Topic: FF800 SPDIF to SSL Nucleus
I ned to connect my SSL Nucleus to my FF800 via SPDIF. the Nucleus has optical SPDIF and I have M-Audio CO2 converter to go from the FF800 coax to the optical SPDIF on my Nucleus. I believe that the SPDIF output on the FF800 is 11 and 12. I am running the coax in/out from the FF800 into the CO2 (which is set for bidirectional) and then take the optical outs to the 2 optical SPDIF connections in the Nucleus.
I have the FF800 master output in ProTools 10 I/O setup to go out through outputs 11 & 12. in TotalMix I can see that output is going out SPDIF but the Nucleus doesn't see it. [sigh] In ProTools I have also setup a Nucleus 1 and 2 bus from the SPDIF inputs. I created a new track, chose that input and connected a mic to that but I don't get any input. I opened the SSL Soundcard App and it says that there is no incoming signal.
yes, I have read the FF800 manual on TotalMix and the Matrix and I thought I understood it, but I must be missing something. I have had my FF800 for many years and I love love it, but sometimes this is a bit obtuse for an old man... I would sincerely appreciate some assistance.
thanx
