problems hooking up ADAT to echo audiofire 8

Hi there,

I have everything set to 48Khz, but I'm not sure what to set the base settings in the mpc 4k and the echo audiofire so I can tell if it is working or not. I have the cable plugged in from the out of the mpc to the in of the audiofire.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
M

echo audiofire 8 settings:
Sample rate = 48khz
Clock source=internal
Digital Mode=ADAT Optical

mpc settings:
global>system clock>48khz

thanks lampdog, i checked out the manual before posting.
i'm not sure what i need to do to make sure i'm getting a digital signal through the adat card. i'll call vst service and suss it out, i suppose.

I'm using a 1m ALVA OK1 - ADAT Lightpipe Cable with TOSLink Connectors, brand new. Both ends are pushed in as far as they will go. It does not appear bent.
What cable do you use?

Thanks Lampdog. I'm going to grab a new toslink from sam ash in case I destroyed the new one by twisting it. I'll set sync to internal on mpc and sync to adat on echo audiofire, then get mad because it doesn't work and order the analog 8 outs and call it a day.

Try changing the clock source on the echo to adat.

Could changing the outputs in the mixer window to the ADAT outs be of help?

Thanks for all the help, everyone. Still haven't had success with the adat out, but in going through this process realized it would serve me better to learn how to use some tools in Logic better. I am now focusing on using ultrabeat and the EB2 in logic and triggering/sequencing with MPC. It's easy to chop drums I've already recorded out from the MPC and plop them in ultrabeat. Best of both worlds. Problem solved.
