Pro tools hd 12 software with symphony 64

[janeee]

Hi everybody
I have a problem here. I have 1 card symphony 64 with 2 ports. Port 1 (1-32 channels) and port 2 (33-64 channels). On port 1 i have Symphony IO connected with 2 modules inside (1 module is 16 analog out and 1 module is 8X8 analog). On port 2 i have 1 DA16X and 1 AD16X connected in cascade. Maestro show me the correct number of interfaces and channels. My intention is to use Symphony IO first module 16 analog out for summing (SSL Xrack 16 channels) and DA16X AD16X for hardware inserts. In PT 12HD i can see in IO setup all this inputs and outputs but DA16X AD16X hardware inserts doesn't work at all. NO SIGNAL, NO SOUND. Which would be the problem?.. I tried every possibility….I need help!!! I'm stuck here.

Protools has a max I/O of 32, so maybe it's not seeing the extra inputs the way you have them set up.

Even with HD software, you are still limited to 32 I/O unless you're using HD hardware.

can i use HD Native Pcie with Symphony IO on port 1 and da16x ad16x in cascade mode on port 2?... this will resolve the problem? i should be able to use all inputs and outputs... right?

HD Native Card is 32 I/O per port so the card maxes out at 64 I/O

Ok thnx guys..
My mixing chain looks like this:
- From DA channel 1 to 1176 to channel 1 on SSL xrack
- From DA channel 2 to dbx160x to channel 2 on SSL xrack
- From DA channel 3 to api525 to channel 3 on SSL xrack
- FROM DA channel 4 to CL1B to channel 4 on SSL xrack
... etc so on
After that i send 2 outputs sum from SSL xrack to inputs on SSL Bus compressor xrack version. And the outputs from SSL Bus compressor back to AD inputs converter on 2 channel in PT. I know i can't benefit from automation and a lot of stuff but i want to know if this chain is correct and i miss something. I tried to make hardware inserts but PT HD software support only 32 physical outputs with nonavid HW and i don't have enough outputs for insert and summing in the same time. SO.. this is correct?
