Hi Jim,
I recorded all the DATS. 48K 16BIT in MS.
For future ref. if I am using SPDif, would I set the new pathway to 3 & 4? (silly question?) You mentioned further down about my inputs being 3 & 4 (I guess that's what you meant) In the MBOX logo above of setting I found that if I click (using ctrl) here I get the option of analogue or digital. This is the way I sorted the I/O. In future I shall make a Digital I/O to CH 3 & 4.
Thanks very much for your help!
Lee

This shouldn't be too hard in PTLE. 1st thing to check is that the session you create matches the sample rate of the DAT you're capturing. If you have multiple recordings at different sample rates on the DAT then you'll need a seperate session for each different rate.
Next, go into your IO set-up page and check the ins and outs. From memory, you should have 4 of each, 2 analogue and 2 digital. If these aren't there then you'll need to create new pathways and assign them to the digital ins and outs. Then go to your Hardware set-up and select SPDif as your clock source.
It should then be a simple matter of creating a couple of mono tracks (or one stereo), selecting the digital connections as your inputs (generally these will be Inputs 3 & 4).
Don't forget to switch back to internal clocking once the process is done.
I may be overegging the pudding, but whenever I do a digital transfer I connect the ins and outs of both devices to create a closed loop (ie DAT out to M-Box in, M-Box out to DAT in). You'll also want to use 75 ohm cable to reduce the chance of digital clicks (the ones that come with Digi gear are fine).
