i'm new to this forum. wondering if anyone could give me some advice. just bought a TC fireworx and would like to know what the optimal way of connecting it into my present setup might be.
i have a MOTU 828 MK 2 ( analog and digital ins/outs) runing into a G4 1.25 and using Digital Performer 4.1. i have no external mixing board.
i do a lot of soundscape/ambient/ soundtrack music and would like to create some new sounds. presently i have the fireworx connected to the 828 with S/PDIF in/out. i'm playing guitar/synth directly (through a pod line 6) into the fireworx and then into the computer (through the interface 828).
i've noticed thought that the inputs overload easily that way. any better ways of doing it?
also. anyone know if i need to sync the firewirx with word clock to the 828? any help would be appreciated..
