using 001 s/pdif output to 002 input and ADAT

[BrianH]

I would like some input as to the potential problem recording on PTLE with all 18 available inputs. I know when I use my Apogee Rosetta with lightpipe into the 002 I need to use the clock source from the ADAT (Rosetta). So if I use the lightpipe input and the s/pdif to arrive at the maximum of 18 simultaneouly recordable channels will I have clocking issues? Or will the ADAT automatically feed the s/pdif for a glitch-free session? Or maybe I need to chose the s/pdif as the clock source? Help please, need this resolved by Saturday. Thanks -Brian

Do I understand correctly that you want to record 2 tracks from the 001 via SPDIF to the 002, in addition to the 8Ch Rosetta 800 obviously set as master clock via Lightpipe?
Then you'd need to use a second SPDIF cable connecting the 002 out to the 001 in and set the 001's clock source to SPDIF (=002)

That setup is a bit confusing as you'd need 2 separate PT LE instances for running the 001 and 002 simultaneously.
So out of interest, how do you sync both PT sessions? Is there some way via MIDI time code?

I am not going to use the 001 anymore. I will be using the 8 audio ins on the 002, 8 audio ins with my Rosetta 800 thru ADAT and 2 audio ins thru s/pdif from an Aphex 2 channel mic pre model 207D. I have only used 16 channels with the ADAT ins. I have never used the spdif in while using the ADAT too. Do you see a problem I may encounter and do you know how I should set the clocks?

Thanks
