So, another dumb question from a hardheaded linux audio user (is there any other kind? ;-) I've got an RME hammerfall lite (9636/52) I've got a Yamaha AW4416 with an MY8AT module (8 channels ADAT i/o). I've got fibre cables connecting them together. The Yamaha seems happy, reporting 8 channels locked at 48kHz. What I don't have is any idea how to get anything good to happen on the linux side. I've been googling my brains out for the last two or three months, and the very best information I have been able to find anywhere is this 3 year old thread: http://www.music.columbia.edu/pipermail/linux-audio-dev/2003-March/003328.html Which in turn recommands alsa-lib/doc/asoundrc.txt which, looking at that, doesn't really help much at all, I'm afraid, you pretty much have to know how it works already in order to make head or tail of it. Is there any better information out there? I just want to be able to transfer tracks from the PC to the AW4416, and back, preferably as many as 8 at a time, or as few as 1 at a time, but, judging from my googling, it seems next to nobody is doing anything like this. I would estimate less than ten people on the entire planet (and that is my inflated guess) have an RME hammerfall AND are using the ADAT interfaces. Is that about right? Am I that far out in the weeds? I would really like to get this working... otherwise, I've just blown $700 (RME + yamaha ADAT interface + cables) for nothing , and I'm back to burning CDs to transfer tracks between AW and PC. Any hints appreciated... thanks. -- steve __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
