Mike,
What happens on the Fostex machines if you set them to Record at or
TC (internal sync) and 48K sample rate (No pull up or Pull Down
Selected)
Do they have a wordsync rate of 47952 or 48000? I know the files are
stamped at 48K. But what frequency is the internal word clock running at?
Shouldn't it be running at 48000?
