Jack Norflus Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 For the most part any card will work. But Transcend or SanDisc are easy to obtain. Just make sure you buy your cards from a reputable dealer since counterfeit cards do exist. FYI I've been using transcend 133X 32Gb cards with zero issues.

Do they achieve the 10MB/s sustained write speed stated in the manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miramontes Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 What version software are you running? Sound like you are running some older version that will not give you the same routing flexibility. If so you will need to update your software. I'm on version 4.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm on version 4.00 OK that explains it. Changes to the routing came, and don't quote me, around 4.11 or so. So I would recommend upgrading to 4.45 or 5.11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miramontes Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Which is most stable? 4.45? Thanks for the help Jack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Woodcock Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have been on 5.11 for 2 weeks and no problems YMMV Regards Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Which is most stable? Both are very reliable. But if I had to pick I would say 5.11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Do they achieve the 10MB/s sustained write speed stated in the manual? I just confirmed with Howy and with the newer software the write speed shouldn't matter any more. So any card should work at 96k. But please do a record test first.

rb1138 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I guess this is another beginner question but how exactly do I set a limiter (for the card tracks) in the Nomad? I see the "card compressor parameters" page but I think the manual thinks I'm smarter than I am and that I actually know how to set this up. Don't see anything called "Limiter" in the manual except for the inputs...sort of. I just want an invisible, emergency limiter for peaks only. I intend to use card attenuation at all times and avoid limiting as much as possible. Never liked the sound of limiters. I have Nomad Lite 5.11.

rb1138 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 menu>eng setup>compressor enable i keep all outputs and card tracks brickwalled at -2dBFS. You're talking about the threshold right? Does it affect the peaks only? I mean it is called a "compressor". Wondering if it works like the ones in Pro Tools. Do you touch "gain" at all?

Jack Norflus Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 The compressor can be a "limitter" just set the ratio high - like 20:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 The threshold is when the compressor or "limiter" will kick in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miramontes Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Since I've upgraded to 4.45 I've noticed the slate menu is its own section. So, if I have Bus1 as my mix and tracks 2-9 as pre-fade isos would I be correct in putting an X on Card Track1 in the "slate card enable" menu if that's where I want it to be? Reason I ask is that I don't see levels when I push the slate button. I do have it set to Internal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Yes. Just go to the bus menu and select "Slate Enables" in which you would select which track or tracks you want your slate sent to. The below example would route slate to just card track one.

Jack Norflus Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Now if you want to route slate to your output buses you would go to the "Output Bus Assign" and select "S" to route slate to the buses you want slate sent to. The below example has slate routed to output busses 1 and 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 While we re in question mode here: Is there a way to route the rec/stop beep to tape/ifb? No there isn't. Though I am sure that this would be easy enough to add in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if it works like the ones in Pro Tools. Do you touch "gain" at all? Sawrab yeah a limiter is just a compressor with a high ratio. i keep my outputs and card tracks at -2dBFS with a 20:1 ratio. of course gain is used, the limiter just prevents outputs and card tracks from clipping, as neverclip only applies to the inputs.

I mean the gain setting in the "Compressor Parameters Page". I feel like I should leave it at 0 since the whole point is to keep the dB down. I was looking for some limiter settings. I realized this is basically a soft knee limiter like the one in the 788. I found a post with your settings somewhere around here. Think I'll go with that one, at least for now while I figure out which one I like. Attack: 2ms Decay: 80ms Thresh: -2dB Ratio: 20.0:1 Gain: 0db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 The gain is a make-up gain which will add gain to compensate for the "compressed" signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miramontes Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Now if you want to route slate to your output buses you would go to the "Output Bus Assign" and select "S" to route slate to the buses you want slate sent to. The below example has slate routed to output busses 1 and 2 This is what I was looking for. It solved my issue. Thanks So, just so I'm clear on this. Slate Enable allows the slate to be on the Card track however you must also assign it via the Output Bus Assign in order to hear/see levels, right?
