had this setup for a few years but never used it with the adat bridge diital inputs Any help would be great Thanks |

Re: Clicks and pops when trying to record.
Isn't the RADAR-I only 16bit device? I might remember this wrong, though, but if it is and you have a 24 bit session you might have your problem right there.
But let us assume I remember this wrong and it indeed is a 24 bit device. Anyway, you have to have all digital gear connected, not just two. - First, sync the black boxes by feeding a clock cable from the master unit to the slave. Do not loop it back, though. - Then connect ADAT both ways, input and output, so the synced clock goes to your ADAT device. - Last, set the ADAT device to sync to your clock signal. *OR* grab a used master clock and feed that clock to all your boxes. Once you have all digital boxes in sync, the pops will go away.

I also took the Y cable off the system and connected the 888/24 to the mix core and the Adat bridge to the DSP farm and getting extra Reverb One. Am i right in saying that the Y cable in Place is lowering the DSP even if only A is used. Anyway Thanks for your help Great stuff Martin |

Re: Clicks and pops when trying to record.
No. The purpose of a Y-cable is to feed 16 i/o to a MIX card. A MIX card can handle 16 i/o but not all cables can feed that much. So it's just a workaround.
The cable used with 1622 is a 16 channel one, but the other ones can only carry 8 channels. So, combine two 8 channel cables and your MIX card is happy to see all 16 i/o that it can handle. There is no other magic.
