Hello,
I change my computer to a new Mac Mini M4, i buy a madi usb to connect with my SSL Alpha link.
I can hear the output port on my DAW, so I have no input in my DAW.
On totalmix i can see the Vu metre on input, i think i have a seeting to change on my SSL Apha link ?
any idea about the setup to have ?
Thx you..
There is no product madi usb. Do you mean perhaps MADIface USB?
Sorry, I do not understand the issue from your description.
Can you please rephrase and post a screenshot of the submix which is not working?
Sorry,
Yes is MADIface usb.
I have no signal input in my DAW, so I have signal ouput working. I think i need to change some setting on my SSL Alpha link AX ?
I have controled on the totalmix soft, i can see the vumetre working on input hardware, so no input sound in my DAW.
any idea about the Alpha link settings ?

What's connected to HW inputs (TM FX, top row) is always passed to the DAW/application.
If you do not see an input signal in the DAW, I pretty much assume, that you already do not see an input signal in TM FX.
Maybe you forgot, that on each MADI device you need to configure routing as well (not only in TM FX) …
You need to configure on the SSL which
- of the MADI channels shall be routed to the outputs of the SSL
- inputs of the SSL shall be routed to MADI channels and which
Besides this, all devices have to be configured to use the same
- MADI frame size, 48 or 96k (the latter if you intend to work with double speed as well)
- number of MADI channels, either 64 (or 56 when pitch is being in use)
MADI ID is not relevant if this is the only device and when you do not need to distinguish several devices in a chain, for example for remote control or delay compensation purposes.
I send my signal to the input, i can see the signal vu meters level in the totalmix, so no signal in my DAW.
I have route the input madiface chanel of my daw track and no signal.
All my device are on 48k and 56 chanels
How to send you a photos about my settings ? Thx

i'm in mode DAW
row 1:
hardware input 1/2 spotify, input 17/18 ouput from my mixboard
row 2:
hardware output 1/2 spotify out
on my SSL Alpha link the seeting are input :Adat, output : Ana, Sample rate : 48k, clock : int
when i go back to my old computer (MacPro) with the PCI 424(SSL) and same setting and cable, everything is ok.
i don't understand where is the trouble
Here the seetin jpg from fire face
do you have alpha link AX or alpha link madi AX?
If it's just an Alpha Link AX, then as far as I know there is no MADI protocol, only ADAT, and MadiFace USB, as far as I know, does not have ADAT.
i have this one:
https://www.univers-sons.com/ssl-alpha- … 57492.html
with madi connection with a pci card on computer.
i have the signal ouput working and not the signal imput.
In your topic title it says alpha link AX, and to work with rme madiface usb, the name "ssl alpha link MADi AX" should be printed on the front of your device, letter by letter, because these are two different alphas, But, if you really have MADI AX, then the input to ssl should be set to madi and not adat as you wrote above. ..And internally when programming ssl, you need to set analog first and not digital, because you have 24i/o analog and there are also digital(adat)24i/o together 48,..that is, which channels from 1-24 and from 25-48 will be first... of course, if you use the first 24 channels in adat, the digital io should be first.
Look at the photos, one of them has a piece of SSL, MADI should light up... and of course, then you need the correct routing in Totalmix.
yep, sorry it was Madi in input.
So in my DAW on input i only have the Madiface usb, no input Analogue and same in Ouput i have Madiface USB and signal is ok.
I can't understand why i have no input signal ?
Have you check my link upper with the jpg from total mix with the input signal working on total mix ?
No, I just saw it now, I thought for some reason that you don't have a signal from ssl to madiface, but you do have a signal, I don't know how TM works in DAW mode, but I know that in this mode all routing is done only in daw DP, I see that 1/2 goes through dawDP and 17/18 doesn't go through because output 17/18 is not selected, but I also don't know digital performer.. But one thing is clear that this is something in the switching inside DP, ssl has nothing to do with it, I understand that you want to see in monitoring or where the signal level is... Maybe the recording is not turned on correctly/correctly, because daw DP passed 1/2 signal to the output as far as I understand,,,
yes i use the DAW mode for have all routing in DAW DP. I don't need total mix, Inside DP all the switch are done, i had selected Rec on input 1/2 or 17/18
and i have no signal input.
Crazy things, i use DP since many years and i did same things like before on my old computer with my SSL madiextreme card.
When i go to Preference systeme and sound icon, in input & ouput madiface usb is selected.
The Madi cable is ok, because when i go back on my old computer with SSl Madiextreme and same cable all is ok.
Hi,
I found the solution very vicious, maybe you need for the futur.
The problem from there :
