A Sarcastic Statement
Hi there,
I am currently using a Tascam US-1800 as my main interface/converter. I want better AD conversion and more line level inputs so I can use more analog outboard preamps so I am getting the Presonus Firestudio Mobile as it's specs and reviews seem quite favorable for improved AD and preamp quality over my Tascam US-1800.
I am wondering if anyone knows if the Presonus Firestudio Mobile can be set up as an Aggregate Device in Pro Tools 9 running on Mac OSX Snow Leopard. I would just hook it up as my main in/out in pro tools, however I still want to be able to use the inputs/outputs on the Tascam in addition to the firestudio mobile (simultaneously), but apparently Tascam will NOT work as an agg device in PT. So I was thinking I would keep the Tascam wired up how it currently is (whatever the standard way is), and then add the Firestudio mobile as an agg device and tell PT to use it for playback (and of course be able to choose any of it's inputs for recording).
Anyone know if this is doable? Seems simple enough.
Oh yeah, and...if I do that and all is working, will I now need to get an external word clock in order to make the two sync up properly when recording using inputs simultaneously from both units? Or would there still be a way to set the agg device (firestudio mobile) as the internal clock and slave the tascam to it?
