Help! My SBD Patch last night was bunk!
« on: June 19, 2003, 10:05:17 AM »
Hey folks,

I tried my first SBD Patch at Particle last night with Wavelab.  I had a monster cable connected to the SPIDF connection into the VXPocket.

I got a weak signal,  but at setbreak I noticed there was nothing there.

Can anyone help??

could be cables, could be board, could be anything really
one time I taped 3 sets and all 3 came out blank.  I deduced it was error on my part and that I must have plugged line out instead of line in on accident :o

So you went SBD -> RCA Out -> VX Pocket?

That's the problem... there's no Analog to Digital conversion.  

Feel free to correct me if that source chain is flawed, but that's what I conclude from the specified information.

Rusty is right about that.  There is nothing telling the computer what sample rate, levels, etc to record in.  Even though the board is sending out levels, your computer won't know how to interpret them.  
You will need an a-d converter to do this successfully since a computer can record only in digital formats, not analog which is what comes from the board.

I went RCA>SPIDF In>VXPocket V2>Wavelab.

I also have Sound Forge 6, but have not gotten the hang of it yet.

yer SPDIF is on the VXPocket, not a separate part.... I think Rusty & Plucks' point is that the VXPocket is expecting a digital signal thru coax and by the sounds of it you were getting analog, unless the SBD was doing your A>D

If this is true, then you shoulda gone SBD RCA > XLR Adapter > VXPocket

Exactly my point.  You should have gone into the balanced analog inputs rather than the spdif. The VX Pocket then would have handled the Analog to Digital conversion... something that was lacking by going from SBD to SPDIF.

Not a cable... an analog to digital converter!

Or a cable if he wants to go RCA > XLR which is what I assume he meant.
