			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Folks,
I'd just like to report in that I finally upgraded my computer hardware and o/s (win 7 professional 64-bit), crossed my fingers and hoped for the best with the Dakota 3.16 beta driver:   ASIO has been relatively stable with Sonar X1c (WDM, forget about it).  I've experienced a few crashes but I couldn't tell you where the blame lies - Sonar, Dakota driver, plugins or o/s.   I have 64 and 32 bit Sonar X1c installed and things are more stable with the 64bit.  In 32-bit, Sonar sometimes prompts me to re-config the Dakota in Preferences.  Overall it's not as stable as my old XP SP2 with the older drivers but I'm just pleased to be able to keep my 2 Tango 24s in service for a while longer; I may yet go for that BLA mod.
Many thanks to Frontier Design and the author of the driver.
John]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Hey wegguy,

thanks for the tip and now i realize why a lot of people missed out and the explaination of the the recording not working.

As you have mentioned the you use the ADAT function via lightpipe.

Which you have confirmed works.

I am using analog 1/4 plugs from my DJ mixer output to 1/4" input of my tango24.

SUPPORT FOR FRONTIER DESIGN PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SO YOU MAY UNDERSTAND THE BUG REPORT.......

App: Soundforge 10.0c
OS: Windows 7 (X64) Ultimate
Soundcard: Dakota with 2 x Tango24

In any audio application audio device setting i get 4 selections
1) Microsoft Sound Mapper

2) Windows Classic Wave Driver (WDM I presume)

3) Asio Dakota (16)

4) Asio Dakota (24)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

When Using the following here are the results

1) Microsoft Sound Mapper [not applicable]

2) Windows Classic Wave Driver (WDM I presume) [AUDIO PLAYBACK - WORKS ----- AUDIO RECORDING - FAILS]

3) Asio Dakota (16) [AUDIO PLAYBACK - WORKS ----- AUDIO RECORDING - WORKS]

4) Asio Dakota (24) [AUDIO PLAYBACK - FAILS ----- AUDIO RECORDING - FAILS]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems like most users here on the board uses ADAT mode  which is Asio Dakota (16) or (32) ---------- which is why the complaints are a bit minimal when it comes to recording.

I have used Windows Classic Wave Driver (WDM I presume) mode from the first day i bought my Dakota which has made my setup easier.

100% Windows Classic Wave Driver (WDM I presume) fails on recording using Windows 7 (x64) drivers and any x64 OS.

Confirmed, your Dakota control panel works on boot up and no longer crashes.

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[The 16 bit recording worked fine as soon as I backed off from the 24 bit settings that I had been using with XP. I record through a Mackie 8-bus mixer feeding 8 analog channels into a Behringer ADA8000 8 channel A/D-D/A converter that operates at 24 bits. The ADA sends 8 digital channels via ADAT lightpipe to Dakota. Dakota also sends 8 digital channels to the ADA, which is how the ADA gets its sync. Sonar 8.5 is running the show on my PC which has an Intel i7 processor.

Some of these things may be obvious, but: make sure you have the Windows 7 x64 Dakota driver, and that all your hardware and software settings are compatible. Get all posible user's manuals, troubleshooting guides, forum posts, etc. that apply to your hardware and software, and dig through them for clues. There are a large number of settings, some of which are hidden, that can screw things up. 

It's very easy to miss the one tweak out of 20 that fixes the problem, and unfortunately I don't know what that would be in your case. With some persistent sleuthing you should be able to nail it eventually.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[hey wegguy,

How did you get your 16-bit audio to work?  Is it coming from an analog source?

Even with the beta drivers, i cannot get any of my analog recordings to work.

When i record in window 7 (x64) i get this weird digital noise of the track i am recording.

However, in windows 7 (x86) it works no problem.

Am i missing something hear?

i even tried different systesm (dell precision 690, 490, dell dimension e520, white box with MSI motherboard, ASUS motherboard, intel processors, AMD processors) it all gives me the same results.

I hate to revert back to Windows 7 (x86) because my Adobe Premiere only works on x64 and i use the dakota to record.  I am using Soundforge 10 to record my analog (vinyl) from my pioneer djm-500 mixing board.  

Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated to get at least my 16-bit analog recording to work in windows 7 x64]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I made the switch to Windows 7 x64 and have installed the corresponding beta driver for Dakota. It works well for 16 bit recording, but any attempt to record at 24 bits produces a blast of ugly noise. My A/D converters operate at 24 bits, so I'd like to be able to record at that resolution. 24 bit recording worked fine under Windows XP and the XP driver, but I'm not going back to that. Since I can still record at 16 bits, this isn't a show stopper, but it's a thorn in my side. I know there was a warning about possible problems with 24 bit recording, and I suppose that's it. If this gets fixed, I'd like to know about it right away.]]></content>

The latest drivers are working for Windows 64bit, but I needed to know how to route the In/Outs of my Audio Interface (Zulu/Tango24 + Dakota) - Used in Reason - and I cannot route to hear my Inputs in the monitor that is assigned to B1-B2 going to Master L/R Out.

But I cannot my Vocal (Line INs routed to Channel 5 L/R on mixer), how can I route or what be the assignments from Audio IN to Outs and if evt. someone has cable setups as well, many thanks to whoever has this information or if anyone is using Reason or Record with a Dakota/Tango audio setup. 

Let me know 
Thanks
