I am trying to find out if the FOSTEX D2424LV will link to the 9pin ADAT synch so that I can hook it up to my Frontier Designs Sound Cards, ADAT sync as you all know is extremely reliable time code.

I have a pair of Foxtex D2424 which I've used for the last two years to record dozens of projects successfully, some with both decks locked together for 48 tracks. I always use an external box to generate wordclock, and typically fly in 16 or 24 tracks of ADAT using Steinberg 8IO converters and occasionally use the first 8 analog input with with 16 digital inputs.

I also posted this over at the 3dB board, but I do not think many of you hang out there.

Hi all, I am getting ready to go the rack mount HD recorder route & am looking the Fostex & Alesis Models (Mackie's is simply outta range $$$).

Greetings,

I am now in the market for a 24 track hard disc recorder. Out of the 3 famous choices, Tascam,Mackie and Alesis, which one is the better of the lot?

I know the Tascam is considerably more expensive.

Also, which of the Mackies (I am not useing a computer), the SDR or MDR? What is the difference between the two?

Thank you! :) :cool:

I am looking for the best 24 HD recorder that is offered. The only ones I know are Mackie, Alesis and Tascam.

How are these units in comparison and are there better machines out there?
