I'm sending my kemper to 4 outputs (as shown in kemper's output video) all on unbalanced cable to the line-ins on my behringer ada8200. Then from the behringer to the motu16a via adat.
It works for the most part, but I have been getting digital noise bursts which make recording basically impossible.
Just wondering if others have a similar setup or experience
I saw your post at MOTUnation, Terry, and I'm aware of your plight thanks to our little chat in that other thread about interfaces. God knows what's going on, man.
I'd be tempted to simply take those unbalanced cables directly to the 16A.
I'm beginning to think it's a power issue. I noticed the digital burst across multi drum tracks from a few days back. Those are analog inputs, so outside of crosstalk the adat signal wouldn't affect those.
I've had a couple of 16a reboots recently with a low power indication.
Thanks for your help. It's just draining when you can't get music happening because of some simple hardware/software issue.
Don't I know that scenario ridiculously-well, Terry.
Hopefully you're onto something there. Makes sense, especially as clocking can be a finicky thing.
If it isn't power, then maybe this.....Digital noise bursts sounds to me like something falling out of synch for a moment.
My SPDIF connection into my KPA is a bit flakey and every now and then when I move my KPA I get the same thing as you describe.
I'm sure you've already done this, but maybe check your two optical cables (and your SPDIF if you use it)
I use an ADA8000 into a Safire Pro (and previously a Presonus without issue (other than the flakey SPDIF connection)
Good thoughts, Gizmo.
IIRC, he already looked at the cables; he mentioned it in another thread a week or two ago.
I've been troubleshooting with motu tech help.
I'm now getting the bursts with everything disconnected other than the 16a adats routed from out to in, so basically a self-loop test.
It's looking like I may have to replace the 16a.
You're kidding!
Did they deem it to be a FW problem or perhaps a physical one with the unit, Terry?
I saw your question over at BeerGutz too. Man, here, MOTUnation, BeerGutz, MOTU tech support... it's not like you sat back and waited for this thing to fix itself. Well done for the effort, man, and here's hoping tech support finally nails this for you.
Fingers crossed, mate...
Motu says it's hardware. Unit is being replaced
Well, that sounds like a start at least, Terry.
Fingers crossed, mate.
