Re: [gina-users] digital clicks problem

What version of the driver are you using? This sounds like a known
problem with the early drivers. Max level on the spdif input caused a
'wrap around' error as they put it. Try 2.05 available on the web site.
If this is the reason then everthing you have recorded over spdif will
have the stereo channels 1 sample out of phase too which is devastating
to any kind of mono compatability (this includes most surround systems).

 OK, Neal, I understand - thanks!
 I guess that Gina is such a great card, whats to complain about!
 
 However,I have a question for the list;
 
 My GIna is working perfectly in the Analogue domain, both for record and
 play - no complaints and the quality is great!
 
 However - when transferring to and from Dat in the digital domain, I am
 experiencing pops and clicks in the audio - now the strangeness of this
 problem is that the greater my .wav amplitude the greater and more frequent
 the clicks! On a silent passage it is perfect. This problem happens across
 all software platforms. ( I am using it in SAW Plus, CPA and Cool Edit)
 
 Previous to installing Gina I was doing perfect digital transference using
 my Adb Multiwav card, no problems like this.
 
 My system is optimised, in fact if it wasnt I am sure I'd be experiencing
 this same problem on the analogue side as well, which I am not.
 I have disabled the monitor on option on the Gina driver, makes no diff - am
 using it in  professional mode, have the same problem when using different
 Dat machines -
 
 Anyone else experiencing this same problem?
 
 Thanks
 
 Trish

  Hi there! Have you tried switching its internal clock to S/pdif while
transferring from and to the Dat player?

Re: [gina-users] digital clicks problem

Hey - thanks to all those who suggested solutions to my digital clicks
problem...
I have the latest drivers, 3.08, even tried it with earlier ones, same
problem.
I have tried it with alternating clock source between Internal and S/Pdif  -
no difference.
Now this occurs on straight digital audio transferred from dat to PC before
any editing is done on it so its not from splicing.

Now the clicks are very faint, but are still audible - and there is also a
noted difference in quality between the original audio off the Dat to the
one that I record - there almost seems to be some sort of harshness,
distortion even on the upper frequencies on the PC version - ( my levels are
fine, this is not normal distortion)  I am beginning to wonder whether this
could be some sort of a dither problem on the 16 - 24bit input converters?

Like I said, I get this problem no matter what Wav Application program I
use so its not generic to any software.
I also notice it seems to only happen when I transfer from Dat to PC, not
the other way around.

Any further suggestions, guys?

Thanks!
Trish

Hey Trish,

What program are you using to record into.  I notice with Soundforge XP that
there were regular clicks at intervals associated with caching or something.
It even mentions this in the help file.  Recording with Cool Edit Pro or
Samplitude, you don't get the clicks.  SF XP is apparently intended as an
editor, not a recorder, and maybe this is true with other editors too?

I've not tried 3.08 but I know that a bug which was fixed in 2.05c was
present again in 3.05 so latest is not always best. All I know is that
2.05c solved a similar prob at this end.
