Topic: FF800 Playback issues

Hey Guys,

I use a fireface 800 with Logic. For years, never a problem. Recently, I hooked it up with multiface 1 for 8 more in/outs to use for inserting hardware during mixes. Everything was easy sneezy. First couple of routing inserts worked like a charm.  Here is where the problem starts.

Last night I started a new session, imported a l & R stereo mix. opened up another track to work on vocal ideas. Keep in mind while recording everything is perfect. No Latency at all. Then when I listen back the vocal is way off from what I did. If I start the song in playback from the very beginning "0000" everything is perfect again. At any point if I stop and start the song again without going back to the beginning it's way off again.

I unhooked the multiface, restarted computer and Fireface and the same problem occurs. I didn't change anything on the Fireface except the adat sync lock to multi face.

Not sure what changed but I just can't get things back to normal.

Does this sound familiar to anyone, am I missing a step to reset the Fireface to normal single use.

What could be wrong?

Are we talking Mac and Aggregated devices? Seems you forgot to slave the MF to the FF 800 via word clock.
