Can't Hear Hardware insert- Please Help! IO Pics and Video inside

I have done what that guy had said have said and I have signal going to the SPX 990 Hardware and returning to Input 7/8 on the Quantum.

See Video here

But I can't hear anything and nothing is coming out of the Main outs when I select the insert.









Have I missed something?

I'm new to pro tools so i maybe missing something obvious?

I´d say double check the patching (hardware patching)...the cables that go from the spx to the interface...

I have checked that I'm getting signal but no sound see video

[Emi]

Yeah, I see it. Try to default everything in I/O menu, maybe there´s a wrong named path....

I think I spot it. Try patching this:

So presonus ouptuts 5/6 - SPX990 - presonus inputs 7/8

yeah its patched like that...I get signal to the hardware FX and back but I get nothing on the main outs when the Insert is engaged.

When I disable the insert I get sound on the main outs.

As I said in my post…

Yes You have missed that your I/O offset , is set up backwards from what the "the guy suggested "

He shows his Input as 3-4 and his Output 5-6 . In other words it is his Output that is offset and increased by 1 set of numbers .... You are showing your Input as the offset set increased by one set of numbers

Just for kicks, have you tried going to the IN 5/6 on the Presonus? Leaving PT settings as is, just changing the output cable of the SPX to the input 5/6.

Besides that I'm confused by the relabeling and moving of the output assignments. The left row is just the local names of the outputs, the top column headers are the outputs PT sees. So 1 & 2 are assigned "Main Out" on the Quantum leaving 3&4 as the physical line out 1-2 correct? Yet you have it named "Line Out 3-4". Presumably so it matches the PT number but that won't match up with the hardware output and it shorts you a pair of outputs with nothing assigned (9 & 10 which should correspond to the physical line out 7-8).

It's not really a PT problem per se, Presonus gave 10 line outputs and only numbered 8 of them.

Given I do not have a Presonus interface I am just (assuming) based on what the replies in the Presonus Forum (that the OP linked) and what the screenshots from that forum are showing .

But first I am guessing the OP did not relabel or move the outputs I am assuming that is how the Quantum outputs show by default (given the screen shots from the "guy" from the Presouns forum shows exactly the same Outputs configuration--see screen shots below

As I said I think the only issue is that the OP has reversed the PT I/O setup compared to what (and how) the guy in the Presonus forum is showing as the way to compensate for the Output offset. (in the PT I/O setup)

That is the OP has his Input as 7-8 and the Output as 5-6 and it should be reversed with his Input as 5-6 and his Output as 7-8 as per the screen shots below ( which are the Inputs are 3-4 and 5-6 BUT the relative offset for the Outputs are one number set higher )

According to these shots Inputs are 3-4 and 5-6 ,,, And the Outputs offsets are one set higher to 5-6 and 7-8 where the OP has his reversed from that
