Hi All,
I'm currently waiting for a PSU before I can use my tape deck. And I recently scored a Soundtracs Topaz board (with +4 mods done) in the meantime, which I'd like to practice mixes on, but using my laptop/Pro Tools as the capture/repro.
I have a Macbook Air (about 3 years old) along with Focusrite Clarett 8 Pre (Thunderbolt) and an OctoPre.
I've never sync'd the two because the Clarett and Garageband have been great for capturing song ideas (love the zero latency for monitoring) so I'm writing to ask advice on two things:
1) How do I connect the OctoPre to the Clarett? Just the BNC for Word Clock? The BNC and ADAT Out? Am I correct to assume that once it is somehow "slaved" to the Clarett, I will see the 8 outputs (along with the Clarett's 10) as assignable Outs in the DAW?
2) Is a Macbook Air and Pro Tools (I still have to buy software) going to be powerful enough to feed 18 channels to an analog mixer?
Thanks in advance for input.
