Hi Glenn ( @glafountaine ),   Welcome to the community.  What Virtualizer Pro model do you have? There's a 3D FX2000, DSP1000P, and DSP2024P, all of which have slightly different connections.  Basically, you're going to use a pair of Insert cables to connect to the Input 1 and 2 Insert jacks on the back of the 404HD. Something like this: https://hosatech.com/product-category/analog-audio/insert-cables/   We'll work out what specific cables you'll once I can get the model from you.    Ken   Read more

Hi @StewDay ,   Sorry for the delayed reply. I've been buried the last couple of days.    Your understanding of the addresses is correct.  Yes, the Host IP and Controller IP can be the same if you are running XAirRemote and an OSC controller on the same computer, which is what you want to do.     I did some additional testing and my initial thoughts on how the mixer handlled multiple clients was not correct.  I was able to run four instances of XAirRemote, all with the same source IP, all talking to the same mixer without losing any /xremote updates.  You may want to increase the frequency of your /xremote message to around 8 seconds or so just to make sure you are staying subscribed with your MAX patch.    I don't know MAX at all but I'm going to see if I can find a demo of Live I can play with for a little while.    Hope this helps, Ken   Read more

Hi @StewDay ,   Are you running MAX and X-Air Edit on the same PC?  If so, what is happening is the two apps are fighting each other for responses because the "source ip address" is the same for both apps so the mixer will respond to the port from the last message.  If you can, try running X-Air Edit on another PC. You should get your updates in MAX, in X-Air Edit, and on your iPad since they are all subscribing with /xremote but from three different IP addresses.    Hope this makes sense.  Ken   Read more

Hi Sam ( @ArtrexisLives ),   Welcome to the community.  This is going to be a divide and conquer session.  First thing you need to try is a new XLR cable. Then you need to test your mic on another interface and also test your interface with another mic.  If, in the end, the problem stays with the interface, we'll then need to determine if it's a hardware issue or a software issue.  At that point I'd recommend trying to test the interface on a Mac to remove the Windows OS from the equation.    EDIT: Just thought of something else. Check to make sure "Enhancements" didn't get turned on somehow. That can cause similar behavior.    Hope this helps,  Ken   Read more

Hi Jess,   OK. Back to your original question.  You could connect the XLR outputs to something like a UMC202HD but that interface has features that you probably don't need at a cost you may not want to pay.  What bitrate and depth are you using for your podcast?  If you only need 16-bit/44.1K you could come out the control room outputs into a UCA222 using TRS-to-RCA cables.  You'd want to keep those leads short since you're going balanced to unbalanced with this connection.    If you need 24-bit depth or 48K or higher sample rate, the 202HD is the best option but it's nearly 3x the cost.    Hope this helps,  Ken   Read more

Hi Jess ( @Fatlulzradio ),   Welcome to the community.  Check the privacy settings on your Microphone.  "Microphone" is a general term being used for anything that might be able to listen in on you.  (i.e. any audio input)   Go to Settings->Privacy, click on Microphone on the left-hand side, and make sure Microphone access is On and you have granted access to your DAW.    Hope this helps,  Ken   Read more

Hi @techbassist22 ,   Welcome to the community.  I suspect (only a guess) that since the XR18 is also marketed as a stage box, that's the reason the power input isn't on the back.  I stage box is normally positioned XLR connectors up which wouldn't work with the power coming out the back. As far as the power switch on the front that would more than likely bury the power button within a web of XLR/TRS cables, making it tough to get to and also suspectible to accidental bumping.  I have an XR18 in a studio rack and I have it connected to a PDU that sequences the rack equipment up in a specific order with programmable delays in between and the PDU is then connected to the mains through a power conditioner.    Hope this makes sense.  Ken   Read more

Hi Tom,    I did a litle more exploring in the Reaper audio settings and I can reproduce exactly what you are seeing.  Under audio settings in Reaper there's an option to close the audio device when Reaper is stopped and Inactive.    This is what allows other applications like Chrome to work when I click away from Reaper.  I've also discovered if I start Reaper first at 48K with that option unchecked (i.e. Reaper won't let go of the interface) YT will still play 44.1K videos without changing the samplerate to 44.1K.  Not sure how that works but it must be some transcoding function within Chrome or at YT before delivery.    As the old saying goes... "There's a lot of moving parts in this machine.".    Ken   Read more

Hi @StewDay and @RexBeckett ,   It isn't the transmission port you have to be able to set it's the receiving or listening port you have to be able to hold open.  The X32 and XAir mixers send their messages back to the source port as defined by the last received message.  In other words any simple send and disconnect will never work since the source port (a random port chosen by the system) is immediately closed after the send.  What XAirRemote does is opens a "connection" to the XAir mixer by sending a /xinfo message and then it holds onto the source port (i.e. doesn't close the connection).  All future messages including /xremotenfb are sent through the already established connection therefore the source port always stays the same, at least throughout the connection.    Why not just run an instance of XAirRemote and have your MAX code talk to that since XAirRemote supports pre-defined send and receive ports?   Hope this helps,  Ken       Read more
