I am in the process of selecting a sound card, and buying a PC (I have an old tired MAC 7500 that has seen its days). I am thinking about digi 001, RME Hammerfall, and LynxOne or Two, based one all of your astute recommendations.
My main considerations are:
1) I want to be able to synchronize to my old MAC which I plan to use Performer on for midi
2) I would like to be able to use my very expensive Lexicon PCM 91, which I love, but I am wondering if I really should have blown two thousand dollars on last year.
The guy at sweetwater said that I can sync PT/digi001 with my Mac (midi), and also be able to use it with the Lexicon, but in the case of the Lexicon, i had to do some kind of 'tweaking'.. to do with synchronization (not too clear here). In any case, he said it was a minor thing, but it sounded like an annoyance to me.
I am wondering if this all has to do with "word clock"?
Also-- I looked into RME and Lynx -- both I am sure have far better converters than the digi001. Although I suspect the Pro Tools Editor is the most powerful.
The question is: can I sync to my Lexicon without tweaking using any of these other cards? And can I also sync to my old Mac via sympte or midi?
Much obliged for any thoughts!
