When, on accasion, I'm working on a DAW with no word clock in/out and syncing the DAW to external SPDIF (or ADAT lightpipe), what exactly are the sonic penalties? This seems to work fine in practice, but will I spend eternity in a lake of fire? Lovin' the Lavry Blues! Jason Keillor |

The real trouble in audibiity problems with different sync methods starts to happen when using external analog processors, or mixing outside the box. Bob- I have been using a Mytek Stereo96 DAC for monitoring, using the DAC's clock as the master. |

The only outboard processor I have is a Z-Qualizer. I have just acquired another Mytek DAC which will come after the Z-Q and before an analog processor, an Avalon 747. A Mytek Stereo96 ADC will come after the 747 and input into the DAW. I haven't set any of this up yet, so my question may be premature. My question is, what should my clock setttings be on the three converters? The outputs and the inputs of the DAW are RME cards, which so far with just the Z-Q have been set to AutoSync. Now, putting the 747 in the chain, after the Z-Q and input DAC, I assumed that the input DAC would be set to master, the output ADC would be set to internal, and the RME cards would remain at AutoSync. The monitoring DAC would remain at master. Does this seem correct? John |
