SC48/LE firewire rookie questions
Is there a way to monitor tracks from the laptop being used to run ProTools, instead of the console, in an SC48/LE set-up with an external HDD and a Mac Book Pro?
Can the Fwx be used as an input from a mixer that has firewire outputs? Will channels 1 and 2 work like it does with iTunes? If so, how will that affect the ProTools? Will it simply drop to 16 available tracks? At FOH we frequently have a producer doing track playbacks from multiple laptops during corporate shows via a sub-mix. At our last show It has become obvious that the old Mackie mixer just isn't cutting it anymore. We were thinking something along the lines of the Mackie Onyx. Of course if anyone has a better solution where we can remain 100% digital that would rock! The IOx Card would really fit the bill but if I am reading things right it will not work on the SC48? Loving the SC48's! All the old analog gear (which cost 10 times as much) is now collecting dust! Thanks! |

One more question while I am at it. Can anyone recommend a good way to extend the cable length of the firewire to around 25'?

We have a 50ft. firewire cable, so I'd imagine they make 25ft. as well... Not sure where we got it though... Certainly they're readily available... |

Re: SC48/LE firewire rookie questions
I use firewire channels 1 and 2 to send a mono mix and the measurement mic to Spectrafoo, and use 17 and 18 to send the L/R mix to Logic. Logic sometimes defaults to 44.1 and I need to change it to 48, but there are no tricks or odd settings, as far as I can tell.
