Firepod/FP10 users - a favour..

[Morgan C]

No Bleed.

I am a bit confused by your comment "I don't get bleed (but then only get one side of a headphone)." though.

Hmm

Thanks for that. Any FP10 users can give this a try? Maybe its just the FP10's (or just mine)

I meant by that.. if I use Output 3 I get no bleed, but there's no 'headphones' slot, just a L and R. So I guess Ima have to buy a headphone amp to plug in there, otherwise I only get one side the headphones.

Output 1 and 2 is the output of the DAW Output 3-8 is the output of there perspective preamp... from what I remember.

Same test but no problem for me (FP10 for me). Sorry for you

You can use this for DAW output too. It's what I use for reamping btw.

Only preamps 1-2 have an output. 3-8 can be used to send from different channels out of the DAW. This is what I use for reamping.

Alright, worked this out I think.

I'd accidentally installed the Firepod drivers instead of the FP10 drivers when I first installed the FP10, so I installed the FP10 drivers over them, and thought I deleted the Firepod drivers...

I checked today and BOTH drivers were installed, and somehow the Firepod drivers at a later date than the FP10's. No idea what happened there..

Anyway, I uninstalled all the drivers I had, and then reinstalled the FP10 drivers and now it seems to be fine. The problem is still there sometimes, but honestly, its about 1/4 of the volume of the noise floor. Unnoticeable. I guess its just part of the design, and the Firepod drivers brought it out really badly.

Glad to see that you got it sorted. Drivers causing bleed seems pretty weird though.

 

[HandsOfDespair]

Fuck. Just realized I have the same problem.

I recorded an audio track with just the metronome on, and if you put the volume up you hear the click. That sucks.

That wav is me playing through input 1 with my headphones through outputs 1L and 2R and no monitors on.

If I record with outputs 3L and 4R there's no metronome bleed but I hear nothing.

It's 3:30 am I'm drunk and fucking pissed off. I don't have another 500 to spend

 

[Executioner213]

Mine does it. I'm going to try reinstalling in the near future, but for now I'm going to deal with it since I don't have anything special to do.

 

[Morgan C]

Sorry, I realised later it wasn't the drivers. I was using a power cable from my keyboard which happened to fit. When I went back to the Presonus cable the problem went mostly away (its still there but barely noticeable).

Try that.

 

[Executioner213]

I'm using the original Presonus supplied P/S cables. I'll try a few things...I wonder if there is crosstalk somewhere because of my FP10 going into a headphone amp.

I have an original Firepod, original drivers but updated the Firmware (I think it was for daisy-chaining but I'm not 100% sure).

I've just done a test using only the metronome click in Cubase.

I have the same issue too.

I unplugged everything so all I had was my Firepod running, nothing but the power cable and firewire cable plugged into it.

To hear the click on the recording I had to boost the gain up really, really high but it's definately there!

 

[HandsOfDespair]

Any update on this?

I wonder if I should buy a headphone preamp to see if the problem goes away or just throw my firepod by the window and buy a profire.

 

[beyond dead]

any of you guys having the famed problem with dropouts and having to restart the firepod to get sound back? I'm having this problem with my firebox sadly, and there's literally no fix for this as presonus won't acknowledge it.

ya, usually happens after the computer is left untouched for awhile and goes into sleep mode. sync is lost

there you go

 

[HandsOfDespair]

there you go

I seriously don't have the money for this though

I'll probably buy a behringer Minimon and plug it in output 3-4.

 

[musickey]

Thats kinda crazy fellas, I have used firepods in the past and FP10's currently and have never encountered this issue.

this was happening to me when I would be recording something. I ended up downgrading to drivers from like 2 years ago, and never had a problem again.
