Pod XT Pro SPDIF through FF800

[Ground Up Studios]

I've been doin a lot of research trying to figure this shit out, but I can't seem to get it. I connect the pod XT pro to the ff800 via SPDIF (red and white cables). Then I set the output on the pod to SPDIF. Then I set the input in cubase to SPDIF. I even make sure the SPDIF input isn't muted in total mix. Still doesn't work. Anybody who can help?

Red and white cable? A SPDIF cable is a digital coaxial cables. A regular RCA style cable won't work.

So how come the Inputs and outputs are red and white? Damnnn what a stupid mistake

But aside from the cables, should it work?

 

[Strachan of D]

it will work it you get the right cable , set the output from the pod to spdif

There is a possibility that clocking the rme is done differently. In any case clock the rme to spdif and if there is a setting on the pod pro to turn on the spdif out do that as well.

On the FF800, if using older drivers set Clock Mode on AutoSync to avoid digital noise with SPDIF inputs; Sync Ref to TCO and check the Word Clock Out check box for Single Speed.

With any drivers set SPDIF input source to coaxial, and always set Clock Source to SPDIF.

I'll add that while in theory cheap RCA's don't work, in practice they have every single time I've tried. It's far more likely a settings issue than a cable issue.

ok so i got a signal down and everything is sounding the way i want when i listen to the input via total mix. BUT when i record, the signal is extremely low? wtf

Fireface settings > Analog (1) tab > switch 'Line In' level to +4 dBu or -10 dBV

 

[Ground Up Studios]

its already at +4

 

[AD Chaos]

To -10, then.
