synchronizer. The following pages illustrate how to
set up this type of synchronization with various
kinds of gear. Regardless of the specific equipment
you have, you can follow the basic connections
shown.
SAMPLE-ACCURATE SYNC
Yo ur 896HD system provides you with the most
advanced, accurate synchronization possible with
Alesis modular digital tape decks and hard disk
recorders — or any device that supports sample-
accurate ADAT sync. Figure 3-8 below shows a few
best-case scenarios. Below is a brief explanation of
the benefits you achieve with these setups.
Sample accurate locating
With sample accurate locating, when you transfer
audio between AudioDesk (or any other sample-
accurate host software) and a sample-accurate
recorder, the audio will not drift in time — even by
as little as one sample. This is the tightest possible
synchronization between digital audio devices.
The timing in your audio will not be affected in any
way by the process of transferring it between the
896HD and the recorder.
Is your audio software sample-accurate?
Sample-accurate locating is only possible with
software that supports this feature, such as
AudioDesk or Digital Performer. For third-party
software, sample-accurate performance (if it’s
supported) is achieved through the 896HD’s ASIO
Ve r s i on 2 driver (Mac OS 9 only).
Transport control from your computer
If you have a MIDI Timepiece AV, Digital
Timepiece or any ADAT synchronizer that also
supports MIDI Machine Control (MMC), you can
play, stop, rewind and locate all of your ADATs
using the transport controls in the audio software
running on your computer. This includes cueing
features like markers, position bars, playback
wipers, time rulers, etc.
Figure 3-9: AudioDesk and Digital Performer support sample-
accurate transfers with ADAT Sync compatible digital tape decks and
modular hard disk recorders.
Figure 3-8: These recommended combinations of hardware and software offer the tightest sync possible between the 896HD and digital audio
recorders in the form of sample-accurate locating between the software and the tape decks. Sample accurate locating is possible even without
a MIDI Timepiece AV or Digital Timepiece, although you give up transport control from the computer.
