Bigtoe, are you sure ? Play a song, turn volume all the way down in headphones and you hear nothing ?

HI George Ware, or anyone else out there that's already tried this.

What did you have to do, hardware/software wise, to get the C8 functioning with your Mix system ?
Are you using PT 6.4 ?
Can you list your entire set-up & OS/softawre versions ?
I have a MIX++ system on a G4/933/OSX 10.3.3/PT 6.2.2.
From Digs info on PT 6.4.1 for Mix hardware, it looks like that's what us MIX users will have to wait
for before we can "officially" make use of the C8.

Thanks for any insight.

Hi!
No "bleed" here either.

Eagle: Command8 comes with 6.4 TDM and LE.
Digi did announce a Mix specific, final build sometime soon.
Current 6.4 should be fine tho.

What kind of headphones are you both using? That could be the difference - one set might be more sensitive than the other, resulting in "bleed" or "no bleed".

using AKG 271. Also in main monitor control section, I can clearly hear audio with volume turned all the way down in my Genelecs. I guess it's time to call Digi again

Headphones are Sony MDR-V600's. Tried it also with cheapie walkman headphones just to check---No bleed.

Can anyone with a Command 8 run the following test. Insert the Tone generator plug on a channel. Now listen in both headphones and through the main control section at what dB level does the tone dissapear. Do you hear it at 0 dB ? Lower it until it dissapears. Thanks.

Hi. I did this test. The tone disappeared completely for me around -45dB on the fader and there is no sound at all with the levels down at 0. In fact, the sound disappears between 0 and the first notch on the level controls.

how is the quality of the monitor I/O? i run my mixes out of the Apogee Mini-DAC; will the quality of my outgoing signal chain be compromised by inserting the Command 8 in it?
