ADAT + Analog at the same time

Hi there, I'have a 002 Rack and i want to record more than 8 channels at the same time. So i want to buy a 8 channels preamp with A/D converstion and ADAT Out. But i can't find a documentation saying that i can record 8 channels in analog + 8 channels in ADAT at the same time!!! For me, reading the datasheet, it is possible but some people said no. Is someone here know if it's possible? Thx Rom

It is possible. look at your I/O setup typically inputs c1 thru c8 are setup for the ADAT ins. you can do upto 18 simutanious in by using 8 analog+8adat+ 2 spdif.

Yes, it works great. Some choices are Behringer ADA8000(cheapest?), Presonus DigiMax, D8, Firestudio(what I use), Focusrite OctoPre and M-Audio Octane. Once you attach one of these, you then need to go into Hardware setup and set Sync to Optical. The go into the I/O setup>input tab and enable the input paths. You will see a grid showing 1 thru 8 as analog inputs, 9 thru 16 as ADAT inputs and 17&18 as SPDIF inputs.

Yeah I also do 18ins all the time; I actually use the 8 ADAT channels coming thru my Mackie D8B; Only thing that sucks is the fact that I can't use the insert side of the Adat so I've been thinking about gettting an RME ADI8 or a Rosetta800...

Same here, 18 in's all the time. the 8 analogs are coming off of my console, using a Flying Cow for the spdif's and an Alesis AI3 for the adat ins. Works great.
