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

M'kay, so the Benchmark DAC-1 is apparently a fantastic unit, and by the looks of it, it has a monitor volume knob. This, to me, makes sense. Digital out from 002R to DAC-1, and from there to the monitors. Cool.

Does the rosetta have the same clock chip as the Big Ben? Does anyone know if there is a difference?

So, I have a lowly MOTU HD192 as my main conversion system. If I were to get something like a Lucid word clock generator, would I be drastically improving my audio? I mean, enough to really notice? Also considering the fact that I mix on an analog board, so I'm going in and out a couple of times throughout the entire process.
Any input would be helpful.

i recorded a session the other day in pro tools at 48 khz. the problem was, the clock was set to 44.1 khz and now i have 44.1 khz files that play back at 48 khz (so they sound sped up - faster and higher in pitch).

Hi guys!

I am recording in DP 3.11 using 2408mk 1 and HEDD 192 at 24/48
thru spdif!
When I do that i set Dp to S/PDIF clock!
that way i am clocking HEDD to the 2408 or the other way?
Is there another way to do that with better results?
thank you all!

I apologise in advance for my ignorance but what does a "Word Clock" actually do?

I'm told http://www.apogeedi…"]this[/]="http://www.apogeedi…"]this[/] is a good one.

But I don't know what it does?

I have an RME 9632. I also have 2 peices of gear w/ word clock 'puts. I am thinking of getting the optional RME w/c module, it has one IN and two OUTS.
After doing a bit of reading, I am still wondering if I need to go w/c in my small setup?
Is it true that, if I use my AES/EBU or SPDIF conections, w/c is already imbedded?

right now ive everything running into a delta 1010 i was wandering about upgrading my wordclock i dont need a new pre i was wandering if thier is a desent to good external wordclock that i could upgrade to?

Right now I don't have any issues pertaining to clocking, but I'd like to find out if one could use the "word clock out" connection (on the MTP A/V) to sync and stablize other devices within a DAW? Such as multiple soundcards, digital mixers, samplers or anything that accepts word clock. Or is the Digital Time Piece more suited for this task?
