Hello,

I have heard rumors lately that ADAT lightpipe is on the lower end of the quality spectrum when it comes to patching digital audio signals.

Anyone heard the same?

Are any of you using ADAT transfer during your projects with satisfying results?

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.

I am having problem with the following config:

Anybody light pipe'n a Rosetta 800 to an 896? How is it work'n out? I'm ask'n cause I have an 896 and I should be get'n my Rosetta in the mail any day now.

This may be stupid, but i'm rather new to all this. (a completely original opening line for a first question though you must admit)
Anyway, i need to know if there is a piece of hardware to run lightpipe into from a Radar or Nuendo, and convert it to firewire for my iBook?

Howdy

Is there a box that converts multiple 2-channel digital signal into a single 8-channel signal?

For example, if I have a couple of 2-channel A/Ds, a synth with SPDIF out and maybe an FX unit, is there a box that will let me connect them in pairs to the 8 outs of the multi-channel connection?

So...

woot! I just found my long lost light pipe cables, so now I can have 8x fun!

Just thought I'd share that.
:s:

ljp :p:

Hey All;

Just upgraded my converters and stuff and had a couple questions:

I managed to get a used Lucid ADA8824 and Genx6 for an amazing price, and picked up an RME Digiface to use along with it-I've never used lightpipe/toslink stuff but understand how it all works fine.

Lately, because I think the ADAT XT-20 converters sound better than MOTU 2408's, I'll record-enable my ADAT XT 20 and feed this straight out through the lightpipe to the 2408 where it is recorded to Digital Performer. So only one analog to digital conversion is happening, though ADAT is passing off to MOTU via a very cheap cable. Am I crazy?
