Sorry Matthias yes ADDA mode to Preamp mode is what I mean.
So the ADI is the master clock in my studio. And I work at various sample rates depending on the project - mostly 48, 88.2 and 96. I am in transition where some projects are still 1x rates but my goal is to always start and finish projects at 2x rates.
In my studio ADI feeds control room monitors via analog volume knob and speaker switcher. For tracking and editing ADI is always in ADDA mode. For mixing I use 16 channel analog summing via various outboard gear and the final stereo stream gets recorded back to DAW via ADI in Preamp mode.
Yesterday I was revising a mix with rate 88.2Khz. ADI is in Preamp mode. I have a previous stereo mixdown from my first mix attempt and I wanted to AB previous mix to current revised multitrack mix. To do that I have to switch ADI between Preamp mode and ADDA mode because during mixdown I have no unprocessed audio path to send finished mix to reach control room speakers when in Preamp mode.
At the moment the ADI only has 2 setups to switch between Preamp and ADDA modes. I suppose I could create 6 or 8 setups to do the switching at my 4 most used sample rates and I have thought of that but I had reported previously that I have had difficulty getting the sample rate to save reliably with the setup. Even now when I switch to my ADDA setup sometimes the rate goes to 96Khz and sometimes 192Khz and I never work at 192.
It might be worth mentioning that the ADI sends/ receives digital audio in ADDA mode via light pipe in Adat mode but ADI is always master clock. In both ADDA and preamp modes ADI distributes clock via AES to Fireface UFX (Adat expansion only) and then via word clock to Madiface USB (main interface) and ADI 648. Auto sync in ADI is off.
Is there anything special I have to do to save the sample rate with the setup or is it simply set the rate and then save?
Kind regards
