get yourself a USB-soundcard dac and just "play" the ADAT tapes out the soundcard

Just curious what modified USB sound card and software works best to play ADAT shows?

Does anyone sell the USB sound card DAC's?

Sound card, http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15746

and you will need a correction board for it ask around, I know drlava had made a run.

theres a tutorial somewhere here on the site that explains it all.

Thanks, I will give drlava a pm and see what he has.

What software program(s) runs ADAT shows on the soundcard DAC? I heard Spagetti does. Are there any better programs?

I don't suppose it is possible or feasible to convert ADAT shows to LD2000...?

Yep you can convert to LD2000 using LC-ADAT that comes with pango, you need to capture the adat tracks into an audio workstation for both means. For Pango you capture as 3 stereo wavs, for straight playback you can make a 6channel wav in audacity and play that back.

you dont need any special software, if you capture the ADAT shows and then turn it into a multi-channel FLAC file you can just play it back with any music playback software that supports multi-channel FLAC... at least thats how I do it

yes, LC-ADAT as was mentioned, but also as mentioned, you can only convert a few minutes before running out of memory for more frames... so it does not really work very effectively

One, use something like ILD SOS to resample, 44khz is very dense.

Two, having a slave card doubles the memory, just rig a DX switch between the two ILDA cards. I know its 1500# more, but it opens you up to two head shows.

Three, ask me how I've solved my 8 track tape/adat problems by the end of net week, I have a ton of show materials on tape and more coming in.

It works great, as DSLIjon suggested it to me that is what I use.

Yes, I'm very jealous

I'm guessing you meant 48K?

Also I'll update this thread as memory arrives. As to what if anything works and what doesn't so no-one else wastes money trying to find the magic stick.

not a really elegant or inexpensive solution

I also have tons of shows on ADAT, I copied all of them to an ADAT HD-24, then took the HD out and put it in an external USB enclosure... used a utility to pull the WAV files out of the projects... then cut up the 8 WAV files at each song using audacity (its free, free is the magic number)... then I used LC-ADAT to import each song one at a time... problem is a 45 min show is pretty huge, leading to long load times between songs...

again, if your just looking to playback shows you captured off of an ADAT tape a sound card is going to be 100x more convenient and simple to use than a Pangolin system... i used to capture ADAT shows with LC-ADAT, then I got a soundcard dac and havent used LC-ADAT since

not that I would trade my pangolin system for anything else, but for simple playback, it just works... plus its USB so you can use it off a laptop or netbook which is nice... and its just playing back audio so it does not require a lot of horsepower from the pc

Be sure to get installation instructions from Pangolin if you haven't already -

You may need to solder some jumpers on the QM board to support the extra memory.
(I had to on my QM2000.net when I moved from 256mb to 512mb).
