thanks for raising awareness on this issue,
to be honest I never thought of that up until now.

I think the most elegant way to deal with this would be to use a plugin that can provide a negative timing offset on the ADAT input tracks, like Precision Time Align from Eventide for example.

It would be of course much better if ProTools allowed you to enter a user offset for recorded tracks on ADAT inputs - although I image that would get really messy with things like Destructive / Punch record.

And to the previous poster: YES, PLEASE AVID add sample based I/O offsets and PLEASE rework and update the I/O Plugin while you are at it - it could really use a visual indication for clip overs and input/output levels.
