Hi, I would much appreciate any ideas on a simple and cheap way to
build a Powerbook based mobile recording setup for 24 channels with mic
preamps and can sync to external word clock. (Can't use Firepod as it
won't take external clock) Thanks. DannyD



I notice that both Alesis and Focusrite have units with 8 mic channels
and 2 ADAT inputs. One of those combined with a couple of Behringer
ADA8000's looks like one of the more cost effective solutions.

I wish someone would make a simple laptop interface with just 2 ADAT
ins and 2 ADAT outs for those of us with ADAT convertors already. The
ADAT connections would also solve the ground loop problems that often
plague modern laptops.

Cheers

James.

Is the Hammerfall DigiFace still available? It's bulky, but
it's got 3 ADAT in/out and is PCMCIA... I have not used
one...
