Hey guys, I was reading the post about the A/D converters and I saw you talking about how can you improve the audio quality if you have a good word clock source. Ok, here is my question. When you have a 001 for example and you use an ADI 8 Pro to record thru lightpipe, you use the ADI 8 Pro as the clock source right (on PT LE, Clock set to external)?

Which one of you brilliant MIDI geeks/gurus knows the answer to this?

The setup - keyboard with internal sequencer, mac running Digital Performer, Midi Express XT, ADATs with BRC, and me with a shot of single malt standing there with too many manuals scratching my head.

I'm building a new PT/DP rig and was wondering... what's the best choice for a wordclock master these days? I've used Aardsync boxes in the past but I hear there are some cheaper, and maybe better, alternatives now. Lucid? Rosendahl? Or should I get a wordsync DA for my AD-8000 and use that as the master clock?

hey all, not sure if this is the right room for this but,

Anyone using any external word clocks such as Aardvark or Lucid, Mytek with any MOTU interfaces for improved sound? Also has anyone used any external converters similarly?

Hi,
I'm interested in adding a master word clock generator to my home studio, and the obvious choice, the Aardsync II, is a bit pricey for me.
Is there anything out there that does the same thing for less money?
Thanks,
Mark

I am trying to sync the D8B and HDR 24/96 via an Apogee Word Clock card. The D8B is the Master, therefore, when I go into the Setup screen, I set the clock to Word Clock, and same on the HDR 24/96.

When I try to sync, I get a Lock Error. Can anybody help me ?. May be I am doing something wrong in configuring these two machines.

Thanks,

Hanif

I have a Rosetta that I use to track with and have three digital sources (standalone HD recorder, 2 digital cards) that all have Word Clock in. So obviously I think I would benifit if they all were clocked with the WC out of the Apogee because of the very stable clock and the syncronous timing (I am guessing here).
