I have recently bought a Terratec DMX 6 fire 24/96 soundcard. I am currently in the process of trying transfer songs from my Fostex VF 16 via s/pdif to my computer. I am doing this using the VF 16's save mode through s/pdif. I am recording in to Cubase SX. However i am experiencing problems! Errors are occurring on the tracks forcing them slightly out of time with one another. When the wave form is spread out enough i can see the point where the errors are occurring. I am completely stumped as to where this problem is coming from or how to go about solving it!
Phillips - I don't know about this, but I do a similar thing with a VF80 and n-Track. Anyway, when I cut and paste the individual tracs out of the SPDIF stream and line them up in the editor, first time I play it they're all out of time, exactly as you describe.
Play it through a second time, and they are fine. Probably not helpful but i thought I'd mention it just in case.
By the way I record the digi in to the PC with Wavelab lite, which you will have with your Cubase. Might be worth trying that.
