Hello. So I was looking at the MOTU 828mkII and I see 8 in and out analog jacks. Now, what I don't understand is this whole ADAT Optical I/O thingy.
http://www.motu.com/products/motuaudio/828/inout.html Theres a diagram showing the whole setup, but I don't get the ADAT I/O thing... what plugs into that? Is it possible to get 8 more ins and outs with this and be able to record 16 tracks at the same time? I don't understand what the whole ADAT thingy is... could someone explain what it is and what it does or maybe show me to a site where I can learn myself? Thanks! -Lotus -------------------- Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0Ghz Rev. C, 2.5GB ram, 160GB External HD via FW800, FireBox, Logic Pro 7.1.1.

hi lotus,
adat is great, it allows 8 channel in digital, you can buy external AD converter for example which has 8 XLR Mic-Preamps and connect the box to your system via single adat cable (yeah, you should be able to record 16 tracks (some hosts doesn't support so many channel at-once-recording, most should do the job).. i plan to connect my g5 with pc via 2 adats (2x 8in/8out), so i have 8 stereo in/ 8stereo out digital quality connection. You can connect quality effect devices, digital mixers, very useful in digital domain.. |

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks a bunch, but now, what about this Apogee Rosetta AD/DA converter. How does this work? I understand it doesn't have the ADAT, but this is another question.
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Rosetta800192/ I don't understand where this comes in on the chain of recording... is there a cable you plug into there that gives you the I/Os you need? One last thing, do you have an example of what interface I could plug ADAT to get 8 more I/O?
