UniWire Audio Sync: How About Locked to ADAT I/O?

[Arys Chien]

I just tried out the UniWire feature. Everything looks great except for the audio sync problem.

If set to Internal, there's gonna be dropout all the time. The bad thing is that I don't have any spare SPdif I/O on my RME Digiface.

I planned to connect the Receptor to the RME Digiface via ADAT Optical, but there is not a "lock to ADAT" option yet.

Will it be there when the UniWire plug-in is officially released?

If you use the RME Digiface, you may not need to turn on the Receptor audio and MIDI card. Are you using the inputs and outputs of Receptor? If you do not use them, you can disable the Receptor audio card and you will not need to sync to S/PDIF

Thanks, Dan. I forgot that there is an option to turn off Receptor's own Audio and MIDI I/O. It works great now. No dropout at all.

I'll have to use Receptor's audio I/O on stage, however. But I guess I won't use the UniWire feature on stage anyway, so it should be fine.

If you are sending MIDI from your sequencer over UniWire and use the Receptor audio card as your output, you won't get audio dropouts either. The dropouts would happen when the audio goes from receptor to your computer, but you don't care of that if you are using just the Receptor outputs.

You can also set the UniWire plug-in in MIDI only mode if you don't care about the audio coming back.

Thanks Dan. I just found that when I listened to the Receptor's phone out. It's dropout free all the time.
