Optical output using a DigiDesign 002 Rack

Hi there,
I'm wanting to use the optical output on my 002 Rack but am not able to get it working (no sound).
The rack's connected to my Macbook Pro (firewire), and I'm running Logic Pro 8.
Any suggestions?

Hi all,
Just a quick question in addendum to what has been said. Perhaps best directed to the Digidesign/Avid technical support people...
The Digi 002 has an option for "Mirrored Outputs from analog 1+2 to Digital Out" in the Core Audio Manager. Surely one should thus see signal being input when the system pref's input is set to Digital In, right?
Or is there no way to monitor via analog 1+2 and output via the digital ADAT on the 002 at the same time? Does one have to flip sources in the hardware manager in Pro Tools?
I thought mirrored would send to both outputs, but clearly it doesn't as I'm seeing no input from Digi 002 digital out to Mac digital in in the system pref's input level bars.
Any advice would be dearly appreciated.
Thanks

  • How do I configure Soundtrack Pro2 to play audio using Digidesign 002 Rack?

    How do I configure Soundtrack Pro2 to play audio using Digidesign 002 Rack? I have no problem using Logic 8 with the 002 Rack?
    Can somebody explain the necessary process to make this work. Thanks

    Add is probably not the best choice of terminology.
    Going from memory (since I'm at home), you need to launch digiCoreAudio, then select your output in the System prefs as your digi hardware. After that you would see the digi hardware as an output in STP.

  • Getting Audio/MIDI to recognize my Digidesign 002 rack

    I just upgraded from a G4 with Tiger to an iMac with Leopard. As I wait for Pro Tools LE to upgrade for Leopard compatibility, I thought I'd try to learn Garageband. Although I copied my old hard drive over to my new one and attached my Digi 002 rack to my firewire port, I can't seem to get the iMac to recognize it in the Audio/MIDI setup dropdowns (which only show built-in mic, etc.). Do I need to install some software or is there another step I'm missing? I'd appreciate any help--thanks in advance!

    There have always been issues with Digidesign hardware that was really only intended to work with PT. I'm amazed that it works at all with Audition, quite frankly!
    There is a version 7 driver update, and that might help, I suppose. The other thing to note is that both the PT ASIO and wave drivers are both very much single-client, and preview playing has always been a slightly separate issue as far as Audition is concerned, and that may well be why the only thing left in the OS that can play anything is the wave mapper (which has always been absolute garbage...). And make sure that the system sounds are turned completely off - that alone would stop the preview working, I suspect.
    The other thing you could try doing is to install ASIO4ALL (free) on the machine as a replacement for the WIndows Audio Driver, and try using that instead - it's rather more forgiving, and is capable of integrating hardware rather well, one way or another. Also it gives you better diagnostics and a couple more options to try.
    Other than that lot, there isn't a lot you can do, though.

  • Digidesign 002 Rack with Logic Studio

    Hi,
    I have recently bought a macbook pro and am wanting to record at my drum teachers house. He uses an iMac running Pro Tools with the 002 Rack. As i am wanting to record and mix everything in logic, not pro tools, can i use a firewire 800 to 400 cable to connect the 002 Rack to my macbook and then record through that? Or is the 002 Rack not compatible with Logic?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there,
    I believe in theory this should work.
    You will need to download a driver called "Standalone Digidesign CoreAudio Drivers" for Mac OS X to make the 002 work on your system called. As I understand it this is for folks that have Digi Design hardware but don't have PT installed on there system.
    Try this page for the driver that is at the bottom of the page.
    http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=54&itemid=23375
    I am sure folks that own an 002 and use it without PT can be of more help here than I.
    Good luck,

  • How listening audio output with console digidesign 002

    i have conncected the fcp5 with the digidesign 002. I have made all the necessary settings, that provide the connection, through audio/video settings/user preferences etc... Though, when i put something to the canvas, i can listen from the speakers, but the channels of didgidesign don't communicate with the audio channels in fcp.2)when i do log and capture from the cam, the logged footage has sound, but i can't listen to it, when the sound is connected via digidesig. It seems that something is wrong but i don't know what. Does anyone knows?

    You have to use the Digi-002 in Standalone mode, as a mixer. Press the standalone button and then select 'Yes'.
    I connect the optical audio cable from my G5 into the optical audio in the back of the 002. You'll have to read the manual to make faders 7 and 8 'listen' to the optical port rather than the XLR inputs. And then in System preferences on the MAC, the Audio Out would be Optical Digital-Port out.
    The only time I use the 002 in it's regular mode is i) when I'm using Pro Tools, or ii) when I'm using Garageband and using the 002 as my audio input device.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can i use my digidesign 002 with logic pro 9

    Hi does anyone know if i can use a 002 to interface with
    with logic

    You will have to check with AVID/Digidesign to see if they have Core Audio drivers available for Mountain Lion.
    Logic is Core Audio compatible so an interface has to have Core Audio drivers that are compatible with the operating system they wish to use it on.

  • Using Digi 002 rack with FCP

    Does anyone have experience with using a Pro Tools Digi 002 rack with Final Cut? I'm having some trouble making it work. I just want to be able to use during editing for audio output. The 002 shows up as viable device in audio/video setup, however, FCP claims it only has one output, instead of the 8 it has. Really, at this point in time I'd be happy with 2 channels recognized, but I certainly would like to stay away from mono. Any ideas?
    --Justin S.
    I'm running FCPHD 4.5

    I think your best bet is to contact DigiDesign. I have run several searches on the FCP forums and SoundTrackPro forums for you. Nothing came up that indicates the device you are using works with FCP but I didn't read 'em all.

  • No sound from optical output when using hdmi/dvi cable

    I am trying to connect my apple tv2 to my B&O Beovision 7. I have used an HDMI to DVI cable which is working fine for the picture; but obviously DVI does not carry sound. I have therefore connected an optical cable to the digital optical output on the apple TV and put this through a converter to digital coax, which then goes in to the TV. I know the optical cable / converter set up works fine as I have tested it on my sky box and it works fine. But I get no sound from the apple TV - any ideas?

    I hav exactly the same problem... Did you resolve this??

  • TS4107 I have to use the optical output to my receiver for my surround sound ( it does not decode HDMI). After updating the software on my Apple TV the optical no longer works. The HDMI to my TV works and provides sound to the measly TV speakers. WHY?

    I updated my software as "recommended" and my optical output is not working anymore to my receiver and thus no surround sound. My HDMI to the TV still provides the picture and sound to the TV. My receiver only uses optical and was fine BEFORE the software was updated. How can I go back to the prior software or fix this? My Apple TV is the earlier 720P version. I have tried restarting on the Apple TV and then unplugging and reinserting all plugs to no avail. It provides no optical sound on Netflix, Youtube and other selections but does via HDMI only to the tinny TV speakers. ANY IDEAS?

    GO to your Dolby Digital settings, and toggle the options.. Auto, On, Off. That worked for me, and a few other people.

  • Using Macbook Optical Output to record MDs?

    I was trying to use Macbook connected to a MD player with optical line to record MDs.
    I used iTunes to play the music at full volume.
    However, although the MD should be receiving digital audio, but the tracks weren't separate automatically. Therefore, the whole CD with 15 tracks were recorded as only 1 track on the MD.
    I tried using a CD player with optical output before, everything was perfectly done.
    Is there anyway I can do it with the Macbook too?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    when digital connecting a CD-Player and a MD-Deck then the CD-Player also transmits start-song/end-song information to the MD-Deck.
    iTunes (and/or maybe Macs) don't seem to have that ability, so that the MD-Deck could only know a song has ended through the 'silence' between two songs.
    But this 'silence' usually has to endure some seconds (at least on my Sony MD).
    So other than playing only one song at a time, waiting for the MD-Deck reaction before starting the next song, I don't know other solutions.
    Regards

  • What is the optical output bit/sample rate of an Apple TV3 when using the wired network connection. 16/48 or 24/48.

    What is the optical output bit/sample rate of an Apple TV3 when using the wired network connection. 16/48 or 24/48.

    It doesn't matter what type of network connection it has its output is 16/48.

  • Using internal Speakers and optical Output at the same time ?

    Hello,
    is it now possible to use the internal Speakers and optical Output at the same time ?
    Is this a software or hardware limitation ?
    Every day im disconnecting the optical output. It can't be good for the contacts. I wont spend over 100 euros buying an external soundcard to solve this problem.
    Any Ideas ?

  • Is it possible to connect a digi design 002 rack to a mac book air 13'

    I'm used to running PC, Windows but decided to switch to Mac because I got a deal on a Mac Book Air 13". But there is only one USB port, headphone jack and a mico DVI port. I've tried a Firewire to USB adapter but computer will not recognize the 002 rack. Just keeps saying unable to find Digi Hardware... Iv'e heard that the newer Mac Air has a Thunderbolt port, is there a way to buy this port seperately? Mine obviously doesn't come with this....

    How to connect windows laptop (vga) to thunderbolt display?
    AHHH??!!!!!!  Was that your original question??   I assumed you were trying to output FROM your computer (MacBook Pro w/ Thunderbolt) to the new display and then OUT to be the video source to a DVI switcher.
    MB Pro w/TB ---> TB Display ---> mDP-to-DVI adapter ---> DVI switcher
    So it seems as if it's not possible to use the thunderbolt display with the mini display port adapter to DVI you've mentioned.
    I did not understand that you were trying to use other PC's into a switcher and then THAT Video source to connect INTO the TB display.   If THAT is what you're trying to do, then NO....  You can NOT use the new TB Display to be used to display "FROM" a DVI switcher (and also can NOT be used to display from other Non-TB-Apple computers).
    I've also called apple. The statement was that one needs a computer with osx 10.6.x in order to connect the thunderbolt display. That makes it impossible to hook a windows pc or older mac to the new and shiny thunderbolt display.
    I wonder why apple doesn't state this in their technical descriptions...?
    -ais-swiss
    Actually, the state that information all over the Tech Specs on the Apple Store website.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC914LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Here are two different statements from that webpage:
    So yes.... other NON-Apple PC's (or non-TB devices) do Not have the Thunderbolt technology (hardware/software) to be able to communicate with the TB display or other TB devices.
