Word Clocking Scenario

[Michael P Clark]

Scenario

1. Recording master 2 track audio to a HD Tape Deck, Record Run TC

2. Backup 2 track to 744t

3. ISO tracks to Boom Recorder via MOTU Traveler

Plan:

1. Send TC and WC from deck to 744t

2. Send TC from 744t to MOTU audio input

3. Send S/PDIF signal from 744t to S/PDIF in on MOTU (not sure I need to record that input?)

Is this still considered daisy chaining word clock?

You don't really need the video deck's WC--and is it really 48k WC or TriLevel Sync?  In any case the 744 will clock itself to the incoming TC just fine (one connection instead of 2).  You can clock the Traveler to the incoming TC from the 744 (or the video deck) since you need to input it anyway to get it to BR, or save the input and use AES or SPDIF or WC from the 744 to clock the Traveler (TC or no) and send the TC from either the 744 or the video deck to the audio input of the computer and tell BR to look for it there.

Thanks, Phillip! That makes things easier for me.
