A quick question,
As an example: Could i connect a Behringer ADA8000 via ADAT to my Profire 2626 (running pro-tools m-powered) and have all 16 line/xlr outs going into an analogue board? Or do both pieces have to be pro-tools compatible? Are there any other connectivity problems i should be aware of?
Thanks,
John.

Re: ADAT/Pro-Tools question....
yes you can do what you asked about.... the pro-tools requirement ends at the main interface.,.. any optically connected equipment then only has to meet the ADAT protocol spec to be compatible...
there probably are a load of other things you should be aware of... but without knowing what you're NOT aware of... i could be here all night typing, and not actually be much more use than the straight answer i've already given.

Re: ADAT/Pro-Tools question....
Thanks for the reply Max.
What i'm considering doing is this; I have the Profire, i have Pro-Tools m-powered, i have been offered an analogue desk (24 channel soundtracs MRX) very cheap, i just want to figure out the pitfalls of connecting 16+ channels into the desk from pro-tools for either band recordings or mixing.
It's more or less to get used to routing things on a desk again, getting re-acquainted with physical mixing, etc. (I'm well out of practice!)
Any pointers that i should look out for or general advice would be a great help!

Be aware that you're limited to 18 I/O when using the Profire with PT M-Powered.

Re: ADAT/Pro-Tools question....
I would be linking another device to the 2626 via ADAT to give me the extra I/O.

Re: ADAT/Pro-Tools question....
I suspect that 18 I/O maximum is a software limitation imposed by Digidesign irrespective of the physical inputs.

Re: ADAT/Pro-Tools question....
I think it's 32 simultaneous audio tracks.
But i'm going to check in case....
EDIT: Sorry, i'm an idiot. It is a maximum of 18 I/O. Still, that's all i'm looking for at the moment.
