Topic: Hammerfall Digi9652 in modern PC

I like to move my old Hammerfall Digi9652 (44/48kHz version) + ADI8PRO to a new PC with XP3 with modern motherboard, fast proc, big RAM, etc.
Can new PC give me less latency?

Re: Hammerfall Digi9652 in modern PC

A better computer will provide more power for VST etc, but the card does not change. You can use these old discontinued cards in a 32-bit OS only.

Thank you very much, Jeff!

One more question HeadScratch

I'd like to connect my iMac and PC to sync audio and to maximize productivity. On PC-side I've got Hammerfall9652 with W/Clock & 3xADAT In/Out. My idea to buy Firewire/USB interface for iMac and connect it to PC with lightpipes? Or Wordclock connection is the must to sync transport control in software ?

Re: Hammerfall Digi9652 in modern PC

Neither of the two will "sync transport control". Word Clock only syncs sample rates.
You might need something like Steinberg's VST System Link.

Re: Hammerfall Digi9652 in modern PC

ich danke ihnen tausendmal!
so, with lightpipe connection like this
(PC+Hammerfall9652) <-- ADAT Lightpipe --> (iMAC+Firewire/USBInterface)
I will be able to send only audio tracks?

Re: Hammerfall Digi9652 in modern PC

You could use a separate MIDI connection for the transport control commands if the sending and receiving software understands Midi Machine Control.

Re: Hammerfall Digi9652 in modern PC

I mean: will MAC DAW understand PC DAW, for example, MMC (MIDI Machine Control) 'Play' command over ADAT protocol? Wikipedia says ADAT protocol carries MIDI data transport info, but in reality?
