I'm kind of curious... how are you actually connecting an ADAT lightpipe out to an Apple computer? I've not known any Apple computers to actually have lightpipe inputs.
You may be connecting to what is a stereo digital input that has a similar connector, or are you converting to Firewire or USB? However, I generally avoided ADATs when they were popular, so take that with a grain of salt. You might try going to http://kineme.net , then downloading and installing the "AudioTools" plugin. That has a patch that will also show all connected devices, and another patch that will output all channel data, and show you if you're actually getting 8 channels in or not. Again, as far as I know, there should be a firewire or usb device that accepts lightpipe somewhere in the mix here. -George Toledo On Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 12:59 AM, Christopher Wright < [email protected]> wrote: > I am trying to use the optical digital audio input as audio input into > Quartz composer.
