Re: GR-55 (Re: What is Boyson doing exactly?)



No digital clock issue here, Richard. Right now the GR-55 is the only
audio interface connected to the computer. When I use two RME
interfaces and connect them by S/PDIF or digital ADAT one goes as
master and the other as slave. But there isn't a possibility for a
digital clock frequency conflict here with the GR-55. I think it is
just another proof for the saying that in digital audio you always
"get what you pay for" ;-))

For the stuff I do the GR-55 doesn't have a chance of replacing a RME
interface. I was just saying that for a freshman starting out in live
electronics performing plus studio producing a GR-55 can be a quick
starter.
