Using the PSX-100’s 96K “double-wire” mode, you can record full 24-bit\/96K (or 24\/88.2) audio to a standard Pro Tools 24. <\/p>\n
A normal 44.1K or 48K AES\/EBU output contains both the left and right channels in one cable – the left and right channels are interleaved so that one sample is the left channel and the next sample is the right channel (LRLRL and so on…).<\/p>\n
Using Apogee’s double-wire method, the left channel is output from PSX-100 AES\/EBU output #1 and the right channel is output from AES\/EBU output #2 — each output at a sampling rate of 48K (or 44.1 if recording 88.2). Every sample from output #1 is left channel only (output #2 right channel only), effectively doubling the number of left and right channel samples (e.g., 48,000 left channel samples per second instead of the normal 24,000 left channel samples per second). <\/p>\n
Pro Tools “sees” each of these AES\/EBU inputs as a normal AES\/EBU signal pair and thus records them to two Pro Tools tracks for each AES\/EBU input (e.g., left channel on tracks 1&2 and right channel on tracks 3&4) — so, a stereo 24\/96 signal is recorded on to four tracks in Pro Tools. These tracks can be edited (CUT, COPY, PASTE) but should not be further processed with EQ, plug-ins, etc. The tracks can then be routed back into the PSX-100’s AES\/EBU inputs and output via any of the existing analog or digital outputs (ADAT, TDIF, SPDIF, etc.).<\/p>\n
1. Connect PSX-100’s AES\/EBU outputs 1 & 2 to two corresponding AES inputs pairs on your Pro Tools interface.
2. Make sure that DIP switch number 9 on the PSX-100’s back panel is set UP for double-wire x2Fs operation.
3. Press and hold the A\/D SYNC silver button adjacent to the “x2Fs” LED until the LED lights.
4. Create 4 new tracks on Pro Tools and arm them for recording.<\/p>\n
To listen back to the 24\/96 (or 24\/88.2) recording:
1. Place the PSX-100 into either Confidence Monitor mode or Digital Copy mode (see PSX-100 instruction manual for details). The difference between these two modes is that in CM mode, the Pro Tools tracks will be output from the D\/A converter only (and the A\/D converter will function normally). In DIGITAL COPY mode, the Pro Tools tracks will be output from all the digital outputs and the analog outputs (the A\/D converter is not functional in this mode).
2. Make sure that the “x2Fs” LED is lit indicating that the unit is in FAST mode.
3. For D\/A INPUT, select AES 1 and AES 2. In FAST mode, just selecting one or the other will automatically select both.
4. Play back the Pro Tools tracks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[27895],"manufacturers":[33183],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n
