John Sayers' Recording Studio Design Forum Archive

Hi,

I hope I’m posting this query in the right forum – if not then please move it to the right one.

I’ve downloaded the free demo version of Praxis for the purpose of taking some measurements via the RTA whilst on the move.

The soundcard is an RME Fireface 400.

The RME software tells me the card is working and the meters register the input signal of anything I connect.

However, I can’t seem to get anything into Praxis… It wouldn’t surprise me if I’m being stupid / ignoring the obvious, so don’t be afraid to tell me if you think so!

The setup menu in Praxis gives me a variety of input / output routing options for the RME interface, indicating the various Fireface ADAT / analogue connections, so it would appear that I have the right drivers.

I appreciate that the cut-down demo of Praxis is pretty basic, but the RTA can be used in demo mode, and not being a pro speaker designer I don’t think I need the full version from what I can make out in the instructions.

It appears to me that I’m not looking in the right place of the Praxis menus… Either that, or it could be an issue with the RME routing mixer maybe?

Do you need the full Praxis to look at incoming signals in real-time? Does the demo version only work with WAVs or something? Am I ignoring the bleeding obvious (most likely…).

Any assistance would be gratefully received - thanks in advance.

Justin

Justin, have you posted this in the Praxis forum?

I don't know the program, but thanks for the link

I'm downloading it now.

cheers

Thanks for the info about their forum John - I posted my query there as well.

Having said that, I notice some queries on their forum that haven't been answered since August last year... I hope I don't have to wait a year to get an answer!

Maybe a member here can recommend a simple RTA program that will enable me to monitor the spectrum in real-time and save screenshots for comparison?

I have a decent RTA on my other machine, but sadly it's gone up the creek and the software won't run on this machine.

Thanks again.

Justin
