Topic: SYNCING PROBLEMS, UFX, OCTAMIC II, Any external pre, BNC ADAT
Hi,
I'm a huge RME fan and my UFX has treated me very well up until recently. I have used an ART Tubeopto 8 synced through ADAT for about a year with no problems, but when I added a second unit synced through the second ADAT port it became intermittent. The light will be solid for maybe 30 seconds, then flash 3 or 4 times. I also tried syncing through BNC with the same problem. I just bought the Octamic II and I'm having the same problems. The light is solid for quite a while but will still flash occasionally. Just timed it, about every three minutes. I paid a lot of money for this stuff and I need to know why it's not working properly.
I doubt this will have anything to do with it, but is it important to engage the blue wordlclock termination button on the UFX? I assume this is only necessary if the UFX is slaving to something else, and is last in line. I do have the termination engaged on the octamic.
In Fireface settings I'm on version 3.14 and I'm using FW. Please help, I have a large recording tomorrow and I really want to sort this out.
