Hi All,
This may be a dumb question, but do I need a master clock source in my setup ? I'm using 2 digimax 8 ch pres (lightpipe) as well as 4 analong inputs into an RME Hammerfall card, and recording to Nuendo. I don't hear anything weird but some other reading has got me concerned.
Thanks in advance

I personally believe that a good master word clock source is a nice addition to any DAW setup and can definitely help in critical situations. If you don't have any other digital gear other than your pre's (presonus right?) you can probably get away without one.

It is certainly critical at the a/d converter and less critical at the d/a converter since one argument is that you can have better equipment at the d/a.
