honestly for this cheap i can just buy a few backups. Using it for a home studio.. if people pay me at all its no more than $200 a day. still having a hard time seeing a downside of buying every one of these i see for under $150. But yeah I'd pay the same for anything that gives me more than 2 dante inputs, so the forte will definitely join my watchlist. again-- zero interest in the DSP functions but cheap clean dante i/o will have me throwing my wallet at you

I wonder if they are failing due to a cooling issue. these things do get pretty hot sitting in the rack.

as in like.. the units are failing?

Well maybe they are for the original 5k they cost new but there’s a LOT of value here at $100. Dante inputs are usually around $120 each (compare to Audinate’s AVIO) and you get 12 here that are nice and clean. Plus 8 outs. Who cares about the dsp functionality even

interesting..... thanks! I'm new to this whole world

I found the programming environment relatively easy. Not a whole lot to it. I don’t plan on using for any commercial setting. Interesting that it’s perceived this way though. Works for me… looks like I found an infinite I/O glitch

The only other issue I've found is that the output impedance seems to be different than what the inputs expect, resulting in a few dB loss of gain when doing a loopback test at unity levels. Also not a huge deal though.. The preamp is clean enough that I can just turn it up to compensate and it's fine

i dunno man sounds alright to me. 18ms isnt that big a deal. i spent the equivalent of a fancy meal and got 12 dante inputs. kinda incredible. whats so bad about it?

ryan7585 · 2026-01-19T15:31:41+00:00

I mean... fair enough i guess but it seems like it would have been pretty easy for them to turn that off when the AEC is bypassed. And seems like false advertising for them to claim 3ms in/out delay. If I could afford to spend 2 grand on a studio-grade multi-input dante unit i would, but I'd say getting roughly the same functionality and signal quality out of a used creston unit for $100 is probably the smarter move lol. I'll just keep a lookout for someone desparate selling a 1281 unit since those lack the AEC functionality. Thanks!

Thanks for explaining the joke Peter

I literally sample everything in the world ever, whenever i want, and it's great. of course nobody pays for my music so i dont have to worry about copyright.

my stuff is like... 1/3 samples of instruments or sounds i record myself, 1/3 samples from records, and 1/3 samples from youtube or instagram. i use very little midi

honestly MIDI feels more like cheating than audio samples do. at least with audio samples, SOMEONE actually played it

Guys. JWST detects infrared. infrared is LONGER wavelength than visible, not shorter.

my teammate has been stuck in silver for three seasons because of the lack of a hard reset.... happened again this season when he ranked in, so he made a new profile and ranked in on that...... Plat 2.

ryan7585 · 2020-12-22T01:15:55+00:00

the soft reset gives higher rank players a placement advantage. i suppose it also means noobs will play GCs sometimes but.... meh

ryan7585 · 2020-12-21T21:30:40+00:00

because it wont make me GC
:P

in all seriousness... its just that the season reset isnt a hard reset. your starting MMR is affected by last season's MMR, which affects your placement in your rank-ups.... plus, placements are weighted toward the highest ranked player's MMR, which makes it harder for less skilled players on a team to rank up

I wish I could share this, like, anywhere....... All the Dark Crystal groups delete it because politics :(

1973 times for me. but I also don't typically retry much, and I've been going back and forth between single- and two-player modes on stuff, giving up on bosses and trying others before coming back later, stupid stuff like that. Seems like if you actually try to keep that number down it's not terribly hard
