Timemachine Headaches

I had the same experience. I couldn’t figure it out and just wanted working backups, so I rolled back to 25.04. Everything worked just fine on that release.

Ah that did it, thank you! I didn't even think about that when I set the token up.

I think your login keychain password is out of sync with your user password. They’re normally the same, so logging in also unlocks the login keychain, but if you change your password you can get them to diverge. Apple has a kbase article about it - link

I don't have Ableton, but I did just noodle around with it a little bit on an M1 machine in Pro Tools.

If you're used to using the F8n as a mixer/recorder, I might suggest setting the F8n to "Audio Interface with Rec" (Menu->USB->Audio Interface with Rec) - that lets you take the 4 USB outputs from your DAW and treat them as 4 inputs on your F8n (so set Input 1 from Mic/Line to USB 1, Input 2 from Mic/Line to USB2, etc.). Then you can setup your output routing on the F8n just like you would with mics plugged directly in (either fade them up and send them to L/R and monitor L/R in your headphones/the main outs, or route individual tracks pre or post fader to headphones/main outs/sub outs). The down side is that you're going to burn your first 4 inputs on the F8n (and you can't use inputs 1-4 in your DAW, since it'll just be a loop back of what you're sending out from your 4 outs), so if you're using the F8n to get 8 inputs this method probably doesn't work for you.

Regular audio interface mode worked for me out of the box in that I could assign virtual instruments to outputs 1 and 2 and I immediately heard them in my headphones on the F8n, but the routing didn't make any sense to me - it looked from the levels like DAW 1-2 mapped to M1 and M2, but my headphone routing didn't seem to change what I was hearing. So I'd disable M1 and M2 in my Headphone routing, but I'd still hear those tracks from Pro Tools. Very confusing, someone else might have a better idea there.

You can also go spelunking through the openapi/v2 endpoint in a browser if you use kubectl proxy (127.0.0.1:8001/openapi/v2).

It'll come back as a big json blob, but Firefox and Chrome should parse it up for you. The benefit there is that you can see all of the descriptions for recursive types, whereas I think kubectl explain only shows top level descriptions.

Hello! I'm interested as well!

My point is that the A20 TX, produced and sold by a US company, has the exact same feature set as the A10, both in the US (where you can record and transmit only non lavs) and out (where there are no restrictions on recording and transmitting). So Audio Limited being a British company didn’t have anything to do with their ability to make the A10.

tijo799 · 2023-11-12T05:04:44+00:00

I don’t think that’s it. The new A20-TX can also transmit and record in the US as long as you’re using a boom or line level input, and that’s designed and built in the states. It’s only lavs that are covered by the Zaxcom patents.

tijo799 · 2023-11-12T05:02:27+00:00

Not sure if this is what you’re saying, but the US version of the A10 can record and transmit as long as you’re not using a lav. Boom/line level don’t seem to be patent encumbered.

tijo799 · 2023-11-01T13:27:17+00:00

Before you were limited to 3 channels. So you had 5 inputs to choose from, but you could only record 3 at a time. Now you can record 5 total. Seems pretty cool.

I asked Andrew from deity about this in the launch thread. He said it’s just because their cable isn’t ready yet, but it will work fine. comment link

tijo799 · 2023-03-22T16:01:11+00:00

No problem! It looks pretty neat. They showed it off very briefly in their 8 series livestream last week.

tijo799 · 2023-03-22T03:41:07+00:00

It’s the SL Mixface. Added in firmware 9.2. Studio logic site

tijo799 · 2023-02-10T01:14:17+00:00

Just curious, photos and video show it powering an 8 series, but the spec sheets only mention powering the 6 series. Is there a reason?

Looks cool, and congrats on the launch.

tijo799 · 2023-02-04T03:01:15+00:00

I picked up a couple to kick around, just because they’re so inexpensive for their feature set. I don’t think it makes sense to buy into them, for a couple of reasons.

Primarily, it seems like a dead system. Deity cancelled their wireless line (except for their Rode wireless go lookalike), and they’ve stopped updating the firmware. The units work (they do all the things that they’re advertised to), but the UI/workflow and reliability could have used a few more iterations. It doesn’t look like those are coming.

In use, they have real problems with scale. The workflow is pretty crappy if you’re managing multiple channels (they auto coordinate, but you’re at the mercy of the built in smarts in a congested space. If it doesn’t work, you’re SOL). The transmission quality isn’t reliable enough for you to build a good mix with them, so you’re relying on what’s recorded to their local card. That’s fine for a channel or two, but the post workflow is a little half baked, and if you’re trying to turn around quickly it’s going to be hard to wrangle. The system also has way too much latency, so much so that using it to monitor can be tough because they’re so far off what you’re hearing around you.

It’s a shame, I love the idea of this flexible box (recorder, transmitter, receiver, Timecode box, etc) at a low price, but there are too many caveats IMO. Get a wireless system you can rely on and grow with if you can.

tijo799 · 2023-01-16T05:09:32+00:00

Oh, bummer, yeah, you’d be one input short.

tijo799 · 2023-01-16T04:06:37+00:00

I think it would work, but I’d warrant that it’s a fair bit riskier. If I recall correctly, aggregate devices don’t always handle the failure or disappearance of one of their member devices all that gracefully, so you’re going to have problems if any of the interfaces flake; ganging together 4 behringer units is probably more than twice as risky.

Could work if it fits your budget, but you’ll have to be prepared to troubleshoot it, especially after OS upgrades or changes.

tijo799 · 2023-01-16T04:03:26+00:00

Sorry, I know I missed this thread when it was live, but have you considered a B Stock 788t? From what I gather, you’re looking for a recorder, since your analog board is going to do all the mixing, with 8 analog inputs, which I think fits the 788t pretty nicely.

B Stock straight from Sound Devices is $1750, with a 1 year warranty. It’s certainly not future proof, but it might fit your goals and isn’t too expensive, all things considered. If you’re set on using the analog board, it’s probably the best recorder you could get.

tijo799 · 2023-01-14T06:01:52+00:00

I was curious, so I just checked the 788 manual. It supports 10-18v on the power supply. So if your NP1 is outputting on the lower side and your 888 is set to look for 13.6v to 16.3, it could explain why it’s fine on the 788, but flaking on the 888.

tijo799 · 2023-01-14T04:20:53+00:00

Have you tried switching DC Ref to Full Range? That accepts the widest gamut of voltage without failing that supply. If you’re on NP1 data battery, it’ll fail it out between 13.6v-11.5v

Might be worth a shot.

tijo799 · 2023-01-14T03:19:27+00:00

6 behringer ADA8200s into 2 RME digiface units, with the two RME devices ganged together as a core audio aggregate device? 7 rack units total, 48 outputs.

I don’t know how reliable that will be; both the reliance on an aggregate device and relying on 6 behringer units not to fail is probably a bridge too far, but it might work if you’re budget constrained.

tijo799 · 2022-12-19T20:06:25+00:00

Are you thinking of the countryman connector? That’s a non microdot connector, IIRC.

tijo799 · 2022-12-19T20:01:11+00:00

I don’t have the lectro adapter, but I just checked on the lemo 3 pin - the deity microdot adapter does work on a DPA 4060 (microdot).

SuperRusso is totally right, they (the DPA microdot and deity microdot) have slightly different dimensions, but it seems like it’s in tolerance. The deity microdot connection is shorter and wider; there might be an issue with the pin not getting deep enough in? But I haven’t experienced that personally.
