Stable at 10ms with ASIO drivers in X1.

Hi there,
 
Thanks for the message, but what exactly do you mean when you say 'stable at 10ms'?

I've been using my card for quite a while. While my card is on the fritz now, it was working very well in win7 64bit. The beta drivers are good but what concerns me is that they've been in beta since July. It seems that support is lacking. That's why I'm getting a better quality sound card.

Hi there....
 
Thanks for the message. Was everything fully functional? I have  read in some forums where some ppl claimed that some of the controls in pathcmix were greyed out and also some claim not to be to drag the effects and drop into the channel strips. How are thinngs on your end, fully functional?

The effect in patchmix are available if there is enough memory for them. You have a finite amount. I did not find any of them usable though. I did use the reverb for tracking. I did not record the reverb, I just used it for monitoring. I later added reverb in the mix process.

I have a Roland Octa-Capture now. A much better interface, much better. It does not do as much as the 1616m but the OC is a superior interface.

Hi Folks....

Are the 'drivers' the only ones that need to be downloaded or do I also need to download the software for patchmix? Well I have already downloaded and installed the Win 7 'drivers' for 
E-MU from their website, I was than trying to install the 'E-MU Digital Audio System' from the CD  I had since when I bought my 1616. However it's forever in the 'Installation is in progress. Please wait for a while' screen for a long time. Hope someone can advise. Thanks.

Hi Folks,

I just started up my machine, I forgot to switch on the micro dock, so naturally all those channel strips were not activated when I invoked patchmix, that is understandable. I than switched on the the microdock and all the LEDs got turned on, preety strange. I switched off the microdock and shutdown the machine. I restarted the machine and this time I get the blue screen with the message telling me there was a failure, well it was a long message. I rebooted the machine again, this time it went into a system repair mode, after which it tried to boot up, but got hung at the stage just before before the account name appeards prompting the user for password to log in. What should I do now? I did install the Windows 7 beta drivers from the E-MU site and the patchmix software from my disc, as I mentioned in my earlier post. I have not connected my machine to the internet to download the patches for Win 7 OS yet, could that be the problem? I am going to try that now, if anyone of you has any idea of what could be causing the problem I am facing, please do share with me. Thanks.

You need the latest patchmix from E-MU. I think version 2.1.

Hi Guitarpima...

Thanks for the reply. I dont see a version 2.1 in their website. This is what they have:

E-MU Windows 7 USB Beta Driver October 2010 (0202 USB, 0404 USB, Tracker Pre USB)  
E-MU PCI/PCIe Windows 7 Beta Driver - June 2010 (0404/1212M/1616/1616M/1820/1820M)  
E-MU USB Audio Macintosh OS X Snow Leopard Beta Driver - June 2010 (0202 USB, 0404 USB, Tracker Pre)  
ARCHIVE: E-MU Digital Audio System Series PatchMix DSP Application (v1.81)  
ARCHIVE: E-MU Digital Audio Systems Series Driver (v1.82)  
ARCHIVE: E-MU Digital Audio System Series Driver (v 1.71)  
ARCHIVE: E-MU Digital Audio System Series Driver (v 1.6)  
E-MU Digital Audio System Series Driver v2.0 preview (Updated 20-Dec-2007) (Install First)  
E-MU Digital Audio System Series PatchMix DSP v2.0 preview (Updated 11-Sep-2007) (Install Last) 


I have already downloaded and installed  the second item, the driver. Based on the list above, looks like the last item could be the logical option for the latest patch mix. I will try that and see how it goes.

Hi Folks...

Ok I did what I mentioned in the previous message. However I was not able to complete the installation. I was greeted with the following error message:

"Installation is unable to continue because of one or more unresolved issues. Please contact support services and quote "Error I-001" " . If anyone has any ideas as to what is going on, please do let me know. I am a little lost.

Hi Guitarpima...


Yeah I wrote to them last night a while after I posted the problem here. I am waiting for their reply. Also in the meantime I am taking a serious look at Roland's Octa Capture.....
