    USB and SPDiF issues connected at the same time?

    Yes.... when I started using the Focusrite as master and used two SPDIF cables to get the clock out of the Focusrite into the AXE with this setting: I/O MENU AUDIO~WORD CLOCK~ SPDIF/AES IN and SPDIF/AES SELECT ~ SPDIF The Focusrite only switched to 44.1 when I tried to set it to SLAVE...

    Random digital cracks with SPDIF

    Random digital cracks with SPDIF

    Those are the only two options, on the AXE either SPDIF/AES IN or AUTO. The Focusrite is either Internal or SPDIF. When trying to set the Focusrite to SPDIF (slave) it switches to 44.1 and will not lock to the AXE which is set to AUTO.

    Be sure you are not running a CAB in the AXE and a CAB emulation in your speaker if it has that.

Use good headphones directly out of the AXE as a reference to figure out...

    Do you record in mono or stereo?

    I re-amp everything in stereo. I can always narrow the stereo field in the DAW but to widen it takes filtering that I don't like or a delay. The AXE has a delay in processing dependent on the patch which I use a plug-in in Logic to compensate for.

    Anyone using S/PDIF I/O with a cheap interface?

    It can be confusing trying to route everything while reamping but the flexibility is very cool when you get it working. Make sure everything is set to 48Khz sample rate as the AXE is fixed at that rate and mismatches cause audio glitches. Good luck!

    I tried. Sorry I couldn't help. I'd just go analog in and use a re-amp box. I built one for this purpose but haven't tried it yet as the USB reamping works well since I figured out the latency issue. I was stuck in Windows hell for 10 years but after I retired I'm all Mac.
