In Reply to: Re: Are the sonic benefits of clock-syncing signficant? posted by Roland on March 24, 2002 at 14:36:41:
I noticed that a lot of mastering pros seem to like Weiss digital gear, such as their EQ1 and their DS1 limiter/compressor, but these units do not have the capability to be clock-synced. Would digital EQ and compressors fall under the same umbrella as far as your post above is concerned...? Or are there scenarios where, in mastering studios, units like these could be installed in ways that syncing to one clock is not really necessary? (From your post, I'm guessing your answer would be that they would be better off to be synced to one clock under all scenarios, but I'm trying to make sure.)Thanks -

All gear "sync's" to digital clock. If its in the digital domain it has to. There is always something that is being seen as the master. Weiss gear is well considered, but there are plenty of other great pieces of mastering kit out there. Your question is really asked the wrong way round. If you don't have clock syncing you have major problems, that are definitely audible. In my studio, I have a Sadie mastering system, that I leave set to automatic. That way if it recieves master clocking it slaves, if not it acts as master. If you get clock problems it doesn't take much to hear it, usually starts with odd clicks then moves on to distortion. In the case of a CD player with a external DA convertor, I would expect your DA convertor to be the clock source, although it will probably be buffering the data anyway.Regards
