I recently set up my Firestudio Project and Firestudio Tube in a daisy chain configuration. I have installed Universal Control 1.7.2. I am using a Mac Mini running OS 10.9.5 with Core i5 processor and 8GB RAM. I am also running Pro Tools 11/3/1. All is fine with the Firestudios; I can monitor clean signals on each.
The problem is when I open Pro Tools it appears that there is some redundancy in the outputs resulting in a horribly distorted signal with a bunch of delay. I Have looked through several forums and haven't found a solution. I am hesitant to contact Avid about this but will if I can't find any answer here. |
All is fine with the Firestudios; I can monitor clean signals on each. Then it does indeed sound like the problem is with Pro Tools. Have you tried the Firestudios with other DAWS or audio programs? I am hesitant to contact Avid about this but will if I can't find any answer here That may well be your best bet.

Hi there.
I was about to post a very similar situation. I've the exact same problem but with a Firestudio Project and a Firestudio Lightpipe. Using latest UC drivers (v.1.72) and firmware with a 8 core Mac Pro 2009 and OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 I've tried using the onboard FW800 ports and also a FW400 on a T.I FW400/800 PCIe card. Same results. The problem isn't related exclusively to Pro Tools, i'm using Studio One 2.6.5 with the exact same results. Only the master unit sounds ok. The slaved one (through FW connection) sounds horribly distorted (digital distortion/artifact). But live monitored signal is ok, so there's something wrong with the actual FW data into core audio. When FPS is set to master FSLP Firewire blue led flashes and there's distortion on all recorded FSLP channels. When FSLP is set to master FPS apparently locks ok (steady blue led) but - distortion on all recorded FPS channels. I've tried every possible variation but the issue persists. I'm pretty sure we're dealing with a Firmware/Driver issue. Let's hear Presonus support.

Exactly! The Master unit is fine and the Slave is not. You can switch the master in UC and get the same result for Master (clean) and Salve (Distorted) The other thing I noticed is that the signal on the slave is not distorted at the unit, if you were to headphone monitor it.
I had not used this config for several months, but recently completed building my studio and was all jazzed to rig up the gear, and this happened... Anxious to hear from Presonus.Thanks for everyones' input (pun...) Jay |
Exactly... the problem is i'm not getting a word from Presonus. Which means that they don't care or don't have a solution to offer.
But let's be patient before dumping at least one of their Firestudios. |
