Hi I’m using a Quantum with Studio One and Universal Control. I have an ADAT 8 mic pre and S/PDIF Apogee connected to the Quantum.

Which external device should I use as my clock source in Universal Control?

Thanks

John

More info. The spdif device, Apogee MiniMe only has SPDIF out (also has AES/EBU).

If I make the SPDIF device the clock source and connect the Quantum Word Clock Out to ADAT word clock in, will this work? Will it be stable?

The path would be SPDIF out to Quantum SPDIF in, Quantum Word Clock out to ADAT device word clock in, Quantum to iMac.
