Pro Tools + Fantom + s/pdif + MIDI = HEADACHE!

[LCD]

Whats good,

I thought I'd post this here because I'm sure SOMEBODY can relate to what i'm going thru...

I recently bought a Fantom X8. I'm trying to sync my keyboard to Pro Tools M-Powered via s/pdif and MIDI beat clock. Here's how I have it set up:

I have the Fantom hooked to an M-Audio Projectmix via s/pdif and via MIDI into the Projectmix directly. By enabling MIDI beat clock on the Projectmix and slaving the Fantom I was able to control it thru PT 7.1.1 on Mac. This lets me play my beats thru Pro Tools and everything seems fine, but as soon as I try to record each track individually, they don't line up. Everything is just OFF... What can I do to fix this??

Any help is appreciated

Just a longshot. Many keyboards i've seen with spdif run on 48 kHz. Could be something iffy with that. Does it line up if you run analog in from the Phantom ?

When I switched to analog it stopped syncing with the computer. Even when I changed the settings... but even so, my Fantom runs at 44.1

Maybe your sample buffer is not set low.
check your sample buffer.
because if you decrease it your lineup troubles are over.

64 ,128, to rec.

512 + to mix

Well I lowered the sample rate to 128 (the lowest it would go) and it helped some but things were still a bit off.... i'ma try to do this with analog ins when i get home tonight
