Re: Octopre dynamic
Yes! And a good reminder that you need to pay attention to clocking if you have more than two boxes.

Re: Octopre dynamic
Lots of good info here. So I tried connecting both 18i20 and the octopre multiple ways (Both units are under a year old). And no luck. All 16 inputs are getting audio signal through meters and monitors, and pro tools is working in conjunction with the 8 ins on the interface.
But it’s still not receiving the 8 from the octopre. I’m assuming it’s an issue with the Scarlett control or PT I/O’s at this point? I had the octopre along with a saffire pro 40 previously and there were no issues with recording all 16 ins. |

Re: Octopre dynamic
Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 3rd Gen user guide:
https://fael-downloads-prod.focusrit...20Guide_EN.pdf Page 23: ”Using the ADAT connection In addition to the eight analogue inputs, the Scarlett 18i20 has two OPTICAL IN ADAT input ports which can provide an additional eight audio inputs at sample rates up to 96 kHz. Note that the optical input is disabled when sample rates of 176.4/192 kHz are in use. Using a separate 8-channel microphone preamplifier equipped with an ADAT output – such as the Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre – provides a simple and excellent method of expanding the Scarlett 18i20’s input capability. [picture of how to connect this] At 44.1/48 kHz, the Scarlett OctoPre’s ADAT OUT 1-8 port is connected to the Scarlett 18i20 OPTICAL IN port marked 48 – 1-8 with a single TOSLINK optical cable. To synchronise the two devices over ADAT, set the clock source of the Scarlett OctoPre to Internal and that of the Scarlett 18i20 (via Focusrite Control) to ADAT. Alternatively, stable clock synchronisation may be achieved by connecting the Scarlett 18i20’s WORD CLOCK OUT to the Scarlett OctoPre’s WORD CLOCK IN and setting the Scarlett OctoPre to use Word Clock as its clock source. In this case, set the Scarlett 18i20’s clock source in Focusrite Control to Internal. TIP: When interconnecting two digital devices by any method, always ensure that both are set to the same sample rate. The additional inputs realised by use of the ADAT port may be routed using Focusrite Control in exactly the same manner as the other inputs. The additional inputs can form part of any musician’s headphone mix, as required.” Presumably, as this isn’t working for you, you a) either have the wrong connections (read page 23 of the User Manual and look at the referred picture for the correct connections) and/or b) the IO Setup in Pro Tools is configured wrong (make sure the 18i20 is selected as your Playback Engine and then, as mentioned before, click the Default button on the Input tab in the IO Setup to clear your current config that isn’t working and make it right for the 18i20). |

* If not, the issue is between the Scarlett and the Octopre, so you should check clocking configuration, cables, Scarlett settings * If yes, the issue is between Scarlett and Pro Tools, most likely the I/O setup.

Re: Octopre dynamic
Reliable and dependable are however two slightly different things. ADAT in office conditions may have even been reliable, but have you ever recorded outdoor gig? Gosh, what a nightmare...
