APPLICATION – SECOND FIREWIRE PORT
On the Multi Digital card there are two Firewire sockets that facilitate many uses. Firewire
is a peer to peer network that allows for multiple devices to be connected to each other in
a 'daisy chain' format. This allows the use of chaining an external hard drive and console
from the PC or Mac.
APPLICATION – ADAT I/O
ADAT is a long accepted method of digital transfer. Devices such as the Alesis ADAT XT-8 were
used to record live audio long before Firewire or USB was an audio connectivity standard. The
reliability and resilience of ADAT makes the setup of a system straightforward. By patching
direct outs, sub mix or mixes to the ADAT outputs of the Multi Digital card, signals can be
sent to devices such as the Tascam HS-8 or similar hard disk recorders — ideal for recordings
in small venues where carrying a laptop is not ideal.
