Topic: Issues with two hammerfall cards and soundforge

I am running a MADI and an AIO. MADI is master clock via internal synch mini-cable from card to card. AIO is set to synch in.

When I load sound forge 9 and 10 it crashes every single time unless I disable the MADI card from device manager in windows control panel.

I've seen people say they had this issue in the past. Is there an answer for this yet?

Thanks!

Re: Issues with two hammerfall cards and soundforge

Will the software work with only the Madi card active? Have you contacted the software manufacturer? I can only imagine some issue with the channel number presented by the two cards.

Ill try this. Talked to Jeff from syntax and I am going to try and limit the WDM devices for MADI card and see if that helps.

Thanks

So the limiting of WDM devices didnt help the issue. Also I can disable either card and SF will load and work. When I disable the AIO card I see all 64 channels of the madi in SF.

This is really a painful thing for me as I absolutely love SF and I dont want to use wavelab. Although wavelab works fine.

Please check for possible limitations in channel numbers with the software manufacturer. Also shoot me an email and I might have something for you.

Re: Issues with two hammerfall cards and soundforge

I think it might be an issue of channel limitations. I was reading on thier site that it only supports 32 channels of recording so that is the 64 madi channels and nothing more. So with the two cards as one entity I am assuming its over the channnel limitation and disabling one or the other makes it play nice with SF.

Is there a way that I can disable some of the MADI channels via total mix so they wont be detected by the audio engine in SF? I dont even need more then 24 channels out of 64 right now. And in SF I dont need any because I use my AIO ins outs for that. My MADI i/o is stricty for when I record in my DAW.
