Digtal I/O on a soundcard, what's the big deal. If you have a CD-R can't you use that as a DAT and play on to and record from that digitally?

No. You can't do that becase a CD-R cannot record fast enough. And anyway, you would probably be sending analog. Digital i/o on a card allows you to avoid converting your material to analog.

Not fast enough? Newer CD-Rs records at 4x, which surely is faster than DAT+ you are surely sending nothing but digital data. The only drawback is that with a DAT, you just hit record, and it records whatever you got playing, with CD-R, you'll have to make playlists and such shit... I'm talking about CD-Rs that are made for use with computers now, not audio-only CD-Rs.

mr pryority...
digital i/o on a soundcard is only for audio, although you probably know that!!
For any pro applications, or anyone who doesn't want to muck up their sound via further conversion digital i/o is the only way to get your DAT master from DAT into a computer. The digital i/o talked about is usually s/pdif. Other digital i/o include tascams TOSlink, AESABU and ADAT light pipe. There are also others.
hope that helps..
cheers

I read in a Creativ Labz document that "the undocumented JP6 on the AWE series as a digital i/o". Is this horseshit or not? Does anyone know? This is NOT a gold here.

And - how would you pipe dis digital io into a CDR if you could? Would an alternative be to render it to WAV and then write de CDR somehow? If so how?

this jumper is available on some AWE 32 cards
but it's an output only and i recall that it is only the
synth that is echoed on this line. No wave or wg.
This makes the AWE 32 a wanted item for me. For a few bucks i can buy 16 MB memory sample ram for soundfonts and output this digitally into my EWS. (i hope)
Especially since the EWS has not finished it's sampler yet.
