what can i use S/PDIF for

[NIGHT'SCHILD]

For me Spdif is useful simply because it carries a stereo signal, it means one less pair of analog inputs I have to use on my digi002, and it keeps my signal digital which I feel sounds way better than doing the Analog to digital to analog back to digital conversion.

Hi

You may want to consider using the S/PDIF for external effects unit.

Have fun.

i use spidf to get two more channels into a 001 at a radio station where i work. i run the signal through the DAT machine that rarely gets used otherwise.

Spdif can also be used to get digital clock to a device that has no word clock i/o. Like a Digi001.

I'm using s/pdif out from a Mini-Me into an 002 Rack. This provides two more mic inputs and better converters on those tracks.
