Hey everybody,
I am new here, so please bear with me. I am also new to the wonderful world of adats so again, bear with me.
I have a problem. I have a tascam tmd4k with 3 adat i/o cards and 3 adats with the brc. I think I have come to the conclusion that my lightpipe cables are shit. I cannot get any levels on my adat meters with them.
Tonite, I hooked two 1/4" cables to aux sends 1 & 2 of the mixer to the analog ins 1 & 2 of adat #1, set levels, and recorded a song from the cd. I then hooked up a monster cable(borrowed from my dvd)from the digital out of the adat to the #1 slot i/o card of the mixer. Hit play on the brc, brought up the appropriate faders of the mixer, and I have music!
Now, I take the monstercable and hook it to the slot one output of the mixer to the digital input of adat #1. Start the cd....... Nothing. No matter what I do, I can't get any reading on my adat meters.
I swear that I have read somewhere, that for the digital I/O to work on the adats, that both input and output have to be hooked up.
In other words, you cannot just hook a lightpipe up to just the input and start recording.
Am I going nuts, or is this the way these damn things work? I am starting to get really pissed off. I am used to, turn the machines on, thread the tape, hit record, and make some music, DAMMIT!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
