Analog or S/PDIF ?

[maybenot]

Hey

I'm connecting a MAC and a PC to work simultaniously.

My question on this post is, for recording stuff from one to another, just I have the computers connected with analog 1/4" or via S/PDIF ?

I have a couple of soft synth that I play on my PC, and want to record them on my MAC.

Right know I have 1/4" out on PC and 1/4" In on mac. But I get a little huumm noise.

Will S/PDIF correct this ? Can I get the same phat sound with it ??

Use SPDIF whenever you can to remain in the digital domain. Yes you should eliminate the hum at the same time since it is a digital signal. Also, plug everything into the same wall plug to avoid ground loops.

I hope you are not thinking of using the PC or MAC's sound card as one of your sources. You'd be better off sending the MIDI notes to your M-Powered hardware and letting them be processed in PT-MP.
