When you transfer the audio over digital cable, that is with the optical adat, a sample is a sample. So even if you don't get absolute time-code sync between your adat-machine and ardour, the clock will still be the same. So you can just transfer both tapes one at a time, then manually sync the two groups of tracks and they will stay the same till the end of the song. Unlike what you get when you digitize two analog 8-tracks one at a time without exact time-code-sync... Have fun, Arnold
