Ok good questions and answers, but I would like to know the big potential or maybe limitation of MADI.
So it would be very kind if you could also answer these questions, many thanks.
1. But could you route i.e. ADAT IN 1..8 -> UFX+1 -> MADI 1..8 -> UFX+2 -> Analog 1..8 ?
2. I also thought about it whether I could use MADI channels between the 2 UFX+ that I have
for my "Guitar Rig" setup instead of ADAT to reduce the amount of cables.
So could I wire: UFX+1 -> XTC -> XTC -> UFX+2 ?
3. Then both UFX+ would be on a bus where i.e. XTC are connected to.
Lets assume a Mic signal is there from XTC1 Channel 1.
Could I theoretically record it via UFX+1 and via UFX+2 on the other hand ?
4. How is it with latency compensation ? Does the automatic compensation also work for the 2nd UFX+ ?
Between UFX+1 and the 2 XTCs there is automatic latency compensation configured.
Or is it with 2 recording interfaces on the same bus eventually required to configure it manually.
Is compensation then active also for signals that I send i.e. from the 2nd UFX+ ?
5. Would / could this be a proper way to record signal from up to 8 XTCs on the MADI bus
from each of the 2 UFX+ if they are connected to 2 different computers ?
Kind of "Durec flavour" for safetiness in a different way
by recording XTC channels with 2 different UFX+ / PCs ?
6. Variant of question 5.
You have a studio with 4 recording rooms (2 XTCs per room)
2 recording engineers: one with a Windows PC and one with an Apple computer, each PC has an UFX+ connected
You connect all PCs and XTCs to a ring with MADI
CR= Control Room
RR= Recording Room
CR1................RR1.................RR2................RR3..................RR4.................CR2
UFX+1------>XTC1->XTC2----->XTC3->XTC4----->XTC5->XTC6----->XTC7->XTC8------->UFX+2
(PC)+____________________(UFX+ to UFX+ closes the ring)__________________(Apple)
Would such a setup work, that you can share i.e preamps between 2 different Recording PCs ?
I hope that I have then fully understood MADI besides other areas like MADI routers and routing
