Also as per my note about the interface not playing files on my desktop...how would I check masters? Or listen to comp tracks? This problem renders a high end device from Focusrite useless on the most used OS for creatives. I can't believe they don't know how to fix it.

I'll check. I have multiple audio interfaces for different purposes around my project studio. I'm thinking I'm going to ditch this one.

I was able to re-create the problem again this morning no problem. I connected the Focusrite, had everything sync'd at 44.1. Recorded acoustic guitar to my project at the right pitch and tempo. Rendered the file out (again at 44.1) as a WAV to desktop. Unplug the Focusrite, plays back pitched...

Focusrite support linked to this to explore Why will my Scarlett 18i20 not play or record audio at 96Khz on a Mac? – Focusrite Audio Engineering I'm in shock and awe that I'm on one of their flagship devices...and the thing doesn't play nice with Mac core audio?! It's not my scenerio because I...

I just discovered that if I drag an MP3 file from my iTunes library into Garagband, it plays uptempo and glitched. Wouldn't this point to the problem being in the Mac OS or Garageband?

Thanks for your reply. I'm trying some things that Focusrite support said to do. Related to rendering. But I was using the term export as a synonym. I don't have a dedicated computer for recording. I use the same Macbook Air that I use for work/personal life. But, even with that said, if a file...

Hi Guys, I'm still having trouble with this, and while Focusrite support and you all agree what the problem is...no one can tell me a solution. Again: I record from microphones/line level into a Soundtracs Topaz Project 8 mixer. The stereo outputs from the mixer feed a buss compressor and then...

Can anyone remind me what the default sample rate and bit depth are in Reaper? I had it all working to that, so I'm just going to try and revert. The Burl ADC clock is set to internal. Running SPDIF to Clarrett. So I'll make sure that is set to External. Correct?

I'm pretty sure I didn't hit the slider, but I will double check. I changed sample rate to 44.1 recently, because I'm using a new high quality ADC. So that sound like the culprit. I googled beforehand though what the default sample rate in GarageBand is and it said 44.1, which is why I made the...

Hi All, I'm recording with a Focusrite Clarrett 8PRe thunderbolt and Reaper. I just started having a problem where if I disconnect the Clarrett and use the internal sound from the Macbook Air, the audio plays back at the wrong pitch/tempo. This never use to happen and I use to be able to...

Oops...I didn't mean to have the image uploaded. I thought I deleted.

Any Soundtracs Topaz users here? If so, I'd like to start a thread on how you all are using your Groups/Busses I also have a specific question related to how you bring signal on the Groups sums to the L-R Main mix. Manual says:"Left/Right Buttons are used to send the Group to either or both of...

I just called Burl, they were sorta shocked that the Focusrite only has Word Clock (BNC) out. But said that if the B2 is set to Internal for clock, the SPDIF connection is all I need. Interested to hear anyone elses feedback with respect to the B2 and clocking

The Burl is an industry standard for "colorful" mastering and is suppose to achieve headroom/D to A conversion that outclasses the Focusrite

Hi All, Quick questions from a digital N00b I recently got a Burl B2 Bomber ADC, which I plan to use as my 2-bus for mastering. I thought it was going to come with Toslink, but guess what...It's only got SPIDF and the Word Clock connects on the back! Surprise ebay ;) I have an RME Babyface --...

An insert cable is working bringing two mono sends back from the SDD-3000 pedal as a stereo effect to one FX return on the Topaz. Does anyone know if the PCM 90 is a true stereo effect? Or should I just apply reverb in mono?

Re: the board. Yes, it's a fine thing. I'm very fond if what it does to signal already, and happy to live with quirks. Re: further research I've done: apparently the FX returns are TRS stereo. I haven't had time yet with Mother's Day tasks piling up, but today or tomorrow I will 1) Test the...

Hello, I'm having trouble with stereo sends/returns on my Topaz Project 8. I have a Korg SDD-3000 (pedal version) and a Lexicon PCM 90 that I would like to connect. I can get the SDD to get input using Auxs 3 and 4, but when I return them (I'm using FX 3 and 4) I only hear the effect on the...

There is no Scarlett. There is a Clarett Pre 8 and a OctoPre MKII The OctoPre MKII isn't sold anymore IDT

BUT WAIT! Hahaha now I really don't blame you if you slam your laptop closed ;) I also have an RME Babyface. 1st Gen, not the pro. This is an DAC with ADAT in. The breakout cable only has two XLR outs for analog, but I think I remember something funky in the manual about being able to use the...
