API A2D Sync with Focusrite?

[Kingsofsleep]

I would guess that the A2D probably has better converters without being able to A/B them. You probably want to run s/pdif out from the A2D into the Pro 40. The Pro 40 can probably be clocked from the A2D and that's probably how I would do it. You can select a sync source for the Pro 40 in the mixcontrol software which should be set at s/pdif at that point you should be pretty much in business. Also make sure to set the sample rate on the A2D and in the mixcontrol software to match. Then just choose the s/pdif input in logic, and output to your monitors. This should get you started, it's hard to tell you exactly how things need to be configured to get it going without having both pieces in front of me but hopefully this gets you going. If it doesn't maybe we can work from there.

the saffire converters are pretty great, but I love API stuff. just what King said, I'd go into the API then to the 40. I use one too and love it! As long as you know the monitoring software it should be a breeze
