The ADAT Solution for Audio Editing with Personal Computers
The Alesis ADAT/Edit? package contains everything you need to form a powerful digital audio link between any model of ADAT Digital Multitrack Recorder and PCI-compatible Power Macintosh? or Windows? computers. Using the enclosed ADAT/PCR? card and the included ADAT/Connect? and ADAT/Edit? software, you can send audio at up to 24-bit resolution into your computer, graphically edit your tracks and send them back to ADAT for mixdown, archiving and transfer with sample-accurate precision. You can also use your favorite WAV or ASIO compatible recording and editing software with the ADAT/PCR card. With ADAT/Edit, you get the best of both linear and nonlinear recording technologies, all at a breakthrough price.
Sample-Accurate Transfer with ADAT/CONNECT
Using Alesis' ADAT/Connect software, transferring audio tracks between your ADAT and your computer is easy. After installing and connecting the ADAT/PCR card, just select the tracks you want to import into your computer, designate the Start and End points, and hit the Transfer button. You can even name each track for easy on-screen reference. Since ADAT/Connect works in tandem with the ADAT Sync interface, your ADATs will automatically locate to the start point and play back the audio tracks you've selected. Plus, your tracks will be transferred with single sample accuracy, ensuring the most precise synchronization is maintained between the recorder and the computer.
Nonlinear Editing with ADAT/Edit
Co-developed by Alesis and Emagic?, one of the leading designers of software-based audio tools, the ADAT/Editsoftware allows you to perform intricate cut-copy-paste editing of your music tracks. Plus, ADAT/Edit provides powerful digital signal processing that's built into the software interface, so adding reverb, delay and EQ to your tracks or using advanced tools like time compression, pitch correction and dynamics processing can be easily accomplished within your computer. You can also combine the ADAT/Edit system with the new AI-3? analog-optical interface for an exceptional standalone editing workstation.
Easy to Install, Setup and Use
ADAT/Edit makes it simple to get digital audio into and out of your computer. Just insert the ADAT/PCR card into an available PCI slot and connect the included optical and sync cables to your ADAT. The included drivers will automatically recognize the card, while the ADAT/Connect software will identify any ADATs that are connected in a system. As the only ADAT-compatible interface card made by the creators of ADAT, the ADAT/PCR is designed for the smoothest interaction between ADATs and hard disk recording systems. The ADAT/PCR card and included software supports any model of ADAT from the original ADAT classic and ADAT-XT to the newest generation of ADAT Type II machines like the LX20, XT20 and M20.
Audio Transfer and Transport Control with ADAT Optical and ADAT Sync Interfaces
While other PCI cards can get audio into and out of your computer with the ADAT Optical interface, the ADAT/PCR card also syncs your computer to ADATs via the ADAT Synchronization interface. The combination of these two powerful protocols allows for the ultimate in seamless interaction between your ADAT and computer recording platforms. Hit "Play" with your onscreen transport controls, and any ADATs hooked up to the system will begin playing. With ADAT/Edit and the ADAT/PCR card, your entire recording setup can function as an incredibly powerful integrated system.
