Mods please let me know if any clues otherwise Ill just have to open a support ticket

I am flashing the devices from different computers... so that rules out the first part of ur answer... a bit clear about what u mean in the latter part... but the changes I flashed have mostly remained accurate except for a few exceptions, namely the pan settings or channel pairing settings, which is making me loose 1 channel as the signal is getting phased & cancelled due to the wrong pan, It gets fixed automatically the moment I connect it to the host computer but then again the same thing after on/off

nothing? MC Administrator? anyone?????

aaaaah, thank you very much, now finally that is a proper answer that I have been waiting for... I am sure that is it!!!

because as it happens the one that gives me the issue is the one im controlling from a new version of total mix where as the other one which works fine uses the old version of total mix from another computer, which I prefer anyway!!

super one dude, thanks again, I will report back with the findings, but I am sure this is the solution!

furthermore its not only the adat outs that do this. I just tried the same thing but this time using analog outs. so I routed all the analog ins to the analog outs 1-2 and connected that to my other soundcard and again it worked perfectly so I flashed the mixer settings, but once I restarted the unit again without the computer, I lost one channel. I even tried panning all ins to center and flashing that but that didn't work either.

how do i check which firmware version I am running? please let me know the procedure for both mac and windows. thanks.

the flash tool says its up to date... its version 1.71... I updated it again just in case... so thats not the issue either.... any other ideas?

Hey, thanks for the reply.... I don't want to exchange units between both systems, and I have my own reasons for that... but this issue is pretty clear, it should work with the settings I flash onto it, as it works perfectly when connected to the computer, I have done everything needed with drivers and firmware so all that is ruled out... its a basic operation which should work simply, its not really that complicated... do let me know if you have any other ideas, I may try exchanging the units at some point, if I do I will report back.

Currently both units are running the same driver version and same firmware version, and the communication between the unit in question and the host computer is working perfectly. The only difference is the unit working properly is connected to a Windows XP system and the one having issues is connected to a OSX Snow Leopard system, is there any history of similar issues relating to OSX specifically?

thanks a lot for all your help, I will report back if I find anything further...

I don't know what u mean by "workspace of the state", please explain that to me I would be happy to do anything that solves this

okay thanks will send it soon

When I download that I get a file without ending called 'Fireface 400 Standalone Config', that is not a TotalMix workspace file.

Both snapshot and workspace files are in XML format, means easily readable text files, not some unreadable garbage. Like this:

---------------------------
<Windows>
    <Frame0>
        <Window>
            <val e="WinPos.left" v="1312"/>
            <val e="WinPos.top" v="0"/>
            <val e="WinPos.right" v="2784"/>
            <val e="WinPos.bottom" v="878"/>
            <val e="ScaleType" v="2"/>
            <val e="FuncType" v="0"/>
        </Window>
        <Cache0>
            <val e="ScrollPosIn" v="0"/>
            <val e="ScrollPosPb" v="0"/>
Etc.
-------------------------------

We do not support the old version anymore. It retired around 2013.

Which doesn't work either, right? So go back to TM FX then you can send me the required file.
