Okay I will print and gather my thoughts around this in order to make it easy
to understand.
We will need One eds card for main card (A) that will be used as a total
mix recorder where you will be able to record up to 8 different mixes of
the same song.
This card A will have a mec which onlt the spdif will be needed basically
on my scenario.
Also you will be needing another eds card lets name it (F) this is why my
scenario will have a total of 6 eds cards which can come down 4 cards to
get any real benefit, for 4 cards just eliminate cards C and D.
Now card F will have a mec too which will have an input card (option A)
OR an ADAT card (option B)
Card B will have a mec too with an analog output card (option A) as so for
the cards C,D and E.
NOW
L & R submix B gets connected to outs 1&2 of its analog out card
L & R submix C .......................1&2 of its analog out card
..............D........................1&2.............. .........
..............E........................1&2.............. .........
NOW
All outs ,we have four sets of analog outs 1&2 will get connected to MEC
F (card F) analog input from 1 to 8.
What have we done so far ?
We have routed all 4 indivindual submixes of cards B,C,D and E to submix
F on audiotracks 1,2 3,4 5,6 7,8.
ALL audio tracks are alligned !! because we have the same latency foe all
submixes so nothing to nudge here !
You begin to see the benefits so far.
card F serves as a stereo submixer where you can insert on stereo submixes
B,C,D and E any DX/VST or eds effect !
Now you need to be careful with latency.
Need faderworks ??
:)
NOW in continuing...
What are you monitoring ?
You are monitoring submix F analog outs or digital outs !!
You are not monitoring card A !!
How do we record the submix F (which has all audiotracks) ?
We patch the digital out of mec F to digital in of mec A .
Put record enable on tracks 1 and 2 on mec A and record !
To hear what you have recorded just monitor now from Mec 1.
WHY all the above ?
because many of you wanted to use inserts on every submix !
NOW option B
You will need an spdif to adat summing device like AI4 from Alesis.
Well it is AES to adat so you convert your spdif to AES either with a simple
resistor on a XLR or buy some canare AES/SPDIF transformers.
You will connect all spdif outs oof MEC B,C,D and E to AI4 and the adat out
of this to Mec F adat card.
This way you are sending DIGITALLY your submixes to card F and don't loose
much if anything...
I would like your thoughts and maybe suggestions to better this !

Dimitrios
