View Full Version : Digital distortion problem

I'm running a Lynx ONE and LS-ADAT together in Cubase SX 5 at
16/44.1. I'm using a Behringer ADA 8000 in slave mode as an ADAT
expansion. Four tracks coming into the LS-ADAT from the Behringer
have a slight amount of distortion that doesn't sound like the
familiar analog type. Its somewhat crackly and sporadic. I'm using
all 6 inputs on the Lynx ONE and all 8 from the Behringer at once, and
it also seems that the last 4 channels (channels 5-8) on the Behringer
are the ones with distortion. Is this a bandwidth issue with the
Behringer? Is there anything I can do about it? Might it be
anything else?

What levels are you running at? It's possible the Behringer gets ugly
well below 1 dBFS, or it gets ugly at low levels.
