Sonar 3 and Fostex FD-8

I was wondering if anyone had some guidance on the following setup.
I have a Fostex FD-8, which I will be using along with a Behringer ADA8000 to record the drums and then mixing the drums down into Sonar. However when recording the drums I will be taking up all 8 track (via ADAT) on the Fostex so I will have no space on the Fostex for the backing track for the drums. I have always recorded this way and not with live guitars, makes life easier (for me and my drummer)
I was thinking a recording the backing track in Sonar and then syncing it up via Midi to the Fostex. Then using a midi clock, could I then record the drums to the Fostex and wherever I go on the Fostex I will sync up to the correct position in the backing track in Sonar... I hope this make sense!!
Anyway is this possible?

Feb 14, 2005 08:27 am according to what I read about the fostex unit you can only record two tracks at a time.
as a whole I have read some bad reviews of that product just now, not the best for recording drums, thats for sure...if you want to keep each mic isolated in the recording...
Feb 14, 2005 08:50 am I will work with the ADA8000 as the Fostex has ADAT capability meaning each mic will be isolated to an individual track.
The question is whether I can sync the Fostex with Sonar with time code?
Feb 14, 2005 08:53 am I couldn't tell you how, but yes, you should be able to, Sonar has a great deal of syncing options.

I do not understand how you are recording all 8 tracks at once individualy with an FD8?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
