DUMPIN' 8 TRAKS AT ONCE ON YOUR CPU FROM ADAT

[EDJ]

I JUST WANT ASK EVERYBODY IF THEY EVER RECORDED 8 TRAKS AT ONCE ON THEIR COMPUTER FROM ADAT USIN' 8 OUTS FROM THE ADAT TO THE MIXER BUT USIN' AN R-BUS OR N-E-THANg OTHA THAN 8 INPUTS TO YOUR SOUNDCARD?

IN OTHA WORDS, HAVE YOU DUMPED 8 TRAKS SIMULTANEOUS WITHOUT 8 INPUTS?
IF NOT, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN IT DONE?
DO YOU DOUBT IT?
CAN IT REALLY BE DONE?

 

[BIG J]

I haven't done it myself personally, but you can dump it through the ADAT optical inputs

alesis adat light-pipe opticals.

 

[HERESY]

firewire. ask your friend if he has the DIF-AT option.

 

[EDJ]

I WILL HERESY. BUT YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO BRINg YO ASS AND SEE IT FOR YOURSELF.

SO THE ADAT OPTICAL DUMPS ALL 8 TRAKS SEPERATE AT ONCE??

 

[BIG J]

Yeah, Unless you're usin' a Higher sample rate, Like 88.2 or 96khz, then less tracks are available

SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE FROM A REgULAR OPTICAL CONNECTION?
