this is my first post, but ive been watching here for a while taking a lot of great info.

okay, i want to move up to a better recording setup at my house, and i was thinking of getting an Alesis ADAT recorder, but i have a few questions that someone here could most likely answer.

I am currently recording using a silver face ADAT and and
Fostex VM200 digital board. I also record some things to
the ADAT with an analog board for warmth but always mix
with the Fostex digital board. The Fostex has an optical
connection to the ADAT (8 tracks in/out) and an optical
S/PDIF in/out to my computer for mastering. The computer

Hi guys, i have an old ADAT model and a digi 001 and i want to know which converters would you prefer. I heard there are some differences between ADAT models, in that case could you specify which model are you tlaking about.
Thak you in advance. eFe

hey I'm really getting sick of pci, firewire, and usb2 interfaces. my computer is new and real nice for mixing (athlon 3200, 1gig ddr3200) but my tracks are ALWAYS being ruined by one little pop. i hate this! anyways, is an ADAT unit the answer to my problems? can i just get an 8 track unit and input all my line signals? i already got all my eq and preamps, etc.

As far as I know the information being passed through an ADAT Optical Digital out can only go as high as 48K. But I was researching the Focusrite Octopre and it states that there is a new ADAT spec that now makes it possible to use ADAT to transfer 96k digital information. Has any one heard about this? Or does any one know where I can get info on this new spec?

I'm looking for a nice 8 mic preamp unit with ADAT out for recording live gigs. I have some nice mic preamps at home (Avalon/Grace) and I don't intend these pres to be as good as those. I know my live recordings will not be as good as my other recordings because of the varrious rooms and track bleed. I will be feeding the ADAT into my MOTU 828mkII.

Hi,

I have an optical connection from my PCI card (Nuendo 96/52) to my ADAT XT. I'm trying to send 8 channels of digitial audio to the ADAT.

I have two questions.

alright, my MOTU 828 interface of course has a fiber optic in and out (ADAT?). i work with hometheaters and theater installs, and I understand that this single connection can transfer 8 discrete channels or audio. Can I use this connection to send 8 channels of audio being recorded to a DAT machine with the same connection? Is this how this works?

My AI-3 converter died on me the other day!
I was using it to convert AD into my MOTU 828. I have an old Blackface ADAT that I havent used in a while but still works, is there a way I can use it just for the conversion process, then go into my 828 via the optical out on the back of the ADAT?
thanks
Brett

OK, I would like to be able to hook up more outboard gear to my setup. I have already made use of the analog 1/4" i/o's. What do I have to do to be able to hook up to the ADAT/digital i/o's on my 001? I am using a 733mHz quicksilver G4 as well.

Many thaks in advance,
Eric
