First post here! yay!
Hi all,
Is there anyone here that can shed some light on this for me...
My most favourite and used piece of equipment is my Usbpre 2, 90% of the time it is everything I need.
Occasionally, I would like to be able to record 4 tracks at once though.
My little portable rig consists of a Sony D50 piggybacked to a Denecke PS2 phantom power supply. I have been trying to get the Usbpre and the D50 to sync clocks via optical SPDIF.
I have had it confirmed from Sound Devices that this should be possible and that indeed it does appear to be happening because I get solid green SPDIF LEDs on the usbpre 2.
However, when I import the D50 audio into my daw and line things up I'm getting a drift of 120 samples or so in a minute. Plenty to give me all sorts of phase issues.
I've triple checked that sample rates are set alike across all devices. I've sent a further query to Sound Devices but have not yet received a reply...
The Usbpre2 is in interface mode and sending it's audio to my DAW, the D50 is recording to it's inbuilt memory to be transferred to the computer post recording. The optical SPDIF connection goes out from the D50 in to the usbpre2.
If I had the money I'd buy a 744 and be done with it, alas that is not to be...
cheers,
