Focusrite 18i8 and aura big problems

Post by acaonweb » Fri May 23, 2014 4:07 pm

Hi guys,
i've a brand new 18i8 interface and i'm having lot of problem with aura.
The sound is glitchy and distorted, i've updated to the new firmware.

COnnecting to a mac and logic, the sound is good
But not with aura


I think i've to do something with Scarlett MixControl but i can't resolve.There is someone is using it?
Maybe can save the configuration and send it to me?

Please help i can't find anyone can help me!!!

Fabrizio, not sure if this will help but these are the settings on my 18i8 for my current input devices. I have no problems with Auria at all. It runs perfectly.

Fabrizio,

I have Scarlet MixControl 1.7.128.0 and Driver 2.5.1 API 3.0
Firmware version 608.

I haven't updated it since purchase a few months ago. I use my Windows 7 desktop PC to update and save the configuration as and when I make any changes. Save To Hardware works ok from my PC and I can disconnect the 18i8 and plug it back again without any loss of the setup. I don't think my files will be any use to you as I understand you are using a Mac.

Fabrizio, hi there again. I've just been experimenting with the Auria and seemed to have created the problems you have experienced with the intermittent audio. I have no technical understanding of why it happens but i can repeat it over and over again. I have found that if I have the 18i8 plugged into my desktop PC to make adjustments to the channels etc and then plug the 18i8 into the IPad I get the intermittent sounding audio. To rectify the situation I pause the audio on Auria and then unplug the USB connection to the 18i8. After a few seconds I plugg the USB lead back in again and the problem disappears. I have know explanation why it works but try it out.

By any chance are you using an iPad 2, 3, or original Mini? If you are, this may be the Core Audio bug which has been discussed many times in the past. There is no cure (other than to get an iPad 4 or Air). All iPad apps are affected by this bug.

To eliminate delay turn off monitor in the auria settings.

As mentioned previously, it sounds like you are monitoring both through Auria as well as the 18i8. Have you tried disabling monitoring in Auria? This is done by setting 'Record Monitor' to off in the Record settings.

Ok
But there is a bigger problem. Infact save to hardware works until the 18i8 is powered on
If I power off, all the settings are lost

I need help, I don't know why.
