Hi Alfredo
Yeah, I've done all that with the consumer/pro thing. Event said
"we'll pass your comments onto our software developers" and I've
heard nothing since. Not that I blame them, particularly, on the
whole they've been better with product support than most people and
have always at least responded to my emails. I guess that things like
this don't come up very often as the Gina is more of a semi-pro than
a pro card (they'll catch a lot more flak if the Layla has these
sorts of problems as well though!).
Gareth.
Gareth...just guessing...: have you tried swithing back and forth the Consumer or Pro
option for Gina s/pdf under Gina's drivers? Some people also have comented that they
had
to re-start Windows for that to be effect...Not in case, but maybe in yours...who
knows...What does Event says about it?

Hi Alfredo
Thanks for the reply. I don't think it's a problem with the sampler,
as I've been told by someone else that they had problems using the
S/PDIF I/O for data (rather than audio) transfer too - in fact, it
was this person who suggested doing the the 20bit-16bit file
conversion thing to work around the problem. It's possible that the
Akai S/PDIF implementation is slightly different from the norm,
although as far as I know most people have no problems backing up
data to DAT recorders using the Akai's S/PDIF connections. That's
what makes me think that it must be the Gina at fault.

Hi Gareth...I am using Gina for mixing to a DA-30, MKII dat recorder, then
transfer
digitally back to my audio editing sequencer (Cakewalk Pro Audio 7.01), adding
some
mastering...SoundForge, Wavelab...and then back to the DA-30 digital, no problem
at
all...I have heard than some older stuff have some differences into how they
implement the S/Pdif configurations...i.e., older DA-30s had such limitations and
one was unable to make digital transfers among the dat recorder and a digital
card
but only if removing some internal jumper, very trickiy stuff only to be handled
with a manual at your side...
In my own case, the dat recorder automatically recognizes 44.1 or 48hz from the
Gina...Perhaps you should check your sampler ?? Just guessing and trying to
help

Hi people
Just a quick mail to introduce myself to the list. My name's Gareth
Metford, I'm in Preston in the UK and I have been using an Event Gina
for about 3 months. I've had a fair few problems with it but
everything seems to be running pretty smoothly now (fingers
crossed!). I'm using a P133/32Mb/3.2Gb, and other equipment in my
studio includes an Akai S2800 4Mb w/digital I/O, Novation
BassStation, Alesis Quadraverb+ and...that's about it. I was
wondering if other Gina users had been having problems
performing data transfers using the Gina's S/PDIF I/O? I've been
using Wavelab to record data dumps from my sampler, but I've found
that the only way to do this effectively is to record the data at
20-bit resolution, then convert it to 16-bit before returning it to
the sampler. Someone told me that there is a problem with the Gina
S/PDIF input, which involves the last bit of the signal being
replaced with a random '0' or '1'. Any further information would be
very gratefully received!
Regards,
Gareth
