Synchronizing Your Gear
Your computer is often used with other equipment: sound cards, MIDI
equipment, and digital tape decks or other digital recording tools. All
these devices can have their own built-in clocks or timing mechanisms.
When several pieces of equipment are used together, itÕs important that
they operate in synchronization. For this to happen, all the equipment
must rely on the same source of clock or timing information. Pro Audio
lets you use many different types of synchronization so that you can get
your work done quickly and efÞciently
