I agree folks that I have not responded with feedback on trials. Problem is unless I have arranged my space, I’m unable to supply power even. And the arrangement and rearranging has resulted into a complete chaos in my room with barely space to move. That is why, if I knew for certainty what...

So what would you suggest? Shall I take a chance and go for a 3 m long cable? That’s the length I would need.

BTW I just had an amusing reply from PRESONUS support: "We recommend using a usb cable that is less then 5ft. We hope this helps." So perhaps the only way is to shove the audio interface to the inside of the computer cabinet where it will pick up all the electromagnetic noise. Big mistake to...

So would you say that perhaps this type of thing might work better...

I reread the whole thing again. What do you mean by active USB extender? What I mean by USB extender is via CAT-5e/6 cable connecting a transmitter to a receiver.

Attaching a photo of the previous rough layout. The PC cabinet is on the rightmost. The rackmounted interface devices are on extreme left, just next to the left speaker. So the problem was to connect the interfaces to the PC cabinet on the right. Forgot to mention that thr PC cabinet has 4...

Gentlemen Good morning (India Time) to all. Sorry I have been busy organising / reorganising my "studio" past few days, but honestly I am not reall getting anywhere close to a good setup, given the restricted space. However, I have been able to place mMy PC rack next to me desk, with top entry...

Very well said. There’s a product called iConnect MIDI 4+ which though at its core of a MIDI interface, it has features of audio pass through, multi computer connectivity and network connectivity. Anyone any idea what it actually does and whether it can help my situation? I think I read that...

AI?

Thanks and there’s a lot more clarity. I’ll first try tidying up the system as best possible. By the way I’m 60.😂

Did you check out this video? Doctored? True? Can’t really say.

Yes it’s 4 PCs, of which, one is a DAW, while the other three are MIDI Synths. About the powered hubs, do you think I still need to buy these, having already invested in two AV Access USB over Ethernet Extenders? I thought MIDI wouldn’t be a problem if the keyboards, control surfaces and...

I searched a lot regarding using extended USB cables for MIDI Synths and for control surfaces. Got nothing. No convincing videos or posts. The problem is I don’t have the space to cram everything near to my desk.

I don't know how truthful this video is!

Thanks for the time taken to write back. A few questions arising from your note: 1. "The other thing to understand, once you add an active device, say like a USB hub, you gain another 5 meters in limitation. In fact, some of the active 2.0 USB cables have a big bulge every 5 meters. This is...

Q: What is the computer and what interface are you planning on using? A: Two computers with external interfaces (two more with PCI soundcards) as follows: - PC1: Windows 10 Pro, Asus TUF GAMING B560-PLUS motherboard; Presonus Studio 1824c (USB c to USB A 2.0 connectivity cable) - PC2: Windows...

Gentlemen, Thanks for all your inputs. How would I connect the audio interfaces to the computers using fiber? As I said, I also have a severe space shortage so there’s no way I can get a short enough direct connection path for the USB. How did the large studios manage this ever? Or even home...

Well thanks for the replies but I was expecting replies from experience with audio interfaces installed at long distances from the computer

I take a cue from an old thread on the same subject which unfortunately, as I see it, wasn’t resolved. It’s here: USB extension for Audio Interface These days, particularly with increasing computing power, fan noise from chassis and SMPS are unimaginable higher than yesteryears. This means...

Sorry Sirs for my outburst, and sorry for the long gap in responding. Just came out of a bout of dengue fever. Meanwhile, as I had in a separate post mentioned about a multi computer setup that I am trying to achieve, I forgot to mention that the Focusrite was already earmarked for my second...
