Thanks Alan! I really appreciate the input ..pun intended.
So, here's a bit more, if you're interestd to lend your opinion; I'm assembling the best parts from three machines, to build an MX2424 that is all around wonderful.
I took an analogue card from one MX machine, placed it into my very low-use, exc cond MX machine.
Picked up a Lightpipe card, new in box, sealed, $74, so I'm doing good as far as Analogue and Dig ins/outs, and everything is up and running nicely.
The target machine (the unit I will keep) is an early Version 1.10 but I have 3.05 (and a 3.10) TL Media card upgrade, loaded from the the 'donor' units.
For my current recording project, (soon to begin) I am syncing the MX2424 via MIDI to a Fostex D824 (a 24 bit capable 8tk unit) This way, I can haul the Fostex around w/ a small A&H mixer, and a set of AKG h.phones, in order to "bring the basic tracks to the artists" for over-dubbing, and for mixing at home later after flying the new tracks in to the MX via Lightpipe, syncing via MIDI.
The MIDI (mtc/mmc) is working, however; the Fostex IS equipped w/word clock in/out.
Should I go with word? The way I understand it, word clock is more appropriate for sample rate/digital word syncing, not so much meant for machine sync. Am I on the right track?..Should I just stay w/ the MIDI, or give word clock a try in this case?
And do u think I should install the 3.05 version? I can use one of the two 256 memory sticks as well, for which I could swap out the existing 128 stick.. But I do not plan on employing Viewnet software anytime soon, if ever, so the extra memory and newer version may not be necessary, unless of course it's nicer for the MIDI functions.
I've always followed the reliable way of thinking; 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' But I thought I'd see what you thought. Thanks so much, oh, and I really like your studio website. Thanks again, Dan, Monterey CA
