Although I'm not sure if it's s/pdif or toslink, but the digital out on DVD players handles surround up to 7.1 I think. S/pdif can also be transfered via light pipe, for example the G5's and Mac Pro's have a digital in and out on the back. I believe that only transfers two channels of audio. Then, Tascam also has or had their own digital connection called T/DIF which handles up to 8 channels of audio. You guys were correct in saying that there are a pant load of formats. The Digi LE interfaces(001, 002, 003) can handle up to 18 channels of input and output with the 8 analog, 8 ADAT, and 2 S/PDIF. I've done it before with a 001 and it worked fine. It just depends on how fast your computer is. One last thing, someone told me they were able to connect AES to S/PDIF with a XLR to RCA cable running a very short distance. I personally have never tried it. I hope I didn't ramble too much. Keep up the good work guys. -Jesse Hey Ryan,

Jon asked me to drop the overall compression for his clips. I am outputting the file right now. It will be available for download in about 20 minutes. Thank you for listening. We appreciate the kind words. - Ryan It is a dense mix, but I did squeeze it a little hard on mastering. Jon asked me to drop the overall compression for his clips.

I found the mix a little bit dense, not sure if it was affected by the overall post-processing of the podcast. For example, I couldn't notice the synth. However, I got the idea. Sometimes we think there are shortcuts or rules, the only one that I think works is that "if it sounds good, that's the way to go". Greetings from México.
