I was trying to connect these two units together, M-audio being a main interface connected to PC through firewire. I connected MOTU 8-pre out into M-audio IN with optical cable. Pro Tools were running and froze right away. So I restarted computer, and can't seem to find any sign of MOTU connected on the PC. Pro Tools say that paths for inputs 5 - 32 are not found.
I had some pops and clicks last night that I traced to the optical cable in my ADAT connection. Anyone have any insight into good quality cable brands for optical?
I need to be able to switch the toslink cable inputs for two D-A units. The messy way is to manually move the cables around which is a headache. Can anyone suggest a switch that can handle the bandwidth of an ADAT signal without disrupting the optical signal.
I have tried one from maplins but I suspect it was only designed for S/PDIF because I get errors in the signal.
Hello. I'm wondering if there are different qualities fo optical cables. If so, are there any brands you can recommend?
(My local store has fostex (cheap) and Audio-Technica (more than twice the price)).
thanks
