Recording with an ADAT
You can use Digi 001 to interface with an ADAT, either to record tracks from an ADAT into
Pro Tools LE for editing, or to record tracks from Pro Tools LE to an ADAT.
Using Output Pairs
Because of the way that outputs function in Pro Tools LE, each track “looks for” a stereo
output pair. This means that in order to record to eight ADAT tracks, you have to send 4
pairs of Pro Tools LE tracks (each pair panned hard left and right) to Digi 001’s 4 pairs of
ADAT Optical Digital outputs.
To record ADAT tracks into Pro Tools LE:
1 Connect the Optical Out connector from your ADAT deck to the Optical In connector on
the back of the Digi 001 PCI Card.
2 Open or create a session in Pro Tools LE.
3 Record enable up to 8 audio tracks (depending on how many tracks are used on the ADAT
tape).
4 Route ADAT Optical Inputs 1–8 to your eight tracks.
5 Click Record in the Transport window.
6 Click Play in the Transport window to begin recording, then press Play on the ADAT.
7 When playback from the ADAT tape is finished, click Stop in the Transport window, or
press the Spacebar.
