Yup... there's one firewire connection to the computer. The deck itself [does lots of far-out stuff]. Each input and output channel is discretely available to/from the computer over the firewire (so that's something like 4 dozen channels in all).
As far as Doggiebox is concerned, the missing link right now of course is that you can only have a stereo output. But in concert with the configurable folddown/export groupings coming in the future will also be assignable outputs, so that it will be possible to play back a piece over e.g. 8 output channels at once.
Very cool. I can see that would certainly be handy. My first recording experiences quite some years ago now were on 24 track ADAT, and first being baffled that the drums needed at least 8 mics, and later was impressed by how much flex that gave the mixing process.

And it _is_! ;) Over 650 quid on this side of the pond :) Does anyone know anything cheaper and dumber (like, just lets you split multiple audio channels via Firewire or USB into audio, and nothing more? :) I've got plenty of mixing power on my VS-1680, though little output power from my PowerBook (which only does Firewire through a PC card, but if I save up to get my wife one of those new iBooks .... :) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson mailto:cea@carlaz.com http://www.carlaz.com/
