Multiple audio interfaces

[LittleJJ]

Anyone try this? Using an Apollo firewire interface and a Focusrite Scarlet 1820 at the same time with DP9.
THe Focusrite has Wordclock in/out so I should be able to sync from the Apollo, but I wonder if the Focusrite interface application and UAD "Console" will be able to co-exist.
THANKS!

Not those two interfaces in particular, but I usually have more than one interface connected, and one is a Scarlett. The other can be a MOTU FW, Lexicon USB, Soundflower or internal audio. If they are both compatible with Core Audio, which is necessary to have them work at all with DP, just Shift Click them in the Setup menu where you select the audio interface, and designate one of them as the master for timing/clocking.

You might want to set the host buffer multiplier to 2. All is explained in the Getting Started manual.

I regularly use three ULN-8 interfaces connected to DP and have done so for years, no problems.

Thanks for the helpful responses. I'm encouraged. Do folks use a BNC cable
To synchorize their interfaces with word clock?

I use a BNC between a MOTU 828-3 and a 2408-2. In theory I could use ADAT, but that doesn't work reliably on my setup.

Yes. WC. But last year I had trouble with the 3rd box syncing so I used AES/EBU with that one. But I had used WC fir many years on all three boxes. I don't know whether the problem is still there or what it is but I just left it like that. Box 1-2 WC and box 3 AES.
