two questions regarding sound cards

covert · 10th November 2003

Question one:

Is there a card out there with an 8 or more channel TDIF interface?

Using older Mac G3

Question two:

I have been using the computer mentioned above primarily for a mixdown unit. Running peak, under sys 8.6, and using the stock AV card for IO. Levels in and out have been very strange, and I have been dealing with strange buzzes. I'm hoping the isolation transformers that I ordered will solve the buzz issue, but I'm starting to consider whether a serious sound card will do me better for levels. What would be the recommended card for two channel input?

Most of the Motu stuff has tdif, The M-audio Delta Tdif card, Sek'd makes a tdif card... there are a few out there.
Also you can buy a TDIF expansion card for most of the RME cards.

HTH,

Tascam makes one also, though I don't no about how it would compare to the others mentioned above.
