Fellow Audiophiles,
For the life of me...I should be able to figure this out...but I think I'm having a major brain warp tonite.
For two years, I never had to worry about interfacing my Lexicon (MPX-500) Effects Processor with my AI (LAYLA 24/96) & SONAR XL, presumably because I was working in 16/44.1; & the MPX-500 supports sample rates of 44.1k & 48k.
I recently began working in 24/96; & tonight attempted to loop a nice reverb onto a vocal track (Hookup: LAYLA 3/4 analog Out > MPX-500 3/4 analog In > FX > MPX-500 1/2 analog Out > LAYLA 1/2 analog In. SONAR track/device assignments: Same - LAYLA 3/4 Driver Out for source track & LAYLA 1/2 Driver In for recording track.
Needless to say...it didn't work...wouldn't record at all...needle rolled real slow, w/ no audible anything.
I kicked the track in question over to WaveLab, performed SRC down to 48k, opened the track in a new SONAR project set to 48k, recorded the track with FX, kicked it back to WaveLab, performed SRC back up to 96k; & imported it back into the 24/96 project. Everything’s fine.
But then I thought...wait a minute !
It's frickin' ANALOG ! It's an analog signal path (it's dual conversion...but still analog...from the moment it leaves the LAYLA's DAC & analog Outs, all the way thru the Lexicon, back into the LAYLA's analog Ins; & is then converted back to digital to be recorded in a new track in SONAR.
Where does sample rate come into play. I'm not synching anything...I'm using the MPX-500 as an analog hardware effects device to loop.
Where am I going wrong?
[Man...I'm really super fried tonite...long, hard day...I'll probably wake up in the morning; & think: "man, what a dumbass question", eh?]
