jbward · 10th February 2009

Folks,

Long time reader first post as I haven't seen this discussed:

Which clock do you suppose I should use as a master, my Lucid GENx192 master clock or the clock in my Neve 1073 DPD?

The Lucid GENx192 is required to sync everything else I'm using (003R, SSL Alpha Channel with crappy non-word SPDIF-only option, POD XT Pro AES sync, etc). However, the Lucid can either drive everything using it's own internal clock or it can accept an external word clock as master and just act as distro.

My logic is that the Neve is probably pretty sweet, but also thinking that since the Lucid is *only* a clock that perhaps it might keep up or have the edge.

Unfortunately my ears can't do me any good right now as everything is ripped apart and I'm awaiting a few remaining cabling components.

Love to hear some thoughts or better yet experience.
