Re: Multiple Sound Cards and resolving MIDI clock

[Leo Cavallo <cavallo@dada.it>]

hi

if you need the spdif out only (no matter for ultra clean analog outs) get
an old AWE 64 gold. The Live is a pain in the arse, major driver problems
and difficult installation. take an old 64 gold. I've mounted my gina and
gold, now GOld and MOTU2408, and it works flawlessly. Very good for 
software
synths. You run the appz on the GOld and record the digital out with the
GIna (not so good with virtual synths). 
it's a brilliant combination....

you need a virtual midi cable to sync two or more appz
