Does PT 8 support legacy interfaces?

[sammyfarr]

I just installed PT8 on a rig with an Apogee ad-8000se interface attached to the legacy port on the 192i/0. it all works fine in PT7 but PT8 cant see the interface at all.

Have we really lost support for all these old interfaces? or is it a bug, or am i just missing something??

Thanks

I think it now requires that the legacy interface be turned on after PT is booted
or was it after the computer booted

If you look around the PT8 compatibility doc you will find this info

Thanks for the quick reply dude - i couldn't find any info in any documents and after about half an hour of searching i quit and tried both your theories. but no luck... can anyone explain exactly how to do this?

Cheers

Run Digi test and see if the Apogee is showing as connected to the 192! also see if the 192 needs a firmware update, as Digi test will tell you which firmware is on the 192 and enable you to update if needed.

Boot mac, power up AD8000, run tools or

I have an 8000se & it works fine with PT 8. I didn't have to do anything different. Not sure how you've had your system set up, but PT has never actually been able to 'see' these devices. You need to click on the legacy button & then choose the 888 interface. PT then 'talks' to the apogee as tho it were an 888. If you haven't changed your connections from PT 7, it should work as it ought to. Hope that helps.....

i cant get my ad8000se to play without a bunch of noise, its all distorted. how do you fix this?

I had that noise problem with my AD8000. It was a sync issue. As you are using the Sync I/O as the master clock check the front panel of the AD8000 and make sure your sync source is set to wordclock.

got it working, had to flip some of the dip switches on the digi cards
