A thought....use an E-bow to "oscillate" the string (not strings) to generate a constant signal. Personally I think
the frequency range is too great ( low E to high E) to try to "tune" a pickup. ...

Got rid of the Focusrite. Good riddance, a lot of wasted time. Got another UMC1820. Set up and running in 3 minutes. Ran for 4 hours at 2X64 and no dropped buffers.

With further testing it works fine in SAC64. A little flaky but 0 buffers dropped at 2x64. SAC32 is another story. Stripped and generic
setup still no go. I have 2 UMC1820's coming so I'll go...

Is anyone using a Focusrite 18i20 with SAC or SAWStudio? I bought one of these and can't get it to work without glitching. Wasted 8 -10
hours with different configurations and still no go. ...

Everything is working great now, 2X64 stable, even about 2-3% lower cpu usage, so I'm going to leave it for now. After the gig I may try going back to
"non-compatible/original" mode. But I'm...

OK I figured this one out!! Both programs have to have the compatibilty set to XP SP2. Once this is done then all is fine.
Back up and running. Thanks

Ok this is getting stranger ever second. The backup computer with SAC 4.5 and SS 5.7 works fine. I copied the entire folders to an ext SSD.
Then copied the folders to the original computer after...

I know that 32 and 64 bit aren't "compatible" That's not the problem, I didn't update the 64 bit versions, just the 32 bit. Rebooted, reloaded, redid the preferences,
Even loaded them both 4.6...

Ok I'm in panic mode. Updated to 5.8 and 4.6. Did the 64 bit also. Before with 5.7 and 4.5 I could link SAC and SS. Now when I go to activate SAC
link it is greyed out and there is no "import"...

Same here. Spent hours going back and forth on different "solutions" Nothing. Funny that all the outputs work in FOH main but not on any of the Monitor outputs.

Update to previous post.
Ok this is strange. I run the mains on 1/2 and the sub on 7/8 of the Profire. Side by side on the Out 1 and Out 2 of the FOH-Main and assigned to 1 and 2 of the output...

I have the same problem but figured it was another "operator error" thing that I would have to track down. Tried several different setups from scratch and imported
others and still no monitor...

Same in 4.4 but I thiink it was when I set "CPU blocking". It is an older Core 2 Duo 2.8 G CPU and I've confirmed on 2 cloned units that setting that will
cause the lock up consistently. I use...

I know this is probably not possible due to the programs being "self contained" but since updating SAC (32 bit) to 4.5 and installing SAC64 on the laptop
SAC (32bit) now crashes when scrolling the...

I have bought and refurbished probably 35-40 Lenovo laptops generally W500/ W700 for resale to "studios"/ bedroom recorders / etc.
I just sold one last week with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 10 for $300...

One thing you might want to consider is "service" Things do break and having local service goes a long way. I won't/can't work on Bose because they will not sell me parts or give me service...

Duh! Thanks

How do I set SAC to change the level of an input on the mains and a monitor send with just one slider?
Need to bring the level of a CD deck down in the mains and monitor at the same time.

I have built / sold / used / firewire based systems for 5-7 years now. Yes its dated, but the systems I have built after considerable trials and tests are all still in service
and are giving the...

I've seen the same "problem" on all the Lenovo laptop systems I have built. Firewire? But I got used to opening SAC then shutting down and opening again, after that seldom any slipped buffers. ...

Apparently Line 6 hasn't "blocked" the 48 volt phantom power in any manner. I see this problem when DJ's plug their phone in to a 3.5 mini to XLR without interfacing it or using a device (DI box /...

Been using and selling the W500's for 2 years. Trying to find a 3 gig CPU unit or a W700. I buy all the W500's I can find and have 6 in stock now. Tweak the 2.8 gig unit with a SSD and 8 G DDR3L...

Same here. Win 7 Pro 64bit. I had cloned the drives on 3 W500 Lenovo laptops. It happened on 2 of them. After resaving the new preference and mix files I had to replace them on the affected unit. ...

I've been buying all the Lenovo W500's I can get. I have sold 6 of these to studios. The ones I get are W500 2.8 G C2D load up 8 G DDR3L RAM and 240-480 G SSD
1920x1200 HD resolution. There is...

This is similar to what I just experienced! All of a sudden my edl's were corrupted when I tried to open SS and link to SAC. Same settings that were described! Had to pull up an old edl and modify...
