This was the headline act's gear and he was doing his thing at 6am as the sun was comming up.
I had every self confessed gear slut back stage trying every which way to get them to work  ...we even had the full manuals for both.
the rave was out in the country and I even had a three way satalite phone link up to a production sound guy who was also talking on another phone  to a guy in Paris and everything they sugessted we had already tried.
we even had tapes in them in record mode..... 
It was funny the event organiser was really sweating and every now and again he'd bring someone back stage and he'd say "see you should be more like this guy he's gonna get it right for us"  Ha Ha HA.....
Anyway the DJ/producer went back to his hotel and created a whole new set on his laptop and pretended to mix as we still had all the cables hooked up to a Mackie 32-8......fuuck
I would have thought the 2424 would have been 100%compatible out of the box....tutt |
That's strange. I've done that before and didn't have any problem. As far as clocking went, I had the DA88's synced together (like they would be if you were just using tape) and set the 2424 to lock to the TDIF.
Of course if that didn't work, I was prepared with a set of formatted tapes to capture the show. I could have figured out how to make everything talk to each other later.
