I was unclear, the 8 outputs/tracks of PNW are in sync during the same run.Well I naively thought Pam was just that, a master clock, with its description on MG proudly stating that it "provides 8 highly editable outputs producing various control voltage signals correlated and synced to a BPM based master clock." Which obviously doesn't mean that it could be used as a master clock by itself. Obviously!Yes the issue is there is no ONE master clock in this workflow. You can’t presume two different tracks of PNW (or any clock generator) will be sync if they don’t know each other. As I mention you must record your clock and play it back to sync yours overdubs.
Or let an audio pulse track be the clock, same idea but even your first recording must be treated as an overdub in sync with the clock.
The idea is to have one track for clock reference and always refer to it. You can record this track on the first shot, or use an existing one
Why can't I presume that two different tracks of PNW (or any clock generator) will sync? I thought that not changing the BPM between takes, having the BPM rock solid, and aligning the recorded tracks on a DAW afterwards would suffice and would be a reasonable method. I mean what does it matter if those to PNW's don't know each other - shouldn't all they need to know be the BPM, if the device was well made?
But I don't expect two distinct "runs" will stay in sync.
I can't explain why, I suppose that time precision can't be absolute but that's my point of view.
