Taking my first big step in music tech, sweaty palms????LOL :p

[BSCDave]

thanks alot for that there, it's good to hear that I've actually made some decisions that were right. THis is my first time working with digital equipment of this standard, so a huge majority of that last post could have been written in a mixture of spanish german and secret code...lol, but I'm not going to pretend to be somthing I'm not. I'm gonna go and look up some of the phrases and term's used, then write m up in my sit and type document..... Always try and keep learning is my outlook on music. I have the BNC cable aswell now, so I'll get on syncing those clocks up today. And hopefully I'll finally get pro tool's fully downloaded, installed and working properly on here........I had no idea it was gonna be such a task? It is however the first time I've ever worked on installation of any kind of programme on any kind of computer. U minght say I occasionally throw myself in at the deep end? I do have a question for you guys aswell. When I connect the pro 8 to the Apogee, will it appear on Pro Tools or on the maestro control? THanks again, Blood sand man

The DAW (Pro Tools in this case) has no knowledge of what is connected to an ADAT input. All it can know is whether there is a clock arriving there, and offer you the option of using that clock as your sync source.

You could try the experiment of connecting the Apogee's ADAT output round to its ADAT input to see what happens in the control panel. The clock phasing is guaranteed in this case unless you select ADAT as the source, when it all goes haywire.

Haywire aint the word friend???????lol I've managed to get the monitors working again now, but there was a short time where I was very worried? I've just re-set the unit, and it seem's to have gone back to normal. Don't seem that the 2 talking to each other tho.
The back of the ensemble to pro 8 is set as - optical in to adat out

[BSCDave]

sory about postin that prem there lol
firewire - mac optical audio
world clock out(wc in on) - pro 8 sync (WC in)
Is my mistake been made somewhere there, or is it somewhere in the tools of apogee?
