Hey folks, I'd like some help making a decision. I have an XT-20 ADAT with 200 hours on it, that I used to record my old band. At the time, it was a good move.

Now I have a small project studio set-up with an 828mkII and a G4 Mac. My typical signal chain is Mic > VMP-2 > 828mkII (A/D) > Mac.

?

My band is about to record a 10 song demo and we are faced with a big decision about which recording rig to use.

I have a rig consisting of 3 20 bit ADATs, a Tascam M-1516 mixer, several RNCs and other decent compressors, Drawmer noise gates, several Digitech TSR-24 and Lexicon reverbs, several Rane SP-15 parametric EQs, and some other good quality rack gear.

Hi all,
Does anyone know if ther is a sound card that could give me at least 2 ADAT(16 digital)outputs and AES/EBU input/output for a G4?
Thanks
Mac

I'm using Pro Co Excalibur cables currently, which are 20'. I'm wanting to cut down on excessive cable length to ensure the highest quality recordings as possible on my home studio budget.

1) Including the patch cable, and entire routing, what total cable length should I be shooting for, with an unbalanced cable?

I've been using an Echo Mia for a while now but i recently purchased a Marian Marc ADAT card and a Behringer ADA8000.
Installed it all without a hitch and it all works very well(running both the card and ada8000 at 24/44.1).

Hey, i am a newcomer to the board and was wanting some advice. I've been doin some local recording for about a year now, using my digi001. I am wanting to upgrade to a digital mixer and hard disk. I've been looking at the Tascam DM24 as well as a panasonic board, and for the hard disk, i was lookin at the Tascam mx2424 and the Alesis HD24 as well as a fostex.

Folks,

what's an "ADAT Bridge 16 Bit"

and what do they do?

Jzk8qwHi,
I'm trying to find a device that would split an 8 channel lightpipe signal into 2. I have an 8-channel preamp with 24-bit/44.1khz ADAT Lightpipe output.

I need to send a signal to my computer for recording and also to my digital mixer for monitoring. I just need a simple 2-way splitter, but it needs to not affect the signal in any way.
