DIGIDESIGN 888/24 Meters

[worldsend]

Hello.

After upgrading to PT 5.1.1 (on PowerMac 9600/300 running OS 9.1) i experienced that the meters on my 888/24 interfaces do not show their input level but in PT the signal is arriving when a corresponding track is record enabled. Does anyone have a clue what is wrong?

Thanks.

those are output meters and not input meters.

you mean to tell me that you can set these up as input meters? I dont think so.

Thank you for your answer. I did not say that i think i can switch them to input-meters. i am kinda sure that before upgrading they showed me the input. but maybe i am wrong...

Input metering was changed in Pro Tools at version 5.3 -- in 5.1.1 a record armed track would always meter input.. in 5.3 it was 'fixed' to act like a regular tape recorder.. metering only switches to INPUT when the track is in INPUT.

hi rail.

the problem is when i am arming a track which input comes from interface #2 (lets say input 6) there is no metering!? or did i misunderstand you? if so : sorry.

bye.

Metering on the 888 will only meter the outputs... and if memory serves, it's always been that way.

I didnt mean to sound like a smart ass. it was supposed to read as "I didn't think so" cause i would LOVE to have input meters on the interface itself.

Rail is always right so that sucks, i was hoping I could switch em.

Hi Rail.

Thanks for your words. I guess my imagination somehow tricked me on that. i recorded some 'funkadelic jazzhop' (the band called it that way) and all worked really fine so i guess everythings alright witht the interfaces.

Until then.
