I need some advice from some of you pro tools users. I recently did a project where i chained up 2 digi002s. i of course changed the clock setting to ADAT. When it comes time to bounce i have some troubles. During the bounce it plays back at the right time. After its done and i import to itunes or windows media player the song is sped up. Any advice on how i can most easily get this right?

Is there any justification in buying expensive word clock cables?

Thank you

Heres the scenario: I am trying to transfer 8 tracks of analog (one with SMPTE) into my computer using a SMPTE to MTC (JL Cooper) box into a Midi to USB cable (sync) through a pair of nice converters. This forces me to dump tracks two at a time and line them up by hand in PT.

I posted this in recforums with little feedback:

When I purchased the 800, everybody said it was hands down a better clock. So I have the 800 as master, with a cable to the
Lucid Genx6 which distributes to everything else in the studio.

This seems a bit kludgey.

So a few weeks ago, i was recording a band...and i had Digital Performer set to record at 48K and get its clock from the AES EBU input...

but the AES EBU device sending the clock was accidentally set to 44.1

so the resulting files were labeled as 48K in their meta data...but were actually recorded at 44.1

Hey all,

Hi,

I'm finding that as I migrate my studio more and more to the digital end of things, I'm picking up more and more equipment with word clock BNC connectors. The problem is, some have an IN but not an OUT, so how do I chain all of them together if I want to use one clock source (as I understand I'm supposed to)?

Is a distribution box preferrable in a situation where I chain my word clock this way :

(AD-16x WC out) > (DA-16x WC in) > (DA-16x WC out) > (MOTU 2408 WC in)

...where I import the digital output of the AD-16x via the 2408's ADAT inputs and likewise take the ADAT outputs of the 2408 and send them to the inputs of the DA-16x?

Now the reason I ask this (please answer truthfully) is that I visited a music shop today. The shop in question sells quite a bit of pro equipment, among that Pro Tools HD systems. And the person I met had never seen a terminated word-clock. They did not have any T-couplings and no terminations in store. Maybe it was only that single person, but I'm in doubt.

If i us Apogee AD-16 X 's clock be a master clock do i need to get Big Ben?
