Dumping ADAT tracks into Audition

[RawDepth]

I wish to dump my Adat tracks to the harddrive and into Adobe Audition. I have 6 tapes that together comprise a full session, i.e. drums on one tape, guitars on another, etc. They were made in a studio with multiple adats sync’d together. Since I only have one Alesis Black Face, I can only dump them one tape at a time.

I hooked up the lightpipe to my sound card and all 8 tracks recorded just fine. I cued up the second tape and recorded more tracks but they are out of sync with the first 8. Hmmm! I am using the “Locate” function on the adat to cue up the start point on every tape but they still won’t line up in Audition.

I really didn’t want to manually move each track in the multitrack. I may never get them all in line that way.

It would be nice to sync (slave) the software to the Alesis so it will autostart, but I don’t think Audition is capable of syncing with anything that does not use SMPTE.

Any ideas?
