Hm...does the Lynx/Edirol/Whatever software or hardware meters move on the input the device is connected to? That is, does the soundcard "see" signal coming in from the device and it's just Sonar that doesn't?

I also have a Lynx Aurora, I haven't tried external inserts since I haven't used X2 extensively yet, but it's on my list of things to try soon.  I'll report back on how it goes when I get a chance to try it.

Hey Dean, just a quick update:

I did get it to work finally with the FA-66 by simplifying my in/out options, but so far I cannot get the Lynx to cooperate.

I believe it is a "Lynx Mixer" or "Remote" setting issue...

I can never seem to get it routed to work...

Do you use the Aurora Remote GUI thing?

If you have time maybe you can tell me how yours is set up...

I have tried not using it, uninstalling and re-installing stuff...and considered just using some of my out board digital stuff and staying in the digital domain but that completely waste the point of having some of this gear.

I guess I need to get over my commitment fears and just track it the way I want it and be done.

You have been helpful so far (I'll keep you in the loop on Brandons stuff, he might have demo units available that you could try out or get a discount on, let me know if you are interested)...

Thanks.

Hey Pbb,
I'll have a look at my Lynx mixer when I get to the studio later today.

Oh, and please do let me know if there are some demo Mohogs that are available, it would be much appreciated.

More info later...

Hi PBB,
So after looking at my Lynx mixer, it really shouldn't take too much setup in here to get EI's to work. Here's a bit of a step-by-step:

Add the EI plug to the fx window and choose ins and outs. Here's how mine looks when configured for a 2-1176. In the send and return dropdowns you'll see the friendly names, but those correspond to input 3/4 and output 3/4.




Now in the Lynx mixer in the Record/Play window you should see channels light up in green when in use by ASIO. So when you use an output pair as the send for an EI it should light up in green like this:




Once signal starts going to an output pair you should see the meters bounce in the output window:




(the kind of confusing thing here is that in the output window they number in pairs but in the Record/Play window they don't, so in the Record/Play window you'll see output 3/4 and in the Output window you'll see Digital out 2L and 2R.

Once that's been verified I'd make sure that my outboard gear was getting signal by looking at the meters. So on an 1176 switch the metering to show the output signal and make sure that signal is traversing the unit.

Next check your Lynx control panel to see if signal is arriving. Back in the Record/Play window look for the meters to bounce on the appropriate input pair:




If you're seeing signal on the input pair that means that the Aurora is seeing it and, assuming that you have the correct input pair specified in the EI plug, you should see signal into Sonar.
