I/O Setup Plug-in No Sound!

Hi everyone,

I recently bought an expansion device which is Behringer ADA8200 in order to expand my existing Apogee Element 24 audio interface.

I'm a guitar player and I have a rack system that includes some studio devices such as TC2290, DBX160a, etc.

Once I've recorded my guitar sound, I just want to add some delay using my TC2290 rack unit, that's my main problem here.

This is my currently setup and I already connected all the devices as below;

I'm using Logic Pro X 10.0.6 and this is my I/O Settings on Apogee Element 24.

As you can see I set the Clock Source as Optical, I also tried Word or Internal.

And this is my I/O setup on Logic Pro.

When I play this channel, I do not receive any sound or any interaction on DBX160A. It suppose to be a loop between this channel and DBX.

I'm quite new for home studio recording and actually stuck at this point.

I've tried a lot and I don't know what I have to do right now. Do you have any idea about that?

Thanks...

In your diagram you have Word clock going out from the Apogee to the Behringer as a Master. No need to use that if you're going optical.

Also, putting the Element as main clock source in the mixer makes the Word connection pointless.

Besides, the Apogee has a better clock than the Behringer.

You can test signal using an Oscillator to see if it reaches the DBX. Do you see the lights move on it?

@triplets

Thank you for the info!

I actually changed my Word Clock connection like;

Apogee Element Word Clock [OUT] ~> Behringer [iN] (Sorry for the diagram has a wrong connection)

and I set the main source Apogee which has better Word Clock as you said.

@JakobP

I've tried out with SOLO/without SOLO and nothing happened.

I recently watched a video on YouTube and there is a guy who has almost the same Audio interface that I have and he was trying to connect the Behringer ADA8200 like me. I realized that there is only one difference between us that he has 2 Optical Cable unlike me. So I ordered the second Optical Cable.

I guess if you want to use the rear outputs of Behringer, you also need to have a connection between these two devices. So, what I have now;

Apogee Toslink(Optical) [iN] ~> Behringer Toslink(Optical) [OUT]

&

Behringer Toslink(Optical) [iN] ~> Apogee Toslink(Optical) [OUT]

AND FINALLY, I GOT THE SOUND! but this is not related to the second optical cable!

I just disabled the "Analog In-Optical Out" button, that's it. :facepalm:

Thank you again for your help and quick support!

I think I have a similar issue .. I also have an UMC1820 hooked up to an ADA8200, and I think everything's cabled correctly.  The issue is that I can hear the synths connected to the 1820 just fine (when selecting that particular track and playing the keyboard I mean), but I can only get audio from the gear connected to the ADA8200 by hitting "record" in Logic Pro... Is it supposed to work this way ..?

It depends on your monitoring settings? I recommend the following settings, then you should be able to R-enable an audio track to monitor its input: 

Hi David,

I think it's all sorted now  Apparently I had to set the ADA8200 as master... it was set set to slave before. But also the monitoring was a good tip, I finetuned my settings a little.  Thanks for the help!  We live to learn I guess

Oh great! Good to hear you found out what the issue was. Thanks for letting us know.
