Hi folks, hoping for a little bit of help with something. I've recently started a new job as a Tech Manager (essentially I'm the only full-time technician!) and the sound equipment is a little different to what I've previously used. I've previously used mainly Allen & Heath desks but I'm now working with a Digico SD11, and it's mostly fine but it's the UB MADI function I'm having trouble getting my head around.
The previous tech left the desk set up with the UB MADI outputting 12 channels, 2 of which I tend to use for a stereo Qlab feed from the 2012 iMac next to the SD11. An incoming company want to be able to do a multitrack recording of their show (of about 12 inputs), and I know the SD11 with UB MADI has the capacity to do so, but I can't seem to work out exactly how. I know hypothetically it's to do with copying the audio from the local I/O ports to the UB MADI but that's where I get stuck (I've got a D-rack but the last time I plugged it into the desk it fried the motherboard and it took a week and a half to get repaired so I'd rather use the local I/O instead of risking the desk frying again!)
If anyone out there has done this sort of thing before and wouldn't mind giving me some pointers I'd be eternally grateful.
