Topic: Dumb Sync Questions
Hey all!
Silly questions: before I pony up and buy a raydat or MADI system, I want to know whether I can sync 3 digimax fs (for d/a and a/d) as well as a multiface II to a digiface clock as master using the spdif out from digiface spdif out to Multiface II in, and adat sync to the digimax fs units with the digiface as master? I used to use word clock, but I would rather avoid all that cabling at this point, and using the optical cables to sync seemed to make sense.
Also, am I better off using word clock and one of the digimax units as the master clock?
I am using the unit for a live sound FOH for a cover band, so I would like as much stability as possible. Some of my word clock cables appear faulty (custom maker apparenty sucked) and I thought I could just use adat.
Last question: does it make more sense to move to 1 card (i.e., raydat) if I want to have 32 i/o going all the time?
Thanks! Any advice would be great. We have used the multiface/digiface combo for many shows, including opening for wyclef and others, and I just want to have the most stable clock package I can.
