No most digital I/O is 2 channel (in S/Pdif or AES/EBU format) What are the technical requirements of an appropriate card? There are a lot of multi-track soundprograms out there, I assume that every program that can handle multipe tracks is able to handle the input, right? Should do, the audio program should see 4 pairs of 2 Channel inputs/ outputs. (Just like having 4 seperate 2 channel audio cards.)

Re: MD: dig. soundcard, again (OT!)
Hi Knez: You need an audio interface to input your information/audio into the computer, as you pointed out. I have personal experience in using Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) products and I highly recommend them, even though they are not the only ones by any means. They are an audio/music company here in Massachussetts, USA. http://www.motu.com/ When you visit their website, under 'Audio Hardware' in the Products page, you'll find a table with an overview of their interfaces and their capabilities. There might be more than one interface that meets your needs, so you will most likely have to decide on the additional features that might be handy, or that will allow you to grow your studio. In terms of an audio application that can handle the audio coming in, it is more tricky. Your audio program has to 'see' your audio card through the use of drivers, so in other words, no, not all audio programs will 'see' every audio card. Your audio program company can tell you what cards are supported for their software. You don't mention what audio program you have, if any, though. The MOTU interfaces include an audio program called Audio Desk, which is the audio portion of their flagship sequencer Digital Performer (audio + MIDI). You can edit your audio with the basic Audio Desk software. Hope this helps, Eduardo H.

MD: dig. soundcard, again (OT!)
Hi all, I just followed the dig. soundcard treads in the past and saw that there are some very experts here on the list. Maybe you can help me with this off-topic question: I have an Roland VSR-880 which is an 8 track harddisk recoding device. It has an S/PDIF optical output and also a digital chinch output (would prefer to use the optical). Now I want to connect the Roland to my computer and upload the 8-track recordings to manipulate it on the PC (use Win98 and WinNT 4.0).
