Topic: ADI-2 DAC fs - Direct Monitoring
Hello to everyone.
I need to monitor from my ADI-2 DAC fs two adio source at the same time
1. What comes from my PC (via USB)
2. What comes from my Mic Preamp (via Optical Cable).
*it's an ART voice channel equipped with internal AD converter and a digital Optical OUT
my signal chain is as follow:
Microphone into Preamp in > Preamp Optical OUT into ADI-2 DAC fs Optical IN > ADI-2 DAC fs USB into my PC
As you may already guess i can easly monitor one of the two sources by selecting in the i/o session Optical, OR USB source.
But i cant monitor Usb AND Optical at the same time.
In order to hear at the same time my voice thru the mic preamp AND the sound of my PC, i need to be able to monitor USB AND Optical, both AT THE SAME TIME.
I could do this with a cheap Focusrite interface with a simple "direct monitoring" button so I'm quite sure there is a way to do this with such expensive product!
I already tried to do two thing but none could solve my problem completely:
1) Into the i/o section i selected the source "USB (Rec.opt.)" This option activates the full duplex operation with USB.
In this case i solve my problem at Half, Infact i can finally hear optical and usb audio source both at the same time, but only if i open a DAW and create an audio track and press the monitor button.
I want to have this option without opening a DAW
2) i tried to dowload latest Drivers and Firmwares from the website in order to acces to the TotalMix plug in but even if i can see the TotalMix plug in icon at the bottom of my pc windows (applications bar) nothing happends. The plug in doesent open, even if i right click on the icon by clicking the two options avaiable "workspace quick select" and "New total mix window"
Can you help me to solve this issue?
sorry for my bad english. I hope i was clear in my message.
Waiting for your answer. Thanks in advance for your kindness,
