I tried an aggregate setting for input of both mackie and 11 rack. Pro Tools didn't like that. I am out of ideas.

I suppose that I can change my input device to the 11 rack when doing guit tracks. Seems like there should be a way without doing this... Kind of wish that 11 rack would just show up as plugin.

If anyone knows a way around this, it would be greatly appreciated as I am stuck!
Looks like Mackie made the limiting choice of only offering ADAT/SMUX with no way to set the TOSLINK ports to S/PDIF. Having S/PDIF would have let you use a simple optical to coaxial converter. For the cost/hassle of trying to do S/PDIF or AES/EBU to ADAT/SMUX you might as well look at buying a different interface. So just hook up using analog IO.
