Lucid R3-- transparent mic preamp with optional jfet based harmonic drive. As well it has a tuneable high pass(5hz to 1khz), tuneable low pass(20k to 500hz), polarity,phantom power and de-pop circuit.

Hello all,

It's hell that this happens on a weekend without access to tech support . so you all can help me :D .

Just received my first ever outboard AD (Lucid 9624). Was anxious to try it out...hooked it up in between my Benchmark MPS420 pre and Masterlink. Everything is plugged into a Furman PL8, BTW...

I know the converters in the Lucid are obviously nicer
than M Audio but take into account that the latter is about half
the price.

Anyone heard both?
I'd appreciate your opinions.

Thanks for your time.

I posted this in recforums with little feedback:

When I purchased the 800, everybody said it was hands down a better clock. So I have the 800 as master, with a cable to the
Lucid Genx6 which distributes to everything else in the studio.

This seems a bit kludgey.

Is this unit better than the Apogee ad 16x?

Thanks.

I'm thinking of going to external converters. I track on a Mackie SDR and mix in Sonar, would probably use externals for tracking bass into the SDR if possible. I'd love to have the budget for Rosettas, not this year! A friend is using RME's, loves them. Opinions on either one? Thanks.

I am currently using a MOTU 2408 MKII and am interested in upgrading the converters for at least two channels. I have spent a considerable amount of time getting the MOTU linked my PC running Cubase and my Yamaha O1v (ADAT Lightpipe), and I don't want to trash this set up. I am looking at the Lucid 2496 or the Apogee Rosetta.

Hi,

I coulda sworn I saw a post on here recently about changing the resistor values on the outputs of the Lucid GENx6 wordclock generator, in order to allow it to drive a Waves L2. Something about the L2's WC input requiring a higher peak-to-peak voltage than other gear.

Does anyone know the specifics of this resistor mod? I can't find it anywhere for the life of me.

Hi Guys: I can't figure this one out. Please help me. My set up is: d8b,lucid genx6,lucid A/D9624, and a 2408. My problem: I'm getting noise on the left side of the S/PDIF input on the 2408(S/PDIF 1). Spdif 2 works perfectly. It's not the A/D9624. I can take the S/PDIF out of the 9624 and go to a DAT and it's clean. I can also take the AES/EBU out and that is clean.
