linking a v3 and an AD2K+

[F.O.Bean]

so there you go.  the key thing, when syncing the AD2K to the V3 clock is to NOT use the word clock output.  the manual says that it needs to be AES or S/PDIF for the digital lock.  the good thing is that the V3 has both S/PDIF and AES ouputs, so whichever one you aren't using to send to your record deck, you can use the other one to the AD2K to get it all sync'ed up.

Connected AES out from V3 to the digital input on the AD2K and bam! lock led on the 2k flashed for a few seconds then  stayed solid and lit. Awesome. Got the second microtrack today at Guitar Center for 240.  Not too bad! I might sell my MT1 and buy another 2.  The other great thing is I have an easy way to run a backup for those "must not screw this one up" type nights. 

I'm going to tape The Brew tomorrow night and see if I can do 4's>v3>MT1 + sbd>ad2k>mt2.  And apparently I can use Sound Studio to do the mix down which I already have.  This is such an awesome feature about my setup that I didn't even realize I had!   
                                                                           

that is sweetness jesse let us know, and hear, how it went

if I were you tho and you started to do this more often(which you should), then id get an r44 in a heartbeat. i saw rob clarke's at moedown and it is TINY compared to the r-4 just need cf cards and i bet its battery compared to the r44 is alot better.

but, you are golden w/ what you ahve. very cool. ive never messed w/ word clocks, but that is supa cool IMO

Yeah I think I'm pretty golden as is.  The Microtracks are ideal for taking digitial inputs, and they are super small and lightweight.  With the V3 and AD2K the last thing I need is a bigger recorder in my bag!  And there is NO way I'm ditching the V3 or AD2K.  It's just my ideal setup.  Sound quality is more important than convience to me. 

Can't wait to try it tonight at the Iron Horse.  Hopefully, I can get a patch.  I'll keep you updated.

Well

[Jhurlbs81]

Ha!

Everything went perfect.  MK4(DIN)>KC5>CMC6>V3>MT1 +  SBD>AD2K>MT2 (synched from V3s AES output).  It should be a killer tape, because I just listened to the two tracks off the soundboard and it sounds great as is, very well balanced.  It took some finagling to get the board patch, because apparently it's against the Iron Horse's policy, but the FOH was very cool and hooked it up just in time to get the whole thing 4 channels.  Should be cool.  More to come after some sleep.

This is really a great idea - gonna have to give it a try with the AD2K+ and my Mini-Me

With you all the way. I could never give up my AD2K+. You should hear it with the PSP-2 in front

[Jhurlbs81]

I bet!!

[macdaddy]

But you did give up the ad2k+. I thank you for that everytime I record
