Cool.. Yeah that should work... The cable I got at the weekend is a standard optical cable but it has a jack adapter on it...
So yeah.. You could either use an adaptor on your optical cable or just use a normal analogue cable.. Should both work.. (In theory!!) Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Norman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 May 2002 17:38 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: Transfers Hi Yes, its an optical socket, but it doubles up as a analogue mini jack too for normal recording - is this not going to work with SPDIF?

This is pretty much the problem I had last weekend (except the other way around).. I'd get on the case and sort out an adaptor.. Are you sure that your mini disc's connection is a standard audio jack? I thought they were usually optical jacks? (i.e.. A headphone jack type socket that is actually optical).. I'm sure you'll get it sorted though... ;) Nick -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Norman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 May 2002 17:30 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: Transfers Hi The annoying thing is that i can see the levels going up and down in the software mixer but theres no signal from the digital outputs (no red light coming out of the optical or registered by the recorder). I haven't actually tried an SPDIF cable yet, but I didn't want to waste money on one given that nothing comes out of the optical out yet...thats why i was wondering if you could use a normal RCA cable...but then i need a frickin adaptor to fit a minijack for my MD - its all a big pain in the butt for not much gain given that the analogue stuff works fine ;-) Laters Dan -----Original Message----- From: Nick Lankester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 May 2002 17:16 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: Transfers Weird! I've never used that card but if it has a software mixer, does the signal show on there? Maybe there's a switch or setting on the soundcard's software somewhere which switches betweent the analogue and digital outs? Does it say anything in the soundcard manual about all that stuff? Nick -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Norman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 May 2002 17:18 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: Transfers Hi Soundforge v5, Cool Edit Pro, Emagic Logic Audio Guillemot ISIS Logic Pro full duplex soundcard with breakout box (4in / 8 out plus digi in/out on optical and SPDIF) I have checked all the settings and the audio in all programs is set to output on outputs 1/2 and SPDIF/optical simultaneously. It links them together as one option or alternatively you can output to just analogue outputs 3/4 - so not sure... Cheers Dan -----Original Message----- From: Nick Lankester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 May 2002 17:05 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: Transfers Dunno what card you're using, but to state the obvious! You have to make sure you assign the software's output to be the digital out... What software and card are you using? -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Norman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 May 2002 17:07 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: Transfers Thats what i suspected... Its annoying cos i cannot get my soundcard to output to optical or SPDIF - cannot work out why, so despite having digital - i have to use the analogue ins/outs... damn Ta Dan -----Original Message----- From: Nick Lankester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 May 2002 16:57 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: Transfers It's the conversion from analogue to digital and vice versa that degrades the quality (which is why top notch A/D converters are so desirable/expensive).. So yeah, basically, you want to avoid doing it.. .. . Nick -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Norman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 May 2002 16:59 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Transfers Hi, Is there much degradation of sound if say, you record the same track in and out of the soundcard analogue in/outs a number of times to DAT or MD going back and forth. Can you do it over and over again without it sounding sh*t after a couple of times? It could be one of those things where you don't really notice until you might put it on a 12'' and then it sounds all wrong.. Its obvious that cassette tapes degrade when they are recorded back and forth, but what about MD or DAT if recording using analogue connections???
