On Creamware cards (like RME) you’ll get 2 x ADAT SMUX capable ports (in and out) in addition RCA analog, XLR balanced and a SPDIF port. A good “solution” here is to possibly use something like a couple of Focusrite Saffire 26 i/o (I don’t know too much about XITE at this stage). You can of course use 3x creamware cards for a total of 6 in and 6 out allowing 48 individual in’s and out’s @ 44/48Khz.
Are you then tracking to Cubase? Or is the S/C system a complete DAW in it self?
S|C is the environment, Cubase is the tape machine/sequencer.
And using some sort of Software mixer within the S/C system?
For myself, Cubase volumes are set to zero on mix (I have not recorded as yet) as are volumes in the Sonic Core environment however, one option is to mix in Scope using a software controller.
Is routing from Cubase via an internal “patchbay”?
Only standard VST Outputs are used (some old school Creamware users persist with some kind of DirecX setup, i.e. Wavelab).
Last time (long ago, but post creamware) I visited their web site, I didn’t get much info out of it. Do you have any links?
GaryB in the Planet Z forums is always willing to help.
