Clocking issues would almost certainly result in clicks and pops that you'd hear long before you tried to track anything. The clicks and pops I mean would not be from the click track, but from the internal clock of your converters. And I've had converter clocking issues before. They never affected, slowed down, or caused drift of any kind in playback. They were just annoying blips and cracks that made what I recorded useless.

What are you using to generate the click track? Pro Tools, or an external source?

If the click is external, ditch whatever you're using and just use the click in Pro Tools. They don't agree with one another if you're looking at the grid, so one of them is faulty and it won't be the grid in PT.
yep you are right....you would expect clocking issues would give clicks and pops.

how exactly is the hear technologies stuff intergrated into the setup?

drifting could relate to a sync issue. is the protools synced to anything?
