Does lighbridge support more than 18IO with PTMP?

[johansen]

Hello,

I can assign any output of PTMP to any output in lighbridge, and they all seem to work, i mean, all at the same time, all 32ch.

Isn't PTMP supposed to be limited to 18IO???

Can anyone confirm this?

regards





PTMP 7.3.1 + lighbridge + G5quad...

It's very confusing but...yes...PT and Lightbridge do support more than 18IO at the same time! I can record 24 inputs at the same time!!! It's fantastic!

Yup

The other day i routed all ADAT ports outside (Outs to Ins) and everything worked as expected, 32ch out to 32 auxes in!

This is just great!

Just waiting for those freekin adda's to finally use my console!!!

Wait a minute!
Can anyone actually record up to 32 separate inputs to confirm this?
I can set 32 tracks to 32 inputs in my LB and record blank without any warning dialogue!! I can't actually test with hardware as I only have 18 ins but logically this should work as all I/O are available in the I/O setup...
We need to explore this further!

this is exactly why i joined this forum. i have an old soundtracs console that i actually like quite a bit, and i own a ridiculous amount of outboard (fx, compressors, limiters, gates, etc...) that i want to start using without having to send an aux to tape in PT.

so is this really true? can you send at least 24 in with 24 outs? sayyyy with a lightbridge and 3 Alesis AI3's???

Shhhhh!!!!

When I found out it could handled 32/32 over the fibers I nearly burst out crying with joy...

I don't think it's officially supported (Everywhere I read says only 18 i/o), and could just as easily be pulled by Digi in the next release (Please don't guys as this ROCKS!)

I'll be approaching every upgrade with caution. I suspect this is similar to those who ganged together multiple Deltas, it may be an oversight it may not be, but I'm not complaining for now!

[LoZion]

Digi needs to address this.
Whats the official status regarding this issue?

dear friends,

you have to know that having the 32 adat I/O in pro tools M-powered is not supported by digidesign, it is why it's possible with pro tools m-powered 7.3.1, but not anymore with the upgrade CS2.

i've called digidesign about this, they, told me there was a bug in the 7.3.1 version that let you working with 32 i/O, but this bug was "corrected" in the CS2 version.

So if you want to profit of the 32 I/O on pro tools, DO NOT UPGRADE WITH CS2!!!!!!!!!!

[LoZion]

CS2 does allow for 32 i/o.

??? can you explain this??? i have tried it a few days ago and it hasn't worked. the nineteenth track (and others after) didn't go out at playing, and recording was just totaly impossible. i've been obliged to back in 7.3.1.

is there a manipulation to do or something to know?

please tell me more about this
