Howdy All,
I am reading so many conflicting reports on this matter. I have a Fostex D160 , and want to tranfer the files (tracks) to my PC for editing. I have been doing this via analog connections, but now want to go completely in digital format, via the SPDIF in/out on the D160.
My question is this, if I have a sound card in my PC that has SPDIF in/out, will I be able to transfer the tracks, then read and edit them as WAV? Is that a possible file format coming from an optical connection (I have never tried this)?
Also, will I be able to send them back to the D160 for mixing?
The manual says you can do this via a SCSI device, but says the SPDIF is just for backup...but so many people report this working fine, and others have enormus trouble...what's the lowdown on this type of transfer.
Pat.
