DB-25 Inputs Question
Forgive me if this is a foolish question, but should I be able to simply connect my 500 rack (Rupert Neve Designs R6) directly to Carbon via DB-25 to DB-25 connection? Or does it have to be a breakout cable coming from 500 rack into each channel on Carbon individually?

Re: DB-25 Inputs Question
Ahh I see that must be my issue. Assuming there is nothing in hardware setup within PT that could be stopping the proper signal flow? I've tried bypassing the preamp.

As Kyle noted as long as the DB 25 connectors are wired in the Tascam Analog connectors pinout it works great https://tascam.com/content/downloads...-25_Pinout.pdf I run both my Bricasti M7 reverb unit and my IGS Tubcore compressor through the DB 25's on the Carbon as Hardware inserts in PT just fine

If you don't see metering on those line inputs with the requirements above configured correctly, then it's likely a cabling issue.

Re: DB-25 Inputs Question
In case both of the devices are not TASCAM type and you do not want to use breakout cables, contact proaudiola.com and ask them to make you a custom cable where one end is TASCAM and another end is something else. They will hand-solder it for you and mark both ends nicely so you do not get confused which end goes where. They are very good, quality is as good as I would do myself but just so much easier.

Re: DB-25 Inputs Question
Just read a SOS review of the OP's Neve R6. 500 rack (nice well thought out unit BTW)
The R6 has TASCAM DB 25 connectors so The OP should be good to go

Re: DB-25 Inputs Question
Sorry, didn't have time for that. If both ends are TASCAM then just straight wired DB25-DB25 should do it. If not, some qualified company or individual can solder it accordingly, and it would still look like a normal DB25-DB25 cable (just like a crossover ethernet cable looks like a normal ethernet cable).
