I am running Sonar 3, with a MOTU 2408mkII. I have been using the Focusrite Octopre and sending the signal via lightpipe to the 2408, with the Octopre being the master clock device, and it has worked flawlessly. I am trying to add a Behringer ADA8000 unit to the system for the extra pre's, but when I connect it to the MOTU, I suddenly have problems with the system recognizing any of the input channels (including the Octopre). When I put the Behringer unit in place of the Focusrite unit all is well, but they won't both work at the same time.
I am thinking it may have something to do with syncing and I am not sure how to sync all of these together. Can I set the MOTU as the master device and the Octopre and ADA8000 as slaves and get the signal to the preamp units via lightpipe or do the source units (Octopre/ADA8000) need to provide a clock source, or do I need some external unit to clock all of this together.
I hope there is a way to do this with what I have as I have a live session coming up in a few days and need all the inputs. Any help would be incredibly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Starch
