Digital Audio Workstation Setup

Connecting the Digital 8•Bus to a Digital Audio

Workstation (Digital Performer, Studio Vision Pro,

Cakewalk Pro, etc.) shares considerations with the

ADAT and TASCAM hookups. Word clock synchro-

nization must be addressed; the master and slaves

must be established; the clock rate must be consis-

tent throughout; and the audio path into the

console must be intelligently configured.

Note: A Pro Tools system works best when referenced

to Superclock sync source, or when connected to a

PDI•8 card through AES/EBU with SRC engaged.

Let’s consider a common computer-based

setup utilizing:

• A combination digital audio/MIDI software

package

• A MIDI interface

• A digital audio interface with lightpipe audio

connections

Cabling and Hookup

1. Connect the Digital 8•Bus lightpipe output, from

the DIO•8 or OPT•8 card, to the digital audio

interface lightpipe input. Likewise, connect the

lightpipe output from the digital audio interface

to the D8Bs lightpipe input.

2. Connect the digital audio interface to the

computer per the manufacturer’s specifications.

Settings

D8B

1. Open the Setup window.

2. Click “Digital I/O” to open the Digital I/O

dialog box.

3. Click each Tape Input and Output box and select

the appropriate setting for each card installed.

4. Set the Digital 8•Bus “Samplerate” to match the

computer’s sample rate (typically 48kHz or

44.1kHz). Selecting “Internal” in the Apogee

Clock pull-down establishes the D8B as the

master. Everything else in the digital chain must

be capable of slaving to the Digital 8•Bus.

DAW

1. Set the digital audio interface to follow ADAT

optical at the interface input (from the D8B

lightpipe output).

2. Connect the DAWs MIDI/digital audio interface

to the Digital 8•Bus inputs and outputs.

Note: Be sure to turn on the D8B before any of the

other digital components. In addition, if your setup uses

TDIF connections, refer to the previous setup scenario

for TASCAM-specific settings.
