ADAT Bridge I/O38

Setup A: Synchronizing

Pro Tools and ADAT with a

BRC

The following section explains how to syn-

chronize Pro Tools/ADAT with a BRC. In

this case, the BRC provides both the clock

reference signal and the positional refer-

ence. This enables you to synchronize the

ADAT and Pro Tools with near sample ac-

curacy. Pro Tools transport is controlled by

the BRC.

You can also utilize MIDI Machine Control

in this (and all other) sync setups. MMC

configurations are covered later in this BRC

section.

Synchronizing on Windows systems

When using Pro Tools on a Windows com-

puter, simply make sure your MIDI inter-

face is installed and operating correctly. In-

stead of choosing OMS or FreeMIDI device

names, Pro Tools popup menus of MIDI

ports simply list the available hardware

MIDI ports of the currently installed MIDI

Interface.

Recording Tracks from an ADAT to

Pro Tools Using a BRC

This setup explains how to perform a syn-

chronized ADAT-to-Pro Tools track transfer

using a BRC.

To transfer audio from ADAT to Pro Tools:

1 Connect the BRC and MIDI Interface to

your system as shown in Chapter 2.

On the BRC:

2 Make sure the EXT SYNC button is off

(unlit).

3 Enable the GEN SYNC button on the

BRC. This enables the BRC to generate time

code.

In OMS Setup (Macintosh Only):

4 On your computer, open the OMS Setup

application and conﬁgure the BRC and

your MIDI interface. (If you choose Alesis

in the Manuf pop-up menu, and BRC in the

Model pop-up in this dialog, the appropri-

ate settings will be conﬁgured automati-

cally). In OMS’ MIDI Device Info dialog,

enable Sends and Receives MTC for the

BRC. You must have an OMS device de-

ﬁned for the BRC if you haven’t already

done so. Click OK after conﬁguring the

OMS Device Info window, then connect

the BRC to the appropriate MIDI port in

the OMS Setup Window.

5 Save the BRC/MIDI interface conﬁgura-

tion document as your current OMS setup.

In FreeMIDI (Macintosh Only)

If you use Mark of the Unicorn’s FreeMIDI

system, conﬁgure it for the BRC according

to the instructions provided by Mark of the

Unicorn.
