Default Does anybody have 100% connection with Artist MIX?

Just a general question...does anybody have a 100% CONTINUOUS connection with Artist Mix and their set up....... Or is it just expected to SOMETIMES disconnect, and accepted as the way it is. I can guarantee that at least once a session it will disconnect and nothing brings it back with out a re start...... Not sure who is to blame, AVID, Apple ?? Just would be great and reassuring ( though I would be jealous ) if it does work 100% for some people...I'd like to know how ... Thanks

Default Re: Does anybody have 100% connection with Artist MIX?

The last time we used our 4 Artist Units (2 x Mix 1 Control and 1 Transport) all black Avid branded we had them connected to one of our Trashcans with Sierra and PT 12.8.3 HD and all the units connected to one ethernet hub at 5GHz which is crucial as 2.4GHz or less will have major problems with stable connection.

The internet hub was like 30 bucks and it was a 5GHz and had 4 inputs and important - It was a POWERED HUB which was used for our 4 units.

We had tried a few before this one with only powered via the computer and another was 2.4GHz and both was crap. The hub we ended up having 1000% success with just worked and worked!!!

Had it from OSX 10.8.5 and via. Mavericks, Yosemite, skipped ElCap and went to Sierra and then Mojave but we sold the 4 units to a friend who saw how stable and awesome our setup was working even though he resd that some users had issues were one or all units was dropping out but we helped him install them and made sure he used the correct ethernet cables and set up the Eucon Software correctly and now a year on and they haven’t had one issue at all with the setup we sold him.

So yes if everything’s setup correct and if you have a Powered Hub with 5GHz and a stable ethernet connection there shouldn’t be any drops or other issues.

We had the WiFi OFF on that trashcan as you dont need to be connected to the outside internet to work them, just turn off WiFi as I believe that will make less of a fuss for Eucon to run 100%.

Let me know if you need further info or advice and I am happy to help

I will make sure that is correct and report back... and as you dont use a hub you have one less piece of gear eliminated from the troubleshooting.

Will ping Eddie who developes Eucon at Avid and see what he has for us in terms or troubleshooting. We used our interns for these setups so I might say something wrong and better to have the guy who developes Eucon chime in.

Hang tight

Yeah. Someone else reported problems with Logic and it dropping off. Something they did with a recent update. You should probably alert/complain to Apple.

100%

Artist is wired ethernet. Pro Tools Mac is wired ethernet (as is Dock and iPad). All go to a HP Procurve 1820 network switch.

Pro Tools Mac wireless is never turned on.
