I posted this in another forum where nobody seems to have an answer, so I ask you here: I do live-recordings, usually with a PM5D, optical out 48 Channels into Pro Tools. Last time, the (lacie!!) hard drive sucked, and it was very unpleasant to get DAE - error messages during recording. (F******) I want to backup the recording, no wait, better, i want to record twice. One time into PT, one time to a whatever - Alesis or Fostex or some other kind of standalone HD-Recorder. I want to have a PT Session immediately and want to give the clients their .wav files right after the show, but if there goes something wrong with it, I want at least to have a secure backup. So there was the idea of just splitting the adat optical signals. Does exist some kind of Y-cable for optical? Or have I to buy something like the RME ADI 648 to have the job done? http://www.rme-audio.com/english/madi/adi648.htm did I miss a alternative? any advice? thank you very much!! Philipp |

Thanks Ronny, This is very helpful, every sentence of it. I only would use a UPS for a DAW in a Live Recording because a powerfailure can destroy the filecatalogue on a hd - after that its pretty hard to get the tracks back. But with this D2424 I don't see the evidence of an UPS as you say its formatted for linear recording. I guess, you can't loose something allready beeing on disk exept the disk itself brakes (right?) I'm doing few liverecordings a year, but now its seems quite clear instead of hiring a split I'd better hire such a fostex machine again - I just have to make sure the disk is fresh formatted |
