Sync from ADAT to TripleDAT problem

I'm trying to dump 32 tracks of ADAT into TripleDat through Power Pulsar 16 Tracks at a time. I'm slaving the ADATs to the VRC and they seem to be fine at the beginning of the tape, but get about a minute off by the time they get to the end. It's driving me crazy!

ADAT's are known for that. What you're hearing is ADAT drift. Your clocks aren't really locking up. In fact you may have two clocks operating separately (asynchronously) and that's why by the end of the song they're off.

You have to get everything on the same clock source. This could involve a bunch of things so tell me more about the clocks in your system. Who's telling who to do what, slave, master, etc.
