Default Re: Interface for Big Band

I would go with the ADA 8000. I picked mine up on craigslist for $125 earlier this year. I think new ones are $250 or so. It has sample rates of 44.1k and 48k, which should be fine for what your are doing. The converters on it are comparable in quality to the Digi002. You will have to read up in your pro tools manual on how to set the 002 to master and the ADA8000 will act as slave. (can be done the other way around, but I don't see any advantage to that). You can buy the lightpipe cables online at a good price, or you can pay up at a retail store. Keep them as short as possible. I wouldn't suggest buying "high quality" lightpipes, particularly if you are taking the rig out of the studio. Just don't kink them, step on them, etc.
