Does anyone know how to digitally transfer our older DA-88 sessions into protools (Mix Plus)? I have several DA-88, one with the sync card. We use two 888/24s. We also have a Digital Timepiece, and a 2408 lying around, if that's useful.
Thanks

You need something that will x-fer TDIF to AES...or, since you already have one, you can use your 2408. Just run the stuff in through it (use your MOTU software if you want), and then you can import those raw tracks into your Pro Tools software.

Syncing could be a bit tricky, but depending upon the material may not be an issue (you can line it up manually in Pro Tools later). If it is you can go deeper with the SY88 and DTP to make it all sample accurate - I forgot those steps years ago though.
