So you're wanting to lock up the timelines of two separate Paris systems eh?
Since the Paris ADAT module can only output ADAT timecode, the only way I
can see that this could be done would be by MTC and then its not going to be
sample accurate........close, but not perfect. Perhaps a couple opf
Steinberg Midex units would be best.
Perhaps the oft maligned Paris SMPTE module could work here?
.........and I'm curious as to why you would want to do this, but hey, I hope
you succeed.
;o)

Hi DJ.. thanks for offering advice. I use to have 2 EDS cards in the same
PC and I only ever needed 16 tracks at that time. Since I was a newbie
then, I couldn't figure out "easily" how to utilize the other 16
channels.... and I still scratch my head about it. Paris seen the other
card, but I suppose my skill level wasn't up-to-snuff to figure out how to
record and play 32 channels... I been using Paris for quite a few years and
I just do simple 16 channel recording. I know there are virtual channels,
but you know, I never used them... maybe someday I'll actually read up on
how to do that... lol.
The reason I want to do separate units is in my main studio I have the one
card (16 channels). The separate one I want for a somewhat portable system.
If I record 16 channels elsewhere with the portable system, I'd like to
bring it back to the main and sync, so I could be able to continue with the
project(s) on the 16 channels on the main, with the 16 channels on the
portable.
I guess perhaps this isn't too realistic, but I thought it was possible. I
was also hoping to do this without purchasing more equipment, besides sync
cables.
Oh well, I'll scratch it this if I have to purchase more equipment to get
them to sync... thanks again...
