Alesis HD24 Question ??????????????

[newatthis]

I currently have several Alesis ADAT tape machines I am using in my studio. Now I just ordered an ALESIS HD 24 HD Recorder.

Can I sync them all together (as the tape machines are now) and run OUT of the BRC (master Alesis remote controller) ,then into the HD24, then out of the HD24 and into all the Tape machines??

My goal is to try to be able to tape onto the HD24 at the same time as taping onto the Alesis Adat Tape Machines so I will have the recordings on both the same.

Can this be done?? and if so, may I ask how?

Thanks again
AJ

The HD24 acts as 3 ADATs to the BRC, so you simply chain them.... you'll want to put one of the ADATs first though, because with the HD24 first the tape-based units won't be able to sync fast enough to lock-in compared to the HD24.

Very Cool,,,and thanks.

It has not arrived yet, but can you also tell me what size (how many space) rack I should order. My guess is probably 4 or 6>?>?. The HD24 will be the only thing going into this rack. (so I can take it to gigs and record the band live, if I get the urge)

Thanks again

Peace

The HD24 is 3U (3 rack spaces)...
