Hi all. I am wondering what different uses everyone is using with their ADAT
card (try not to get to technical). I bought one a while back to interface
with a ADAT tape machine for backup, but never acquired one. I know there
are a limited amount of mixers out there (with in price reason) that have
a ADAT out so you could easily bring in 8 tracks from a mixer via the ADAT
card. Are you people finding other uses. I am not a ADAT expert, but isn't
the lightpipe 8in AND 8out via the lightpipe ADAT card? Anyway, if i don't
find some use for this thing, I may consider to let go of it... Just trying
to get some ideas other than traditional ADAT card to ADAT tape.

Hi Ed,

You can use it

with multi channel pres that have ADAT out

to interface to another audio card (say RME) on another coumputer, or the
same computer to fly tracks out for external processing

to interface to another audio card to fly in virtual instruments that paris
doesn't support

to interface with effects boxes that have ADAT connections

basically anything that requires realtime digital connections to another
setup.

I use MOTU 2408s and a 308 essentially as a big digital patchbay. The ADAT
I/O allows me to patch in my PARIS rig for piping to external fx or using
separate outboard converters. Sometimes used to pipe to mixing desk, although
I tend to mix in PARIS mostly. For digital interconnects ADAT (who cares
if they ar only 20 bit!) comes in handy.

If you do any real time rendering, you can also loop the in
and out to render 8 tracks at a time.
