Description
The term ADAT has come to stand for both the original digital tape machines and also for the lightpipe data transmission system. The ADAT lightpipe has become an audio industry standard for digital data transmission between units other than the original ADAT tape machines.

RME adi-8pro ADAT optical problem

Hi I just purchased this unit used and it doesn't seem to be working properly. The person I bought it from said they would take it back so thats not the problem. The problem is that I can't get a digital signal into or out of the adc. The ADAT optical seems to be broken. I should note that at no time has there ever been light coming out of the toslink cable.

Dumping ADATS - Go to DAW or Hard Disk

I have lots of outboard gear and don't want to stop using all of it. Great River, VMP-2, Cranesong, Lexicon, RNC's, etc. Have a 24 channel Mackie that could stay or go.
I would like to record either DAW or computer. Problem is, after reading 'till my eyes bleed, I'm not much closer than I was. Need 24 to 32 channels of digital with use of plugins editing, and etc.

From ADATS to what?
