Re: ADI-2 Remote V 2.0 – we can't stop!

Enjoying using this!  Thank you!

Perhaps this is worth noting... updated to Beta 4 and currently using with my ADI-2 DAC FS.  Under "Volume Options" the Line Out references "RCA". 

I am not using the RCA output... I'm using the XLR output.  Perhaps it should be precise about which particular line output it is referencing?  If it cannot differentiate between XLR and RCA being plugged in / ouput, perhaps it should not reference either output there, and just left as "Line Out".  Screenshots above appear that show that is how the ADI-2/4 Pro SE does it.

Thank you.

Re: ADI-2 Remote V 2.0 – we can't stop!

The DAC display shows RCA levels and RCA RefLevels (see manual). XLR is always +6 dB higher. So the indication in the app is correct and helpful, as you have to enter the Limit in dBu, based on the RCA output level.

Re: ADI-2 Remote V 2.0 – we can't stop!

I have an issue when using a PEQ combined with Bass/ treble controls. I get double bass on my PEQ profiles. Previously when I disable the PEQ on the physical remote control the B/T bands should disable at the same time. Maybe I'm missing something but I didn't touch anything since installing the remote app, other than renaming a couple of profiles.

For example, I can clearly see the PEQ being greyed out when disabled, but I can still adjust bass and treble even though those bands should be disabled.

Re: ADI-2 Remote V 2.0 – we can't stop!

The option is right in front of you: Bass  / Treble - Enable. That is independent from EQ. Always was.

If you want to disable B/T automatically with the EQ then use the next option, Load with EQ.

Re: ADI-2 Remote V 2.0 – we can't stop!

I would LOVE to have a way to route USB to the digital out pre-fader. I have a TC Electronic Clarity M production meter and do a lot of remote session work using SourceConnect, a system allowing high-quality low-latency broadcast audio sessions over the internet.  Since I'm usually producing on my end, I monitor via USB into my ADI-2 Pro to Genelec 8330 monitors.  Since this is for broadcast, I need to confirm levels follow broadcast rules and the TC allows that, but the ONLY way I can get SPDIF to the TC is post fader. 

Is there any other way to do this in Remote?

It works like that when in stereo mode. You seem to use multichannel mode. Can't switch?

Thanks for the reply. I tried that but it seems like B/T is on regardless if I enable load with EQ or not. With an older firmware (I believe it was v.52) B/T used to disable at the same time when I disable the EQ preset. But I guess it's supposed to be this way, so I just have to remember to disable B/T.

Also the remote app is fantastic. MUCH easier to navigate and edit EQ's.

Re: ADI-2 Remote V 2.0 – we can't stop!

You use which ADI-2 exactly? And are you sure you are on the right page when switching this option? I tried with 2 units and it worked. With 'Load with EQ active' every time one switches PEQ off the slider B/T Enable automatically moves to the left and is greyed out (-> B/T incative).

Re: ADI-2 Remote V 2.0 – we can't stop!

Hello to all forum participants,

Thank you for this impressive software addition to the ADI-2 Series hardware. I am a brand new home user of the ADI-2/4 Pro SE model and have just started my learning journey with software / firmware updates. Luckily, I was able to run ADI-2 Remote v2.0 (Beta 4) on HD 4600 integrated graphics and Win 10.

After reading this thread, I had the first question that confused me. I plan to use a Pentaconn balanced headphone connection and have read about the extreme output level of the ADI-2/4 Pro SE amplifier. I liked the settings for limiting levels and speed of volume rise in this software. But on the other hand, I saw the caveat that this would not affect the physical control knobs of the device.

Can you please tell me what is the safest and most permanent way I can use to limit the maximum volume level of a headphone amplifier with a balanced connection?

Re: ADI-2 Remote V 2.0 – we can't stop!

Stay in IEM or Low Power mode by disabling AutoRef (off is default) for the output Ph3/4. That is more than enough.

Re: ADI-2 Remote V 2.0 – we can't stop!

Version 2.0 release is now available via the updated links in the first post, or directly from our website.

Latest changes:

- file names from Preset names no longer use invalid symbols (replaced by a dot)

- loading a setup file via menu could cause the EQ name to change to Temp, depending on the current and stored 'Load with EQ' state

Thanks for all the valuable feedback. We now pause this project for some other, important taks, then will come back with version 3.0!

It's not an option, it is a separate program. TotalMix is not available for the ADI-2 DAC, Pro and 2/4 Pro units. But you can use DigiCheck NG together with ADI-2 Remote: https://forum.rme-audio.de/viewtopic.php?id=37403 .

Right, it took me a while to remember... just shut down the Mac as it's a little easier than getting behind everything and unplugging.  Already tested and it works GREAT!!  I think I'll just keep it in Stereo mode for what I do at home, even vinyl transfers.  Thanks again!!

ADI-2 DAC fs. I'm sure I'm on the right page. The B/T slider remain enabled when switching PEQ off.

Lieber Matthias,

die Software ist der Wahnsinn und eine echter Mehrwert zur perfekten Hardware (ADI-2 Pro User hier ☺️).

Ich hätte noch einen Herzenswunsch dafür: Kannst du dir eine Desktop-Widget-Unterstützung für macOS vorstellen?
Es wäre so genial, via Widget schnell zwischen den Ausgabemodi oder EQ-Presets wechseln zu können.

Man merkt wirklich bei dir, wie du mit vollem Herzblut bei der Sache bist und das ist wirklich schön mitzuerleben ☺️
Macht weiter so mit der tollen Arbeit!

Re: ADI-2 Remote V 2.0 – we can't stop!

Thank you, RME, for you hard work on this. The remote software has added so much value to your products.

I wanted to point out a possible visual bug (unless I am missing something). This is regarding the ADI-2 Pro FS R. In the PEQ window of PH 34, the bass and treble shelves are reflected in the graph, but in PH 12, this seems to not be the case. The shelves are audibly functioning, but they aren't included on the PH 12 graph. Not a big deal. Just wanted to report.

Re: ADI-2 Remote V 2.0 – we can't stop!

You're not missing something. Ph 1/2 is quite complicated to handle in software, as this one does not exist in the unit. We have come a long way to add Ph 1/2 as 'virtual' page to the Remote, so I am optimistic that at a later time we can add B/T to the plot curve.

Re: ADI-2 Remote V 2.0 – we can't stop!

Cool development. I for one do not underestimate the amount of work to make this happen. Thank you.

1. I use the USB port to stream from Volumio on RPI4. Is it possible to connect from my Windows laptop or Android phone conncurently with music playing?  Maybe a USB hub?
2. Long term, a USB-Bluetooth or wifi adapter would enable convenient access.

Cheers!

Very impressed with the pace at which you guys are creating new features and debugging the software / firmware. I was convinced that the ADI-2/4 Pro SE was the right choice as the centerpiece of my audio system. Almost real-time user support is what sold me on this deal.

P.S. It's time to release the RME Update Center. With so many software updates and firmware / driver updates, even with just one device in the system, it’s already difficult to keep track of all the changes.

Re: ADI-2 Remote V 2.0 – we can't stop!

Updated firmwares now complement the ADI-2 Remote 2.1 into a final state:

ADI-2 Pro to DSP 128, 2/4 Pro to 40: Analog Input screen showed Loopback only after graphic refresh.

DAC to DSP 62: since v56 'Load with EQ' no longer controlled the B/T function.

Any plans to add a "minimize to system tray" functionality? Ideally, one where:

1. When left clicking system tray icon, pops up a thin menu that lets you adjust main volume, or
2. Shows you a full, floating AD-2 Remote menu, snapped to the lower right of the screen.

System Requirements
The app uses the same graphics engine as DigiCheck NG, so the same system requirements apply: Windows 10 or higher, and a graphics card that supports Direct3D 12. This might exclude some older computers, even when running Windows 10, for example with Intel integrated graphics HD4600 and HD4000.

Be aware of automatic Windows updates, which may replace your current graphics card driver.

I just checked all the Win 10 drivers for the HD4600 graphics card and found this article from Intel itself explaining the reasons for the changes https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en … phics.html, and this is a link to the latest available DirectX 12 driver for this graphics card, which I have confirmed works fine with the ADI-2 Remote and DIGICheck NG:https://downloadmirror.intel.com/28662/ … 2.5063.exe.

I hope this helps some guys who don't have the latest computer in their music studios with the challenges of modern software.
