DAW synchronisation

[Phildo]

Here's one for you guys...

I've got a VS1680, which I love, but my wife's now insisting that 16 tracks isn't enough. I was thinking that possibly the best bet is to buy another DAW (possibly the new 4428 or a Fostex VF160 or similar).

I'm currently using Logic on a Mac as my main clock source and sync'ing the 1608 to that, so I figure I could sync another DAW to the same Midi Clock signal if I use a thru box to ensure the timing signal gets to both DAWs at the same time. I could then pipe one of the DAWS into the other digitally.

Question is...will the lack of wordclock prevent accurate sync? I'm a bit of a novice at thid digi stuff - give me a big reel of tape any day!

Anybody running two DAWS? Any ideas?

Help meee.....

If you have Logic why do you want to buy another HDD? Not sure about the word clock question, sorry.

I'm running Logic 5.1 (I think) - no audio. I don't want my sounds on a computer, which is why I went down the dedicated DAW route. Don't like them there computery things. Dont trust 'em.
