:) If all else fails, can they burn you waves on disk, or even CD, then just line up the tracks in your mac? Even if there are 8 seperate tracks of drums, they could place each on a seperate CD track.
Just a suggestion,

Thank you, that is the obvious that i overlooked.

Blake!

Welcome to R.O.!

Steve.

So i guess this means there is no converter or junction box to go from lightpipe to firewire to connect a mixer to the iBook either?
Sorry for the persistent stupidity, and thanks again for taking the time.

The closest thing would be something like a Presonus Firestation or a MOTU 828, which will give you a lot more than just a Lightpipe connection...but they'll likely be much more useful in the long run.

:) Right now I am looking into the apogee big ben clock, check on this stand alone unit. You will always have a use for this if it works out. Some of what I found out so far...

With an eye toward future connectivity standards, Big Ben has room to grow with a Firewire card option that will provide clocking and format conversion functionality to Firewire equipped services.

Big Ben gives you the option of real-time format conversion. Use Big Ben's intuitive digital display to go from S/PDIF to AES, AES to ADAT, ADAT to S/PDIF, etc."

Just something else to look at,

Thanks for all the help i've looked at all the devices and am trying to decide which way to go.
I have been using Pro Tools LE with an MBox, but need more inputs and i don't know whether i should go Digi 002 rack or the Presonus Firestation with Nuendo, if i do switch is there a better way to move profects than OMF? Everytime i use it it's all screwy. Maybe i should post a new topic, since this is off the lightpipe yop firewire subject, sorry.
