Word Clock Question

[Big Saccs]

Hello Forum I have a opportunity to pick up a Big Ben word clock, I've read that u can connect it to any PTLE hardware via s/pdif but is it still possible to record audio thru the adat lightpipe while using s/pdif for clocking??? or the other way around...can I still use s/pdif for audio while I use lightpipe to except external clocking... Thanks in advance for all help and advice!

Well yes, kinda. You'd also need to send the Big Ben clock to whatever your other digital device is so that everything is clocking from the same source.

Yes I have several devices that has BNC connection, just wanted to make sure the main piece in my studio can accept it and at the same time allow me to use the other digital format as I/O

[Big Saccs]

Well yes, kinda.

Can u you are someone please help with a definite yes or no because this is not a small purchase...thanks again

Well, I would assume that if you set the 002 to "Slave" and linked the Big Ben to the ADAT or SPDIF source, that could do it.

Thanks, but can I use the other digital source for audio at the same time?

As I previously stated, this can be done as long as all the devices are clocking off the Big Ben. Sorry if that wasn't clearer.

Thanks again Slim Shady, Thats not a piece of equipment you buy in the hopes that it might work...appreciate the help!

I record through the optical in via an ADA8000 so in theory yes you can record Via the Optical In, using the Big Ben I don't know as I haven't tried it.

Thanks...this is how it be setup... wordclock into the digi 002r via lightpipe and a computer I use for soft synths going into the digi 002r via s/pdif I'm just making sure I was on the right path.
