Matthew Murray · 27th November 2006

I think I'd most rather use the Hedd for clocking, not the fireface. It's probably the best one of the lot.

Jules -- yes you're right, the Hedd is for all overdubs as well as the two key channels (ie. overheads) when tracking drums or other multi-tracking. The "try every method" is time costly yes, and I'd rather just pick a solution that works. I doubt that the differences between methods are that huge anyways -- but the reason for my question is ultimately to ensure that something like "chaining" isn't going to cause errors or jitter or anything awful like that.

Albert ... I'd love to read this thread you mention but I can't hunt it down on prosoundweb. Does anybody know what this thread was called or have a link to it?

Thanks all for your help thus far.
