I have been talking with BM Support, trying to understand how I can use an external clock with DaVinci Resolve. We currently mix audio in Pro Tools HD, using a high-end Antelope Audio word clock (via USB to the Windows computer). This is easy to set-up in Pro Tools.
This clock gives use a very solid, stable audio mix out of Pro Tools back into DaVinci Resolve.
I want to use the same clock with DaVinci Resolve to maintain the audio quality we get out of Pro Tools, not an "internal clock".
What I have been told is:
- There is no way to use my clock connected to the Windows computer, as I can do with Pro Tools HD.
- I need to buy both (1) the Fairlight Accelerator PCIe card and (2) the Fairlight Audio Interface. And it appears that, even then, I cannot use my Antelope Audio clock, but would be dependent on the Fairlight clock in their Audio Interface.
Is anyone using an external clock with DaVinci Resolve? My background is audio mixing/mastering, and all the good mixing studios I know use a high-end external clock. If you are not, how do you ensure you have good sample rate clocking?
Is anyone using this Fairlight gear? I have found no way to reach a Fairlight tech person who can explain this gear in detail. I have no idea how good the clock in the Fairlight Interface is; and in any case, I would prefer to use the clock I already own.
Thanks!
