One small extra question to this topic:

S/PDIF seems to work nice for me. However, I get some clicks now and then, not frequent at all, but they do occur, maybe once or twice in a 3-4 minute long track. Also when I bounce I still have one-two clicks in my exports. I did not have those using the analog outs.
Any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix this?


SAME FOR ME!

Ive been in contact with Support about it. NO resolution yet.

Also, I had the Clock set to SPDIF, this was when I was getting the clicks.

Do you have your interface's clock source set to S/PDIF? If not that could be the issue.

Also, on the topic of the audio being identical up to the point it either gets passed through as digital or converted to analog..... if memory serves, the well documented issue of unintentional slight pitch oscillation doesn't occur when using analog outs. Personally I just restart my DAW and Virus before recording to help get smooth operation from it and stick to USB outs
By "yout interface's clock" you mean my soundcard if I get you right, correct?
I am sure I have the Virus set to S/PDIF, but I am not sure about my soundcard. I am using the Macbook's internal soundcard and I cannot seem to fing the setting to change this. Any idea how I could do that? thanks

please, if anyone can help:

I am trying to bounce from Logic my Virus TI sounds. I have my set up connected to a Macbook Pro using the S/PDIF outputs the Virus like I have described above.

My bounces are slightly off synchronisation with each other. I don't know what is wrong but are. When I use the VC and audio through USB they are totally in sync. Can anyone please help me to resolve the problem? I need to use S/PDIF to export my tracks.

I found that turning off live mode in VC and setting USB mode to "2 out / 0 in", increases timing stability with USB. Maybe it will also help with S/PDIF?
