I was wondering if you could help with a question I have about audio interfaces.
I currently have an 02R mixer which is connected to my PC (running Cubase version 5.1) via a Hammerfall card using 2 sets of Adat lightpipe connectors (16 in and 16 out). I record into the computer via the 02R and also mix on the 02R via the Adat outs back in the desk.
I recently bought an iMac for video recording using Final Cut Pro. But at the same time I also bought a copy of Logic Studio and was now hoping to use the iMac for audio recording using Logic.
Obviously the iMac does not have any Adat connections – and I still want to be able to use the 02R i e record into the iMac/Logic via the 02R and then mix down the audio from the iMac/Logic into the 02R.
Is this possible? If so, what sort of interface is available that will let me record into the iMac through the 02R via Adat lightpipe and then out of the iMac back into the 02R for mixing. And are there any particular problems (eg word clock) with this sort of set up?
Great if you could help.

Hi,
I notice the Mike Piersante interview isn’t online in this issue. Is it possible to get/but a pdf of it from you. I am in the UK, so difficult to get the mag.
Cheers
