Chapter 6: Synchronizing Pro Tools and ADAT Using a JL Cooper DataSync2

7
Save the DataSync2/MIDI interface con-
figuration document as your current OMS
setup.
In Pro Tools:
8
In Pro Tools, choose Setups > Peripherals.
From the Synchronization Device pop-up,
choose Generic MTC Reader. From the Port
pop-up, choose the device that you defined
earlier in the OMS Studio Setup window (in
this case, the DataSync2). Alternatively, if
the name of the OMS device does not ap-
pear here, choose the serial port where
your MIDI interface is connected.
9
In the Pro Tools Session Setup window
• Set Channel 1–2 input to ADAT.
• Set the Pro Tools Sync Mode to ADAT
Optical.
• Choose the sample rate that matches the
material on the ADATs.
• Choose the SMPTE frame rate that
matches the rate chosen on the
DataSync2.
10
In Pro Tools, create the number of des-
tination audio tracks you want to transfer
from the ADAT(s). Make sure the destina-
tion tracks each have a different voice as-
signment in the Pro Tools session.
11
Use the Input Selector of each destina-
tion track to assign its input. Inputs 1-8
correspond to the ADAT Bridge I/O’s Group
A inputs. Inputs 9-16 correspond to ADAT
Bridge I/O’s Group B inputs. If you have ad-
ditional ADAT Bridges/ADATs, assign their
inputs as well. (With Ch 1–2 input set to
ADAT, Pro Tools automatically sets I/O
pop-ups to ADAT Bridge Group A/B input
& output labels.)
12
Select a Pro Tools monitoring mode
(Auto Input Monitor or Input Only Moni-
tor).
13
Choose Display > Time Code.
14
Choose Setups > Preferences, and then
click Operations. Choose the desired
Pro Tools online recording mode:
• Record Online at Time Code (or ADAT)
Lock
– or –
• Record Online at Insertion/Selection.
If you are not familiar with these modes,
refer the to the Pro Tools Reference Guide.
15
Record enable your Pro Tools destina-
tion tracks.
16
At this point, you may want to confirm
that time code is being received by
Pro Tools. Do this by pressing Play on the
ADAT. The Current Time counter in the up-
per right hand corner of the Pro Tools Ses-
sion Setup window should begin running.
Make a note of the SMPTE frame number
where the time starts. If there appears to be
an offset, you’ll need to enter the offset
number as the Pro Tools session start time
in the Session Setup window.
