How do I use ADAT outputs?

Using a Toslink cable, connect the ADAT output of the external device to OPTICAL INPUT of your Scarlett interface. Set all devices in the system to the same sample rate (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, etc.). Set your devices' clock settings so that all devices are receiving clock signal from a single master device.

What is ADAT interface?

The ADAT Lightpipe, officially the ADAT Optical Interface, is a standard for the transfer of digital audio between equipment. ... The protocol has become so popular that the term ADAT is now often used to refer to the transfer standard rather than to the Alesis Digital Audio Tape itself.

How do I add more outputs to my audio interface?

Click the little + sign in the lower left corner; an Aggregate Device box appears, and you'll see a list of available I/O. Check the interfaces you want to aggregate, and check “resample” for the secondary interface or interfaces. Now all input and output options will be available in your host program.

How do you set up Scarlett OctoPre?

Connect the Scarlett OctoPre to the receiving digital device via the ADAT OUT port(s) and connect a BNC cable from the digital device's word clock output to the OctoPre's WORD CLOCK IN connector. Select WORD CLOCK with the SYNC switch and also ensure that the sample rates on all devices match.

How does ADAT work in audio?

ADAT in is simply an optical protocol that allows you to connect an external device to your audio interface and transfer digital audio, and in this case, it means that you can expand the number of inputs on your audio interface by hooking it up to an external device.

Is ADAT analog or digital?

ADAT is an optical audio protocol designed to transfer digital audio to and from two audio devices. At 44.1/48kHz sample rates, ADAT can transport 8 channels of uncompressed digital audio to and from an interface and peripheral device with just one Toslink cable.

Is ADAT the same as optical?

ADAT Lightpipe uses the same type of optical cables and Toslink connectors as the S/PDIF two-channel optical digital audio protocol (discussed shortly). These cables can be purchased at your local recording-equipment store. ... It should be noted that ADAT is a universal protocol.

What is an ADAT cable used for?

Today “ADAT” is used as the standard abbreviation for the ADAT lightpipe protocol and is still used to transfer eight channels of digital audio over a single fiber optic cable. The ADAT digital interface has been adopted by many audio manufacturers as a compact way to transfer digital audio data between devices.

What does an ADAT do?

Today, ADAT is used to refer to the multi-channel transfer protocol that lets you expand your audio interface's I/O using external equipment. The Lightpipe carries the data. Alesis used the TOSLINK standard optical fiber cable — an even older digital standard invented in 1983 by Toshiba (TOShiba-LINK).

Is ADAT the same as Spdif?

ADAT Lightpipe uses the same type of optical cables and Toslink connectors as the S/PDIF two-channel optical digital audio protocol (discussed shortly). These cables can be purchased at your local recording-equipment store.

How many inputs do I need on my audio interface?

1: You'll need more than eight inputs

Many musicians consider an eight-input interface to be sufficient. But this is actually the minimum number of channels needed for recording a live rock band: four mics for your drum kit plus guitar, bass, vocals and a mono keyboard.

Can you plug in multiple audio interfaces?

You can use multiple audio interfaces simultaneously inside Logic Pro. First, you need to create an aggregate device in the Audio MIDI Setup utility.
