24bit/88.2kHz recording with Roland VM3100 Pro studio package

[Giganova]

hi --
I just tried to record a song with 24bit/88.2kHz using my Roland VM3100Pro + RPC-1 sound card and Logic 5.5. In the Logic "Control Settings" I chose 88.2kHz and 24bit sampling/bit rate. The individual wav files for the tracks seem to be fine, so the recording was ok. However, if I try to listen to the entire song, the VM3100 is MUTE (no error message either in the deisplay) and I don't have an output signal on my monitors!

I just read the manuals for the RPC-1 sound card, which supports 24/88.2, but the VM3100Pro manual says "internal processing: 24 bit, 44.1kHz sample rate". Does the VM31000 not support a higher sample rate??? On the box the VM3100 Pro package was shipped it says in big letters "24/96" -- that's why I bought it in the first place!. Am I doing something wrong???

I bought the studio pack about a year ago and I don't recall them advertising any sample rates greater than 48khz. The mixer doesn't support higher than 48khz maybe even just 44.1khz as far as I know.

There is a Studio Pack Pro but that is not the package with the VM3100Pro. It uses a hardware control surface but all the mixing is handled by the software. Maybe you got confused between the two?

Do you have any links to anything where they claim 24/96 for the regular Studio Pack?

well, on the box of the VM3100 Pro is clearly says "24/96". What a joke -- the RPC-1 audio card and the version of Logic that came with the VM3100 support 96kHz, but the audio interface itself doesn't. It seems like I have to stick to 24/44.1 :-(
