ok,
I'm happy w/ my Emu 0404 soundcard as of now, but i'd really like to be able to record more than two tracks simultaneously. I'm running my mackie 1604 VLZ Pro into the 1/4" inputs from bus 1 & bus 2. What i'm wondering is if there's a way to connect up to the digital or optical inputs via my mixer (or some adapter to do so) so i could utilize those in PatchMix for more simultaneous tracking. This would be great when there's more than two folks playing at my place. I really only need 4 since i personally would bus a drum set - don't really like messing w/ 8 tracks of drums...yet
The I/O config. going into the 0404 is:
Two 1/4" Analog Inputs and Outputs - bus 1 & 2 in, out to channel 15 & 16
Optical 24-bit/96kHz S/PDIF In/Out (switchable to AES/EBU) - may get used for the PS2
Coaxial 24-bit/96kHz S/PDIF In/Out (switchable to AES/EBU) - what i would think could be tracked w/ a converter
MIDI In/Out - not gonna happen from what i've learned
First off, is it possible?
secondly, if so, what do i need to make it possible?
I was thinking something like the Art DIO to just take my other two buses in and put them out of the DIO as digital outs?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Thanks,
John J.
