I have my DA7 setup for WCK-In and my Lynx AES-16 card is sending wordclock to it. I was under the impression that whenever I opened a new song in Nuendo that the DA7 would follow the Lynx AES-16 lead and switch sample rates to suit the new song but it doesn't. I have to keep switching things over manually, is this the way it is supposed to operate?

I never needed wordclock cause i set the da7 to be the master.

But surely that means that if you are using a DAW program and record different projects at different sample rates then you have to still switch the 7 between 44.1 and 48 manually

If you are using the wordclock input BNC and have selected it, it should follow. On the D I/O page under "source select", you should see it change.
Make sure you are selected to the source you want to lock to.

Brilliant.

Nope it just doesn't work. If I switch projects in Nuendo going from a 48kHZ sample rate to a 44.1kHZ rate then my Lynx Studio AES-16 automatically switches too. I can check that in the Lynx software-based meter window. However, the DA7 still stubornly stays at the original rate until I go in and maunally change it over . If I forget to do this then it causes the expected clicks on playback which acts as a warning. The clock coming out of the AES-16 is OK and it's definitely going into the right port on the 7 which is terminated by using the small switch at the rear. Anyone??

Be sure that the DA7 isn't running under automation.

It won't allow you to change Fs in a session.

Maric,

I had high hopes that this would cure the problem, but when i checked automation was disabled. BTW, when i receievd the board fom the seller I did a complete factory preset reload, would this have activated something on that could be causing the problem? When I select WCK-IN instead of manually selecting either 44.1 or 48 I do get an "wordcock error message" in the bottom RH corner of the screen and it messes with my AES-16 settings too. Manually selecting the sample rate to suit the song file in Nuendo removes the error code and the songs playback normally.

What version of OS is in the mixer?
It should automatically detect the sample-rate (mine does).
A master re-set shouldn't effect anything.
In fact I'd back-up and re-set it again.
Good luck,

If you're using the DA7's BNC clock input and the computer is the master clock be sure that the DA7 termination switch is set to "on".


If you're clocking to an AES cable from your card to an AES card in the DA7 then "Wordclock in" is the wrong setting. You then have to set the DA7 to slave to the card slot that's receiving the clock.
