PT5.01 shows 1622 interface with 16 Outputs?

[Samhein]

Digi,

We have one 888 connected to a Mix Core, and a 1622 connected to the Mix Farm card.

Under the I/O Labels, I'm only able to set the Input labels for the 1622. There doesn't seem to be a way to label the two outputs of the 1622.

Also, the both the mix & edit windows show 16 outputs for the 1622.

What's happening?

Anyone else having this problem?

Pro Tools 5.0 (and I think 5.0.1 as well) has problems properly recognizing the 1622 I/O due to the fact that it has a differeing numbers of inputs and outputs. The only workaround is to rename the invalid outputs of the 1622 I/O with a "-" or something similar so you don't confuse yourself in the middle of a session. Although I am not positive, this problem should be resolved in PT 5.1.

Brent,

That's the problem. Unless you know of a way to separately name the Inputs and Output labels of the 1622.

At the moment, that's not possible.

At this time (it will change with 5.1) you cannot seperately label the inputs or outputs of ANY type of interface connected to a non-core card.

So anything you have on a farm will not serpate the ins and outs out for naming purposes. I have a similar setup at home and I found it more desireable to put the 1622 up top and the 888 down on the farm for this reason. You still won't be able to seperately name the ins/outs of the farm-mounted 888 but at least you won't get confused by having named outputs in your pop-ups that don't have corresponding hardware on your interface.

It's a limitation of all 3.x, 4.x and 5.0.x versions of Pro Tools.
