Hi All

I have been on the web for long and trying to find out this answer. .I am sure ppl here would certainly not let me down.

Hi All

I was originally looking into purchasing a Big Ben or Antelope Isochrone, but I now have an opportunity to buy a Lucid SSG192 for half the price (used). I think I'm gonna go for it, but is there anything I should know first?

should you use an external clock to connect a digital mixer to a computer?

Yamaha aw4416 mixer ---> ADAT lightpipe ----> RME hammerfall PCI soundcard ----> PC.

(the Yamaha and the RME both have BNC word clock connectors by the way)

I need a distributor for my Word Clocking. I have found good prices on used Aardvark and Lucid units. Do any of you have any real-world experience with these and could advise which of the two would be "better"... They both look pretty impressive, but having never used those brands, I wouldn't know. I would be using it to amplify my Apogee master clock (AD16X).

Hi all,

I've got a quick question. One of my mobile rigs has 3 B* ADA8000's, going via lightpipe to a Nuendo RME/Digi. I've been thinking about maybe tightening up the sync on the setup with wordclock and I'm looking for a reasonably priced clock generator (can't afford Big Ben right now!)

for all you more experienced engineers. I use a Mac G5 MOTU 24i/o Dp4 rig and mix and just about do everything in the computer. My friend said a good upgrade for the money is to buy an external word clock and that is really helps to sync. up your tracks...at least a lot better than the internal clock in my comp/MOTU rig.

Okay, so we're running a Focusrite 428 into our DigiDesign 002 Rack VIA a newly-installed A/D converter card in the 428.

Immediately we had jittering out the wazoo.

We quickly fixed that by setting the DigiDesign to slave to the 428.

I'm waiting for delivery of an A/D card for my Focusrite Trakmaster which I will output via SPDIF to my Edirol DA-2496. I got the card cheap and want to experiment to see which converters are better. Yes, yes, I know I should have better preamps but I'm focusing on converters for the moment as that is what my current two options are.
