Hi All;

I would like to use the SPDIF input on my 1010 as an extra recording
channel. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive interface so I can
convert a 1/4" pre-fader out to this SPDIF?

Or - Am I wasting my time (aka - should I get another USB 2 channel
recording interface)?

Thanks;
Steve

A Flying Cow would do the job nicely. If you need the channel, its not a
waste of time. If you only need input or only output, a Flying Calf would be
cheaper. You could also mix & match Flying Calfs for input and output at
different bitrates if it is not important that both are 24bit, to save some
money.

Remember to sync to the sp-dif input then! Surely there is a reason,
but I wonder why the questionee has not considered an extra delta-card
....
