Hi Moses

We have tested the RME equipment and have had no problems with this equipment.

Hey Sam ,

Thanks for the reply,on the display pic there are two cards should we buy both or just one pci card for computer, one card is got madi i/o and fibre optic out , the other card is got midi and madi card so please let me know about this

When you buy the HDSP MADI - you get both PCI cards included in the box, fit them both to the PC the main PCI board does the MADI I/O - the second is a mini extender PCI connector board that connects to the Main PCI board. This enables you to have MIDI and Wordclock IN/OUT aswell.

is it quiet big process to assign channels to play back and record all the channels for a virtual sound check

Hi Moses

Please read the Understanding MADI guide on our website i have attached a link below. Hopefully this will help you.

It is relatively simple to setup a record and playback system with iLive as long as you know how to configure the system correctly.

I would suggest configuring 2 scenes 1 for record and 1 for playback.

Record Scene 1

input source = Mixrack inputs, Outputs = PortB - set to either ‘mixrack inputs’ or ‘input direct out’ send to the recording device.

Playback Scene 2

input source = Port B inputs from recorder
