Multiple Lynx Aurora 16 and Pro Tools 9?

joashlawton · 22nd January 2012

I'm currently looking to purchase a second Aurora 16 w/ LT-USB. Is it possible to have both plugged in via USB on my Mac Pro for a total of 32 I/O with Pro Tools 9?

I don't believe that will work. First, they'd obviously need to be connected via wordclock or some other sync channel. Then... I just don't think that wither the USB buss can function like this AND/OR Lynx's drivers aren't prepared for this.

If you have a Mac Pro you shouldn't be using the LT-USB. You should be using a Lynx AES16e PCIe card. You can certainly use multiple AES16e cards with multiple Auroras without issue.
