fw1884 and clock argh......

[feedolstick]

Hello wise audiophiles,

I have a clock question, i've used the search function with no real answers..

I've had a behringer ada8000 hooked to my fw1884 for about a month now. I've always had an awful time with the tracks on the behringer clicking and popping, and friday noticed that I had it as well as my tascam operating as Master.

For some reason, my behringer won't work as a slave. So last friday, i switched the Tascam to slave.....and the cliks/pops from the ada8000 were fixed.

Audio plays fine in my system now, but when i bounce down....it plays at a much slower pace and lower pitch. If i switch the tascam back to master and play back a session, same thing. It plays really slow and at a lower pitch. (cd rom also plays cd's really fast and at a higher pitch with the ada8000 as master??)

I only have one adat cable, it is connected from the ada8000 adat out to the 1884 adat in. Do i need another one to connect them as a full cycle?

ada8000 out to tascam in, and tascam out to ada8000 in?

I recorded 2 songs today before i noticed that they don't play back right after being bounced....and really don't know what to do next.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Sounds like your sample rate is changing to a higher rate,

Set for 24 bit and 44.1 on both devices....i'm lost.

you aren't giving the ada8000 anything to slave to--best option is to get a bnc cable and run it fromt eh tascam out to the ada8000 in, then set ada8000 to slave to word clock.

this way, it's got a dedicated signal to slave to.

I loved my fw1884 when i had it...very cool units.

Thank you very much for your advice. I will pick up a bnc cable monday afternoon! I also really like the 1884, the behringer popping/clicking really sucks though. 1884 has always worked great. Will this cable enable my audio to play back correctly, even if it was recorded with the behringer set to master?

pretty sure that it will play back fine as long as you play back at the same sample rate that it was recorded at.

also--the behringer unit will only slave to 44.1 or 48k...so make sure your sessions are 44.1 or 48k...that could cause issues too

good luck
