Re: mtc and midi machine control
I would use MTC.
For your first rig as the master device - In Pro Tools of your first Master rig: 1) Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT of your first 003 to the MIDI In of your second interface. 2) Go to the Setup menu and choose “Peripherals…”. Click on the Synchronization tab and set “MTC Generator Port" to the corresponding MIDI output port going to your slave rig. 3) Go to the Setup menu and choose “Session". Set "Time Code Rate" to 30. 4) If your Transport window is not already open, open it by going to the Window menu and choosing “Transport”. 5) Go to the View menu and highlight Transport. Choose Synchronization and click on the GEN MTC that appears on the Transport window. In Pro Tools of your Slave rig: 1) Go to the Setup menu and choose “Peripherals…”. Click on the Synchronization tab and verify that “MTC Reader Port" is set to Any. 2) Go to the Setup menu and choose “Session". Set "Time Code Rate" to 30. 3) If your Transport window is not already open, open it by going to the Window menu and choosing “Transport”. 4) Put Pro Tools online by pressing the Online button on the far left of the Transport window. This will be verified by a blinking blue online button. 5) Press play in the master rig and the slave rig should now be playing along with Pro Tools. NOTE: When using MTC, you should add 1 or 2 bars of blank pre-roll on both rigs.

Re: mtc and midi machine control
The pre roll is to give the two rigs time to sync. MTC takes a couple of seconds to lock in, unlike midi clock which syncs instantly. But MTC has less tendancy to drift out of sync overtime. If you don't use the blank pre roll with MTC, your first couple of seconds of audio will not playback/record.
Also, those instructions are for two Pro Tools rigs. For logic, you're gonna have to adjust the instructions to suit!
