MPC settings for ADAT multitracking ? Please help !

Ntalec, what do you mean when saying that the ADAT of the 5000 "has locked settings" and you have to 'lower the quality'. I already tracked out three times 5-6 tracks simultaneously through the ADAT (just to learn some things) and there were perfectly recorded in my Samplitude at 44100khz. My RME is set to 44100khz. And I'm so happy and somewhat ... proud because I've never had a projects so quick and perfectly tracked out and SYNCED . It's a huge luxury for me to have my projects perfectly synced without countless plays and stops trying to make them sync. Although the same old latency is still here and the recorded project is not in sync with the entire Samplitude tempo which is not a problem for me, it only adds some discomfort when I have to record additional material from my synths in Samplitude because I always have to rearrange the recorded material and move it a lil bit forward.

Yes Lampdog, i got it ! And you guys, especially Lampdog helped me a lot. Thank you ! At least for now I don't have any issues. I still have the issue with the latency between the MPC and the PC but if I buy that sync-lock machine this problem will be gone too. These syncing machines are probably some alien made stuff - very valuable things !

Well i bought the RME 5-6 days ago and when installing the software I just set the buffer to 128 which I think should not give any latency I have not tried other buffer settings. Do you think I should do it ?

Yeah i don't set it too low although my PC is fast but I'll experiment with the lower settings. I don't have a 96 setting for buffer, the lower one here is 64, followed by 32. I'll try on 64 ...

I would never run PT at 44.1 or 16 bit since I also track vocals.
Due to this the ADAT on the 5k is unuseable to me.

They should have done a better job implementing the ADAT since it was a standard feature.
Was excited about it when I first got the 5k but didn't take long to pass on trying to use it.

I´m getting that Innerlock system too. Can´t figure out which one of the two though....

I asked the people from Innerlock which one should i choose for syncing an MPC5000 with the PC and they answered that Sync-Gen II Pro is the only choice for my case.

Nice. Thanks!

Locked in nicely....

btw. Innerclock has a youtube channel. In the latest vid they show how to set it up on a basic level. Getting mine next week!!!!!
