| Basic Sync Question Hi there, Sync has never been my cup of tea and I'd like to know if you could help me with a really basic setup since I'm not sure I'll do it right myself :-/ I have a Mac with PT HD and another PC that I use with Gigastudio. Right now, the PC is setup with MidiOverLan and I use PT to record my tracks. Both stations are clocked with a Big Ben. I'm going to replace my PC with a Mac Pro and I'm thinking about using Logic on the new Mac Pro to record my Midi Stuff and only use PT for recording/editing/mixing audio. So I'm going to have to sync both stations since I won't use PT anymore for Midi stuff. I don't have a Midi interface anymore since I'm using MidiOverLan now. How can easily I sync PT with Logic and the Big Ben? Bonus question: will there be a way to use my master keyboard controller on both stations? Thanks for your help! Vincent |

| Will the Logic DAW have any kind of an audio interface with word clock? If so, take a word clock out of the Big Ben and route it to the word clock input on the Logic hardware. OS X has a MIDI over Ethernet configuration in Audio MIDI Setup. Have one DAW send MTC over this virtual connection, and have the other DAW chase that. |

| Hi Jonathan, Thanks for the info. Yes my new computer will have an audio card with WC. I didn't know it was possible to chase MTC from Ethernet without a Midi interface. That's actually good news. It looks like it's not going to be that complicated... hopefully! Vincent |

| This doesn't apply to your WC issues, but it does apply to your workflow. I 've made the effort to do exactly that several times, and always end up abandoning it fairly quickly. Having two computers working in tandem like that and trying to maintain a creative flow is a nightmare. I think your best bet is to either switch audio and midi to Logic, or your midi over to PT. Just my $.02. |
