CS6 Premiere Pro performance with Kona 3 on the PC?

[Tom Daigon]

Wow, so no folks here on a PC are using Kona 3, huh. Thats a surprise. I will wait to get some feedback from folks on the web before making the installation into the new HP Z820. No need to expend the energy if its not working right yet.

Hi Tom,

We put our LHi in the Z820 and it works fine in Premiere BUT nowhere else. i.e. None of your system sounds play through it.

Not sure if this is the same issue with the Kona 3?

Sorry.

No, the problem I experienced was the audio was intermittent when playing back in the PrP timeline. Sometimes it could be heard and sometimes it couldn’t be heard.

So are you getting system audio through your Kona 3 no problem?

BTW I really enjoyed your dance vid. Very nicely put together.

Hi Alex. Thanks! Im glad you enjoyed it.

I am taking the analog audio out of the Kona 3 breakout box and feeding to inputs on my audio amplifier thats driving the speakers in the edit bay. I have always only gotten the PP-Kona 3 output this way, never computer system audio. I have the Mac Pro headphones output set on another input on my audio amplifier

So I never thought this was a problem.

Gotcha.

Although our LHi card has always come up as an option in the sound system preferences on our Mac Pros but did not on the Z820. I guess I just assumed it wasn’t going to be any different.

I assumed wrong. Headphones output it shall be.

Cheers,
Alex

I should append what I said with the statement that Im to new to the PC to be sure what Im doing cant be done a better way. I just got used to one way of doing things and havent learned any alternative approaches 😀
