I haven't thought about RADAR for a while.  I forgot how nice their stuff is.  We have 2 guys in town here with RADAR systems and everyone agrees, they sound amazing.

When it's time for me to upgrade, I'll give RADAR some serious thought.  I think I'll need to do some more reasearch on the matter though to find out exactly what it can and can't do vs. a DAW system.  

Anyone that can shed light on it's limitations and where it shines, the info would be appreciated.

how do you send and recieve 96khz thru adat I/O with RADAR? The adat card only shows up to 50k on the iz website Is there a double wire option?

Yes.

Is this a new ADAT/optical card or does the old one work?

[bhenderson]

The old one works.

The "old" card has three pipes in and three out. If the user upgrades to the new Adren card, how do they move a project of 24 tracls of say 96K audio over ADAT?

Thanks -

As mentioned in my response to "pipeline", the ADAT card has a dual wire option.  By definition, Dual Wire(I call it dual photon since there is actually no wires with lightpipe) means that you are sending 1/2 the tracks with twice the data.  Therefore with a 24 channel card you are sending 12 channels with 2 48kHz data steams for each channel.  So to transfer 24 tracks at 96kHz you would do 2 passes on dual photon lightpipe.

Our ADAT also has a Quad Photon mode so you can do 192kHz.  In this case you would have to do four 6 track passes.

If you're recording music with good musicians and don't need to do lots of intricate editing, RADAR might be for you. It's not trying to be a DAW, just a solid multitrack recorder. The idea is, what you can do with a 2" machine, you can do with the RADAR. Not trying to be a whole new paradigm. The session controller lets you work efficiently without a monitor, which I like.
