i am thinking about the alesis fire port to back up to cd does it work
and is it faster then the eithernet i am using now. we are currently
using adats to back stuff up but we are downgrading the recordings. it
is haerd for me to trust cd but it seems to be a good solution at least
i could burn three backups for each song. Garf Cooper

The fireport is much, much faster than transferring via ethernet. If you
have an Adat-HD you really should have the fireport. As for backing up
to CD's, that should work fine. You should also consider DVD-R's. In a
lot of cases, you can fit your whole project on one disc. Either way, I
would burn at least 2 copies of the discs just to be safe.

It works great.

and is it faster then the eithernet i am using now.

way more than 10 x faster. Is that enough? :-)

we are currently
using adats to back stuff up but we are downgrading the recordings.

How? Is it not just a digital clone on tape?

it is haerd for me to trust cd

Why?

I'm told that it works, and it's definitely faster and probably more
dependable than using the Ethernet port. It's one of the smarter
things that Alesis came up with.

His Adats are either 16 or 20 bit and his ADAT-HD is 24 bit. I think
that is what he is referring to.
