Default AVID PRE + HD Native

Hi,


we have a HD Native System with ProTools Ultimate 2019.5


It is connected to a 192 Digital Interface.


Seperate we also have an old AVID PRE.


We were wondering if there is a possibilty to integrate the AVID PRE in the system?


Kind regards
Michael

Just grab a cheap MIDI interface to connect/control -- then you also need AD conversion between preamp and your 192 digital

For clarification I believe J means

You need one of these to control the Avid pre from the Pt mixer

Digidesign midi i/0 https://reverb.com/item/19236863-dig...m_medium=share

Then you will need any type of A/D converter, b/c your 192 is Digital only....

So something along the lines of this but not limited to this

I believe that clarifies what J mentioned.

Yes. But if the single PRE is the only MIDI device you need to control, just something very simple like this will be enough to control it

If you want to keep using the 192 Digital and have the Digilink capacity then just pick up another 192 analog they are cheap and easier than messing around with extra ADAT boxes etc. If you don't need to digital capacity in the current 192 box then you may be able to swap cards to get the analog inputs you want.

As far as I remember, the 192digital does not have enough power for the analog cards

It does. It just can't support a full configuration (16x16.)

This is Avid's note on it:
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/faq/en319863

We used to run a few digital with analog cards for years with no issue so there's some fear mongering in that note (but also, all our 192s were in a cooled machine room)

Ha, I could not remember the analog board rules, so I was being a bit hand wavey with my answer
