888/16/ 24 problem

[CFS]

So i loaded in 24 tracks off a 2 inch using for tracks 1-8 and AD8000 Se an 888/24 9-16 and 17-24 888/16 When I played back the files all the ones loaded through it sounded like they had the lowfi plugin on with lots of digital glitches any ideas?

Going to PT via 888/16 you have to dither to 16 bit thus avoiding truncation.
Set dither plug-in on 8 aux inputs & rote them to disk tracks. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

-Trash the DigiSetup File. Empty the Trash and restart the Mac. Reconfigure the hardware settings when you re-launch.

-Reseat the 888 I/O interface cable at both ends.

-Make sure you have a Slave Clock chain connecting all interfaces.

If problems persist:
-Swap Interface positions (trash DigiSetup each time you make a change) and see if the problem follows the interface or is specific to the card.

Actually, no - that would be with an 888/24 if you are recording 16 bit.

Hey CFS:

Why not use the AD 8000 or the 888/24 and make 3 passes with Pro Tools online and slaved to time code.

I do that all the time with my 16 tracks of DA-88 and one 888/24.

Sounds like it could be a clocking problem to me, Although the 888/16 is not going to sound as good as the Apogee or the 888/24 it should not have clicks and pops and not sound that bad.

Make sure that you have a super clock cable going from the Apogee to the 888/24 and another going from the 888/24 to the 888/16.

Also, make sure that each of these BNC cables is UNDER 5 or 6 feet in length. If you use longer cables you will more than likely hear problems.
