, both speed and price.
Regards,
DedricThe cables are not the same length and can't be because of the setup. Two
of the cables are 6 feet and 75 ohm. The one small cable that came with it
is two feet and 59ohm. However when I run the preamp off of the Paris, it
doesn't matter 75 ohm, 6 feet or 2 feet it runs flawlessly, but as soon as
I use the Aardsync, it's as if it not even plugged in. Also there is no BNC
out to terminate on the preamps. When you set the switch on the back to 44.1
slave, that puts termination on the preamp. But, this isn't a daisy chain
that you terminate the last one in the chain, it is three seperate runs.

I have a bunch of Roland and Kurzweil CDRs that I was hoping to
install into Kontakt. The Rolands are missing the data that creates
the mapping on many. The Kurzweils have loop point issues (feeding =
back!)
along with layers not always showing up.
I want to think cdXtract 4.1 will do a better job but they haven't =
retuned
my multiple emails to tech support and sales. Anyone like the program?
Should I spring for the $139 just to see if it works? =20
What would you do? $139 would get me another sample disk in Kontakt =
format . . .
I choose Polesoft Lockspam to fight spam, and you?

ables are 6 feet and 75 ohm. The one small cable that came with
it
>is two feet and 59ohm.
There's your problem, I betcha... two different sets of
resistance AND two different lengths. Contrary to what you just
said, they CAN be all the same length (and in fact, really
ought to be) if you're not diasy-chaining them... you simply
default to the longest length you need as the length for all
the cables. Right now the two-footers are bringing clock
data into their units at a third of the timing that the six-
footers are... the resistance difference adds a whole 'nuther
factor, too but even if that were the same, you've got the
units on the receiving end of the six-footers clocking sample
number "1", while the ones at the end of the two-footers are
already at sample number 14,700 (@ 44.1k samplerate).
Are you basically hearing like 3 clicks/pops per second,
roughly?
Get all 6-foot, 75-ohm cables & report back, do not under any
circumstances use 58/59-ohm cables (in my experience, anyway).
NeilRod Morgenstein still with them?
