Default Connecting AI-3...

I did a search,but no luck so here goes...I bought a used Alesis AI-3 from an individual-he didn't have a manual-and I'm on the road with no way to see one(long story)...how do I hook it up to my 001?Which port on the AI-3 to which port on my G4?Where to plug in my guitar,bass,mics,etc.?I hooked it up before I left home and was getting a popping and crackling noise-I had to leave and catch the bus,so I won't get to fool with it again till Monday-but I'm ready to write down any and all instructions by a kind soul...thanks and sorry for the dumb questions...

Coley,

you'll need 2 optcial cables,(shorter the better).
plug AI-3's adat optical out to 001 pci's optical in.
plug AI-3's adat optical in to 001 pci's optical out.

Launch Pro tools.
In Setup menu, choose Hardware Setup.
Choose optical(ADAT) as your Clock.
select ADAT as your Optical Format.
That should do it.

The poping/crackling noise could be from either a bad sync or buffer size setting. If you follow the settings above, you should be fine.
Also try increasing the buffer size.
It's also recommended that you relaunch Pro tools after changing these settings.

Cheers,

John
