Hello
I'm anxious to hear what problems that might occur if I would use an HD24 with a BRC. I've read all the stuff about it in the manual and I basically want to know what I could experience apart from what it says there.
I'm on the brink of buying an HD24 to replace my adat recorders, so I want to know what I might be getting into!
 
My "here and there" problems have been with everything basically. Sometimes the transport button don't work. Sometimes the track arm buttons don't work. Sometimes the time display is all wrong. Sometimes the locate functions don't work. Sometimes, the HD24 won't react to it's LRC controller after you have used the BRC for some function. It just varies from day to day. We still use it and put up with it, but it isn't as bullet proof as it was with the ADAT's.

The time display was always wrong but the main reason I don't use my BRC with the HD is I put word clock directly into the the HD from a GenX6 and I believe it wants to clock from the BRC if it's hooked up.
 
Hey Track, you can put the BRC in external clock mode. That is what we do. I have verified that it works by changing the ouput clock on the Lucid. RTM to get info on this.

Yeah, that's how I used to clock the ADATs. I have no emperical knowledge on this but I feel it's better to clock the HD right on its word clock input rather than daisey chain through the BRC.
 
I doubt there is any difference. I like having the functions of the BRC available, ESPECIALLY while doing vocal overdubs. All the locate points make for a very fast locate! :D

You got me thinking about dragging it back out of the mothballs. Hey Ed, do you think Alesis will take these as trade ins towards HD-BRC's?:D

I use it this way too... works well...

I haven't noticed a lot of "serious" BRC glitches -- couple of times some strange occurrences along what you've mentioned, Ed... but it's still more convenient with the BRC than without.

Even more convenient would be if ALesis takes their fingers out of their butts and releases the HD24-specific MRC!
