Thanks to all that responded to the question about guitar and bass players.
We have about 6 folks at this time. I want to use this information when I
contact Line 6 about the inaccesability of their Fire Hawk pedalboard FX and
amp simulator that can be controlled via Bluetooth on IPhone, IPad, and
Android devices. None of the app's buttons are labeled for voice over as I
have downloaded the app. This would be a great device for live work and
direct recording. I don't think it would take much for their developers to
make this thing work for all of us.
Check it out at:
www.sweetwater.com
and do a search for line 6 fire hawk FX.

Thanks,
Grant

Fact is, I had completely screwed the pooch. The control panel for the focus
right had been set to internal. Once I set it to SPDIF, and made sure that
the sample rates were in sync, everything was cool.  Thanks for all the
help.

Kevin, SPDIF as well as ADAT and its variants use digital clocks. These

are carried with the connection, so no extra cables are required. This
digital clock is what I was referring to, not wordclock. The control panel
should list this info somewhere, whether the unit is using and sync with an
external clock, or if it's external. You usually want to turn the device
sending out the clock before the other receiving device, though with newer
equipment this is not such a big deal. But on the saffire for example, if
you SPDIF, it expects to receive a clock from the audio source, along with
the sample rate. It then adjusts accordingly.

Note this has nothing to do with sonar and it's clocks, mtc clocks, or

word clock, i'mreferring to SPDIF specificly.

Xavier,
I have sonar, the focus right, and the DAT machine. I do not have a

separate master clock. With this in mind, what is the correct order? There
is no word clock involved here.

Remember with SPDIF sometimes order is important. Since the audio source is
usually the one that hold master clock, turn it on first so it starts
sending out a clock signal, then turn on the saffire a few seconds later, so
that it has a clock to sync to. Be sure that it is in fact using an external
clock source and not internal.

Floyd,
Just got an email from another list recommending that I check my sample

rate on the DAT. I suspect that will solve the problem. Not home now. Will

Dear all,
I really need help on this one.  I own a DAT Machine which is
connected via SPDIF to my focus right 18i20.  Yesterday, and for a
couple days before then, I was transferring The contents of old
DAT tapes into sonar without any issues.

Today, when I fired up my system to continue making these
transfers, I was on able to record anything at all.  I also tried
this in Reaper.  I should note that I opened and armed Reaper
first, before opening sonar, because I wanted to save my files as FLAC

To save space.

When I was on able to record in reaper, I opened sonar and
discovered that I couldn't get any content there, either.

For the sake of this discussion, I will stay focused in sonar.
Here are the things I have done:

I made sure that the track I wanted was assigned to the SPDIF
input and the master output.
2.  Made sure that the track was armed and that input monitoring
was enabled.
3.  For the record, I had done the same things in reaper when I
tried that as well.
I know that the tapes have content because I monitored through my
headphones using the headphone jack on the  DAT Machine.
I also have enough vision to see the display on the DAT Machine
and saw the VU meters registering as the content played.
While this should not have been necessary I also reached back to
make sure that my cables were properly seated.  These cables are
almost brand-new in as much as they have almost never been used.
Also made sure that SPDIF what is enabled in my focus right
control panel. I don't need accessibility I have enough vision to
use a mouse when necessary.
Powered down and rebooted computer twice.
WTF?

Any help greatly appreciated from reaper or sonar or Samplitude users.
Haven't gone to Samplitude yet because I don't think the choice of
DAW has anything to do with this.

Thanks for any help,
Kevin

Hi everyone,

Out of curiosity, how many on this list play guitar or bass? It does
not matter how advanced you are, I am just curious to know the number.

Well used a Hartke Kickback here for years and love it because you can place
it in a position like a wedge on stage as it has a bit cut out of the back
of it. It has a headphone socket and DI out on it to.

Xavier,
I am having really strange issues. Some of my DATs  work just fine. While
others will not sync no matter what I do.  I am failing in both sonar and
reaper.  It's the damnedest thing.  As far as I know, all of these DATs our
undamaged.
I have my control panel clock set to as PDF.  All the inputs are correct.
Really stuck. I'm on Skype if you have a second.

Thanks,
