TI as a sync master solved my problems

[diy]

Since I've used the ti as a master clock device in my setup, most of the common problems disappeared. Not a single stuck note yet, near perfect apr timing and the clicks are very rare now. I think that the built in clock of my emu 1820m has much more jitter than my TI. Has anybody tested the above configuration ? I'm very curious . One of these days I'll try to slave the TI with an apogee rosetta which has one of the best clocks and see if it gets better.

You REALLY ought to communicate this with Access-Music!

(Any clue may be the key to the solution.)

How do you do that??within your sequencer???are you using your Ti as your main soundcard???

DIY: I've experienced the same behaviour.

The only problem with that is you can't get 24bit audio from the Virus, which kinda sucks

I agree that 16 bit audio sucks but the TI sounds awesome even in this case.

No, I have the TI connected via spdif in my soundcards input and I 've synced the soundcard to external (TI) clock.

You can get 24bit via the spdif and since you've slaved to it you can send the audio in sync.

Ps technically if your running the TI asio the TI is the master sync. If your running a third party asio and using VC then it might be good to set your TI to sync from the spdif of you other sound card BUT it is impossible while the USB cable is plugged in. The TI syncs to the computer via USB and I'm guessing it defaults to 48 and follows the asio driver of the TI or the VC. This last point I'm only guessing.

On the better performance point you raised I experienced this once or twice. Like sample accurate notes etc but could never reliably reproduce this result.

I'm having problems getting SPDIF to work..
I'm getting 2 different msgs:
"Clock problem at spdif INPUT"
"Illegal sample rate"

my sample rate goes constantly from 44.1 to 48 and I can hear lots of crackles. anyone has ideas?

If your using SX try:

project/project setup/sample rate

Nope unfortunately it even happens when I'm not using Cubase
