8 Channel Mixer That Accepts Optical Inputs

Greetings-
I am looking for an affordable 8-12 channel audio mixer that accepts at least 2 optical inputs.
Are any of you knowledgeable users aware of such a device?
Thanks-
-DaddyPaycheck

The device appears to be discontinued in the US, but it seems readily available (and discounted) in the UK. I've no doubt you could get one in the US. BTW, it's ZERO ONE X, not OH ONE X.
Here are details of it: http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/CDA/ContentDetail/ModelSeriesDetail/0,,CNTID%252 53D21410%252526CTID%25253D228600%252526CNTYP%25253DPRODUCT,00.html
If it's discontinued, it seems likely that Yamaha will be bringing out a replacement that might be more suitable for your purposes.

Web Service Task - that accepts XmlNode Input

I'm creating an SSIS package that uses a web service method called "GetReportResults" ). The input parameters are:
username (string)
password (string)
reportid (int)
templateValues (xmlnode)
When I run the package, how do I input the values for the xmlnode? The web service documentation shows an example that says I need to pass in the templateValues (filters) like this for the xmlnode:
<FilterItems>
<FilterItem FilterItemId="62898" FieldTitle="Date Modified" Operator="GreaterThan" Value="" IsTemplate="true" />
<FilterItem FilterItemId="62899" FieldTitle="Date Modified" Operator="LessThan" Value="" IsTemplate="true" />
<FilterItem FilterItemId="62900" FieldTitle="Date Modified" Operator="GreaterThanOrEqualTo" Value="8/13/2013 12:00 AM" IsTemplate="false" />
<FilterItem FilterItemId="62901" FieldTitle="Status" Operator="DoesNotContain" Value="" IsTemplate="true" />
</FilterItems>
How do I go about setting this up so that when the package runs the templateValues are automatically input? Is there some sort of XML task that will accomplish this? If so, how would I implement this.

I did find find this in the web service documentation:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="1.0.0">

Can't get optical input to w

I have my XBox hooked up through my Audigy 2 Platinum Pro, and I was wanting to route the sound signal to my speaker system. I have the optical cord plugged into the Xbox output and into the Platinum Pro input, I have set the XBox up through the bios to output Dolby Digital and DTS and such. And I checked to make sure that the optical input wasn't muted or anything, and it isn't... but I don't get any sound from the XBox from this setup, and I don't know why. What do I need to do? (I have a 7. Speaker System also)

Is there a USB "Mixer" that can take control of the channel levels in garage band?

Im just looking for something like a USB "Mixer" that can take control of the Channel faders in garage band. Sort of like a digital Mixer, but not for recording.
many Thanks, Hammie

What you are looking for is called a Control Surface. M-Audio made one specifically for Garageband called the iControl but it was discontinued a few years ago. Many surfaces can work with many different DAWs but I don't know off hand any that work with Garageband.

What can I do about a 2008 iMac that does not accept any input, thus blocking entry of password at startup?

My 2008 iMac (20 inch) often freezes. Now it will not accept any input on startup. I type in my password, but it will not accept any characters I enter. The blinking line just continues to blink. It will not acknowledge my keyboard, mouse or trackpad. I have done a forced reboot and a force reboot combined with subsequently disconnecting the power cord and then restarting. No response from either step. What can I do?
Thanks.

Glad it is working for you.
Have a look at these two articles they may help if it occurs again.

New problem, 2 of 11 channels do not respond to input voltages

Hi All, I recently posted a question about my output flat lining, Thanks for all the help. Since then we thought the problem was gone. I'm not sure. We had an applications engineer here on monday morning and she was great. She re-did our vi front to back and we thought we were in. Except now two of eleven channels seem to not like us, they pick a voltage point all there own and refuse to read above that point, they just flat line. The set up for the Daq is as follows: Brand new Dell (bells and whistles) that had one PCI slot available for the new PCI-6224 M-Daq board. To this we have a SCC-68 accepting signals from a generic 5-B module back plane (all analog grounds are shared). Into the 5B's there are mixed voltage and current inputs (all modules are matched to the inputs and all output 0-5vDc). Most inputs work great, two do not. The new Block diagram uses my pre-defined Task with eleven inputs(mixed) with a couple of empty spaces on the board (i.e.0 is empty, 1-9,12,15 have inputs) The channels that do not like us are 1 and 7. The new vi. was built by the appl. engineer using my task and the panel included an indexing array so we can watch all channels at once while the file runs, we also collect data to a .lvm file for later export. We have tried rescaling the inputs on both the trouble child channels a number of times, we checked the constants for each array and checked the waveform graphs too many times to remember. If I disconnect these two channels and in put known voltage levels from a calibrator on channel 1 I see a change in signal up to 1.063 volts Dc then it flatlines. The scaling for that channel was set up numerous times using Linear and Mapping functions in Max. No difference, even when scaled to only read the voltage input (y=1 x=0). We did change the Task(i.e. build a new one a number of times and paste it into a copy of the vi. the engineer built for us, no help. I should mention that I changed all of the inputs at that time to NRSE from RSE (after the problem) because I felt the description of NRSE fit our situation better (High hopes). All of the channels share an earth ground with their excitation power supplies (I did not set this up, I adopted it and am trying to make it work) and most travel hundreds of feet to the setup. I do read the voltages that are supposed to be there in the SCC-68 and I do see them vary as they should, but the Daq card doesn't see what I see. The App's Eng. can't come back soon enough to help us again so I was hoping someone here might have seen this before and be able to set me straight on what I did wrong. Thanks Rich.

Hello craftsmanatlarge,
Every time I have seen this bahavior occur, it has been because the input limits of the virtual channel are not correct. Whenever you create a custom scale for a particular channel, you then have to specify the input limits (max and min) in terms of the scaled units, not the raw voltage. Please check to make sure that you have done that. If you are still having trouble after that, please post back with the specific numbers you are using for max and min input limits, and we can troubleshoot from there.
Best regards,

Audigy 4 Pro - can only get 2 channel sound via SPDIF/optical connecti

I have two PC's, one with an Audigy 4 Pro and one with an Audigy 2 Platinum (A2P), I have my 5. speakers hooked up to the A2P and the A4P connected via the SPDIF to the A2P, I would expect to get 5. - both are setup to use 5. speakers, (I know that as a standard Digital coax/optical connections should handle multi speaker configs my entire A/V sound system (7. Dolby) uses optical and coax and it works fine).
If I run the channel test on the Audigy 4 I can get nothing but sound through the left and right speakers, if I run the test on the Audigy 2 (speakers direct connected) the sound is fine, if I reconnect the speakers to my Audigy 4 I get sound on all speakers so it looks like its an issue with the SPDIF and optical inputs (I tried both).
I have emailed tech support, I'm waiting for them to come back and tell me that the Audigy 4 cannot transmit more than two channels down the SPDIF/optical outs, thats my suspicion anyway, if that is the case then I'm not going to be a happy man and the Audigy will be going back to the store. Could be a driver problem of course as I cant believe they would implement Dolby and THX and only transmit two channels on the optical outs, that would be a bit dumb considering the primary use for digital connections is sound system interconnects.
Anyone with any ideas about this let me know, perhaps theres a hidden setting somewhere or a registry setting that switches the digital outs to carry all signals.

Just before everyone kicks off, heres a response I got from a tech guy at Creative themselves.
If you connect speakers to your sound card using a digital cable
(RCA/SPDIF or optical) then the software speaker test will only output
from two speakers. The reason for this is that the speaker test signal is
not in AC3 nor DTS format.
The signal on a digital connection is either
Optical SPDIF - which is either Stereo PCM signal or AC-3/DTS Bitstream
RCA SPDIF - which is either Stereo PCM signal or AC-3/DTS Bitstream
If you play AC3 (Dolby Digital) or DTS encoded signals, the amplifier
decodes this and outputs it to all 6 speakers (5 satellites & subwoofer)
discretely.
When playing back stereo signals (such as Wav/CD Audio or MP3/WMA files)
the amplifier may generate 5. output based on the incoming stereo PCM
signal, provided Dolby Pro Logic decoding is available and activated.
Therefore the speaker test should not be relied on when using RCA or
Optical digital connections.
This applies to all speaker systems equipped with RCA or Optical digital
connections.
This makes sense to me and I'm pretty happy with it, basically as the reply says above the speaker test does not encode to AC3 hence if you hook two Audigys together and run the test you only get 2 channel output, if you play a DVD which is AC3/DTS encoded on one Audigy and listen to speakers hooked up to the other when both Audigys are connected via SPDIF or optical you should in theory get full playback on all speakers. Hopefully
Cheers

Compositing - Channel Mixer Help

I've been using AE now for a few years, (since v5.5) and mostly use it for motion graphics. Using CS3 now. But right now, I'm beginning to work through Steve Wright's book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Compositing-Film-Video-Second/dp/024080760X">Digital Compositing for Film and Video</a> to focus more on true compositing.
The author's aim is to keep the lessons application-independent and present concepts in a way that would be applicable to most software packages. (However, considering the author's frequent references to "nodes" and his well-known status as a Shake user & <a href="http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=408">Shake instructor</a>, it's apparent that using Shake, while reading this book, would lead to the least bumps in the road, when attempting to follow along.)
But I'm not using Shake, I'm using AE and have encountered a small bump in the road. Regarding luma keys he mentions how luma values are represented in the individual colors R,G,B. To cut to the chase, he says, "One standard equation that mixes the right proportions of RGB values to create a luminance image on a color monitor is:
Luminance = 0.30R + 0.59G + 0.11B"
Great. But I can't figure exactly how to mix the RGB values with the above proportions in AE. It's quite easy & straight-forward in Photoshop, using the Channel Mixer. <a href="http://www.geocities.com/kevincbrock/channel_mixer.png">Example here</a>. But AE's Channel Mixer does not seem to work quite the same way as it's counterpart in PS. There are values there, for instance, "Red-Red", but they seem to run in values from -200 to 200, not percentages, like PS. So my question is, how do I achieve the same channel mixing results in AE that I can in PS?
I'll add this: I was able to achieve the desired result in AE, but by using a round-a-bout sort of tactic. Instead of using the "Channel Mixer", I applied the "Set Channels" effect to my sample shot. By changing the "Set Red to Source 1's LUMINANCE", then doing the same for Green and Blue, setting them all to LUMINANCE, the resulting image is identical to the sample shot that was tweaked in Photoshop. Again, it worked, but I'd like to know how to change the proportions of RGB to other values than those represented in the formula above.
Hope this all makes sense.
Oh, and while I'm here.....I'll throw this in: In AE, when you apply the "Curves" effect, can you input precise values for input / output. Again, this is simple in Photoshop, but unless I don't have some display items turned on in the Curves editor in AE, I don't see a way to enter precise values. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for any input.
EDIT: for some reason, the links I've posted aren't showing up properly. So if your'e interested in following any of them you'll have to copy/paste on your own. Don't know why......

>Great. But I can't figure exactly how to mix the RGB values with the
>above proportions in AE.
You could use expressions... You create sliders for each input, then feed their output to the actual effects. Something like
//----begin expression
linear(value,0,100,-200,200)
//----end expression
should do in most cases. Still, be careful. Not everything written in that book directly applies to AE. It does not figure in any specifics of color management nor different Gammas which could massively skew results because the source footage will already be pre-adjusted and the comp will add another level of adjustments.
>Oh, and while I'm here.....I'll throw this in: In AE, when you apply >the "Curves" effect, can you input precise values for input / output.
Nope. AE's Curve effect will adapt to the project bit depth as a lot of other effects, presenting you with the problem of which values to actually use. This would only make sense if the effect itself would be independent from AE and process in float all the time and only the inputs were presented as different normalized ranges. There was/ should have been an alternative Curves effect from Frischluft, but at this point development has reached a dead stop, so it's doubtful it will ever be unleashed upon the world.

Optical Input on Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E with Logitech z-5

So i plugged in my Optical cord into my new sound card the Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E and it worked only in the Front right, Front left, Front centre, and the subwoofer. Now i hear i need a external decoder... but then again that my sound card should decode it as well... the place i bought my card recemended a optical cord for my card?with the?speakers i have?(the?Logitech Z-5500) How much are decoders? What should i do next? Creative seams to have limited support especialy on optical inputs.

I must have answered something like that in another thread sometime ago, but here goes:
A single SPDIF connection, optical or coaxial, will only transfer stereo in analog form; no rear or centre channels!
There are two ways you can get all speakers playing via such a connection:
() Get your speakers to upmix the audio source to play on all fi've of them
(2) Output a Dolby Digital (AC3) or DTS signal. These contain the multichannel information encoded in the stereo signal. A suitable decoder (such as the one contained in the Z-5500) will be able to analyze the signal. Unfortunately, this is something you can mostly find in movies.
So, to sum it up, no natural everyday multichannel sound over one SPDIF (e.g. no EAX, directsound3d etc.)

Four channel mix for P2 format?

I'm in the final stages of editing an EPK for an upcoming indie film, but I'm having some problems getting the audio output the way it's supposed to be delivered. The distributor wants the EPK on a master tape with a four channel mix. The problem is getting it to render it out that way.
We shot the EPK on P2 cards (720p), although the finished cut, while predominantly made up of P2 footage, also contains quite a number of production stills, SD footage and clips from the finished film sourced from the final Quicktime render file. Now the producer suddenly decides he wants me to export it as an MXF and put it on a P2 card, which he can then take to his people and have dubbed to HDCAM.
But, even after reading the CS4 manual, which seems to indicate that you can export back to P2 in four channels, I can't get it to work right.
I thought it was because I hadn't set up my sequence timeline for 5.1, so I created a new timeline as a 5.1 output. Then I had trouble porting the clips over to that because of memory issues (big project), so what I decided to do was export the project timeline twice as an MXF sequence. The first time I muted the tracks which had the music and effects on them and exported just the main program. Then I muted the main program audio and unmuted the music and effects and exported again. Then I opened a new project with a sequence that was set up for 5.1. I laid down both exports on the time line, the two video tracks right on top of each other. Then I used Source Channel mappings to route the main program to channels one and two, and the music and effects to channels three and four. I played it on the timeline and saw four channels light up with the mix.
So thinking I had solved the problem, I exported it again as a MXF and examined the output - only to find that the new sequence was only two channels, and only the main program audio. The music and effects were nowhere to be found.
Anybody know how to get this to work? Thanks!

Unfortunately, unless a software CD-4 demodulator exists that can process "modulated" recordings (it might...), you'll need 4-channel hardware capture capability. This is pretty common for musicians and you might find solutions in the music equipment section of Best Buy.
In terms of software - Audacity is amazing and VERY powerful. One thing you might be able to do with Audacity is something like:
Record player -> CD-4 decoder -> 4-channel audio capture card/interface -> 4-track WAV file
then
4-track WAV file -> 4.0 or 5.1 channel AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio -> Dolby Digital capable surround receiver
The latter is actually what I do with recordings from my Zoom H2 - however this has 4-channel mic recording but not 4-channel line-in recording.
It looks like, in order to do software CD-4 demodulation, your recording solution will have to have a VERY high samplerate and a much higher cutoff for its lowpass filter than typical for audio - there are likely to be few off-the-shelf solutions for recording the "un-demodulated" CD-4 inputs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadraphonic_sound#CD-4_.28Compatible_Discrete_4.29_.2F_Quadradisc - In short, I don't think recording to PC and then demodulating is going to be practical.

Digital Audio Optical Input S/PDIF on Mac Mini 10.9.2

For years prior, with my MMP 15", etc. and since the fall the Mac Mini (fall '13), the setup worked flawlessly ... until recently -- since around the time updating to 10.9.2 I have had intermittant issues with the digital I/O with my Apogee Rosetta 200 until it stopped all together last week.
I have replaced or swapped out the cables first off, to no improvement -- I called Apogee and we were able to prove the input to Apogee with an Eventide Esclipse's S/PDIF output.
I called Apple and the tech and I rebooted in safemode and saw the Audio Devices pane of Audio Midi Setup and Sound neither showed the digital input/output as being active. I sent the unit in and the logic board was replaced in view of the circumstances.
I just setup the repaired unit and now the S/PDIF out (from the Mini to the Rosetta) works -- the Sound pane shows that shows the functioning digital input however, and conspicuosly, the Audio/Midi does not (and used to).
Further, the S/PDIF in (from the Apogee to the Mac) is neither functioning nor the two panes, Audio devices and Sound, register the digial input.
Is there an issue with 10.9.2 or is it possible the one of the 1/8" analog/light pipe inputs of the Mac Mini is also not working and not determined/checked duri -- other ideas?
I have a backgorund as a Mac tech and a member of Apple Solutions Expert since back in the 90's ...

The optical digital audio input is a good way to get basic digital audio data into the Mac - assuming you have the audio in that format. Most vinyl digitizing folks do not.
The most common hardware configuration is to use your old vinyl turntable, connected to the proper phono input of a stereo (most modern stereos do not have this and you have to buy an outboard phono preamp). Then the recording (tape) output of the stereo goes to an audio interface that connects to the Mac with Firewire or USB, and not using the Mac optical input at all. There are dozens of famous makers of interfaces from a hundred dollars to thousands. For the casual user, I'd say $250 is a nice spot. You can get a stereo interface that takes analog input from your stereo, digitizes it, and send it to the Mac. It will also accept microphones, should you want. You'll need software to record and edit the audio (Audacity is free and works) and you can use iTunes to make CDs (although cumbersome).
There are interfaces that do have optical outputs that you could connect to the Mac. But since optical interfaces are rare on computers, and have many limitations, this isn't so common.
There are many tutorials on the net about digitizing LPs on computers.

Digital Audio Optical Input S/PDIF cable recommendation

I have a 2010 iMac. I am beginning to research a project for my mom that involves converting old recordings a group my dad was in years ago to digital from vinyl. I have a couple of input options available but I'm seeing reference to optical input on the iMacs. It appears that this would give me the best audio quality. So, my question is this: To go from a pre-amp output, what cables, converters, et cetera would I need to in order to make use of the optical input for audio? I have looked through the forums and see some mention of the subject, but nothing that seems directly to address the specifics of this.
Thank you.

How do I use optical input for recording in Garageband 9?

Hi,
I'm trying to use the Optical Line Input on my G5 for recording in Garageband, using a MOTU 828. I have the 828 optical output connected to the optical audio input on the G5, and I have Digital In (Optical digital-in port) selected in system preferences/sound. But in Garageband preferences, optical or digital input is not among my choices. If I select system setting or built-in audio 2, I get no signal. If I select MOTU 828, it defaults to the analog master outputs on the 828.
I am a Logic 8 user, and I'm able to select the optical input in Logic with no problem. I have my MOTU audio setup set so that the optical output is the default output, but Garageband still seems to use the analog output. I can tell by the record level, which is considerably louder for analog than for optical.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Optical inputs on Audigy 2 ZS Platinum

I'm considering purchasing the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and I have a question about the optical input functions on the external control box. I read that it can be used to capture music(i.e. from a guitar, etc) however I would be interested in using the optical input coming in from a stand alone DVD player or PlayStation 2. By doing this, would my speakers play the audio? In other words, will the optical inputs take the signal from an external device and process it into surround sound, AC3. I read that some other models will not, so thats why I'm asking.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I run my xbox and xbox 360 to the optical in with good results so im sure the out would give similar results.
So im gonna say yes, but im not sure.

How to accept user inputs from sql script

I want to create Tablespace useing sql script , but the location of the data file I need accept from user . (to get the location of the data file ) .
How can I accept user input from pl/sql .
Example :
CREATE TABLESPACE TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
     DATAFILE 'H:\ORACLE_DATA\FRSDB\TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf'
     SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
     EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;here I need to accept location of the datafile from user ie : 'H:\ORACLE_DATA\FRSDB\TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf'

Hi,
Whenenever you write dynamic SQL, put the SQL text into a variable. During development, display the variable instead of executing it. If it looks okay, then you can try executing it in addition to displaying it. When you're finished testing, then you can comment out or delete the display.
For example:
SET     SERVEROUTPUT     ON
DECLARE
    flocation     VARCHAR2 (300);
    sql_txt     VARCHAR2 (1000);
BEGIN
    SELECT '&Enter_The_Path'
    INTO    flocation
    FROM    dual;
    sql_txt := 'CREATE TABLESPACE SRC_TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
     DATAFILE' || flocation || ' "\SRC_TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf" ' || '
     SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
     EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL ';
    dbms_output.put_line (sql_txt || ' = sql_txt');
-- EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_txt;
END;
/When you run it, you'll see something like this:
Enter value for enter_the_path: c:\d\fubar
old   5:     SELECT '&Enter_The_Path'
new   5:     SELECT 'c:\d\fubar'
CREATE TABLESPACE SRC_TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
     DATAFILEc:\d\fubar
"\SRC_TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf"
     SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE
UNLIMITED
     EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL = sql_txt
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.This makes it easy to see that you're missing a space after the keyword DATAFILE. There are other errrors, too. For example, the path name has to be inside the quotes with the file name, without a line-feed between them, and the quotes should be single-quotes, not double-quotes.
Is there some reason why you're using PL/SQL? In SQL, you can just say:
CREATE TABLESPACE SRC_TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
DATAFILE '&Enter_The_Path\SRC_TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf'
SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;though I would use an ACCEPT command to given a better prompt.
Given that you want to use PL/SQL, you could assign the value above to sql_txt. If you need a separate PL/SQL variable for flocation, then you can assign it without using dual, for example:
DECLARE
    flocation     VARCHAR2 (300)     := '&Enter_The_Path';The dual table isn't needed very much in PL/SQL.
