However assuming JR was using a consumer amp, we have a potential problem which could well account for the sub par sound quality.
DBX DRIVERACK 260 SERIAL CABLE PRO
If it was a pro amp, then my comments don't apply. Jerry_rig said he was using an amp without gain controls, which I assumed to be a consumer amp. And now you've just messed up the a/d and the d/a conversion. Another option would be to turn down your pre amp 14db, but that isn't going to change the s/n ratio as it's fixed in the case of the dbx. Not to mention the reduction in resolution on the d/a conversion. Now you've just reduced your s/n ratio by 14db. To overcome this your only option, sans gain controls on the AMPS, is to use the dbx's digital gain controls. The outputs on the dbx (+4dbu) will overdrive the inputs on a consumer amp (-10dbu). So in the context of JR setup, I'm talking about global gain, not relative gain between individual band passes. jerry_rig said he was using an amp without gain controls, which I assumed to be a consumer amp. I was merely pointing out that your comment was limited in it's scope - it did not acknowledge there is ample gain accommodation, by band pass, available on-board. That should be plenty? I sincerely doubt few systems are so far "out of the ball park" that this would not be enough.

And, there is nothing you can do about the unit "noise" - if you're using that unit, you accept it's offerings.ĭood - I don't have the manual in front of me, but memory serves there is +/-12 dB on each band pass, allowing a 24 dB relative gain differential between band passes. Keep up the awesome work!Īpologies if this is a duplicate topic, I did do a cursory search for it on the forums and didn't see an answer.Obviously it's in the digital domain. Regardless, I am loving the RM and also Studio One 3. Anyone know for sure? I'm sure there is a good reason.

USB 3.0 wasn't as readily available when the RM series was being developed? Is it due to the backwards compatibility with USB 2.0? Maybe you wouldn't want Joe User plugging in his old-ass laptop and not getting the performance that USB 3.0 provides. USB 3.0 tests faster, is more prevalent in the market and blah blah blah.so I am left wondering.Presonus, why Firewire 800? Is there a decent newer touchscreen Windows-based machine that even has an aftermarket option for Firewire 800 connectivity?

It seems like an outdated technology already. I got funny looks and scoffs from the salespeople I talked to along with statements to the effect of "we haven't sold those for a couple of years, I think." Went to my local computer stores to look for a Firewire 800 cable before my RM arrived because I wasn't aware that it shipped with one. At least for now, until the AVB/Dante stuff is sorted out - and even after that, until Windows (insert version here) has native support for either one.

With the Firewire 800 implementation on the RM series, I am pretty much limited to using my Macbook to record off my shiny new RM32AI. (I happen to love as well.I like to have choices!)

I want to say first off that I am not opposed to either platform, Windows or MacOS.
