EDIT - ignore what I wrote below - missed the big "console following MTC" comment". But I'm going to leave it in anyway, because it's useful to anyone wanting to run SMPTE with a console and logic.

Anyway, Bigben/master audio clock don't have anything to do with positional sync, just sample sync. You're going to have to designate one the master, and the other the slaves. I don't think it's possible to have Logic both generating MTC and receiving it for playback. I wouldn't even bother trying it.



The off-topic bit:

I think it's fairly unlikely that you can press play/stop from any one, and the others all follow.

One will have to be the master, and the others slave. Even SSLs/Neves with full PT rigs have to work this way.

Logic's a Pain to work with TC, unless you have a unitor (the usual discontinue something good) or possibly a MOTU midi timepiece.

If you have something that will generate TC (eg the Sync i/o, even though logic doesn't use it) you can use it to record TC (as audio) into your sequencer. This master sequencer can then output TC, which the desk can slave to, and output midi TC to slave the second rig to.

Alternatively, if you want the desk as master you need a unitor, MIDI timepiece or similar to convert smpte to midi, and slave both rigs to this.

Does that make sense? PM me if you want a bit more detail....
