[Fmpro] word clock question

[Christopher Alpiar]

Hmm well the studio I go to uses the digi word clock master, so  
probably their setup is kosher, but so hard to tell what is really the  
culprit

I still like the idea of someone on this list buying for me a nice pro  
tools HD rig! :D

Who's volunteering?? hmmmMM??
