But all the rules changed on January 18th 1991, with the debut of the Alesis ADAT modular digital multitrack recorder. With the availability of a low-cost, high performance, expandable digital recording format, sales of analog 8- and 16-track reel-to-reel decks plunged to a virtual standstill. And once the first ADAT recorders started rolling off the production line, everyday musicians suddenly found themselves on equal footing with high-end studios, in terms of access to high performance digital recording gear, with better-than-CD quality at prices just about any band or musician could afford.
This book tells the story of that revolution, with in-depth interviews with the insiders that made ADAT into reality. The book also takes the reader much further, with unbiased evaluations of the six recorders from Alesis (ADAT, XT, TX20, LX20, M20 and ADAT-PCR) as well as the five ADAT recording systems from other manufacturers (Fostex RD-8 and CX-8, Panasonic MDA-1 and Studer's V-Eight and V-Twenty) and looks at accessories from both Alesis and third-party suppliers.
The book also contains extensive sections on maintenance and troubleshooting, a chapter devoted to hidden functions that aren't mentioned in the user manuals and details on interfacing, with instructions for making your own cables and snakes. With plenty of tips and tricks and instructions on advanced techniques, this book is written for users who want to get the most out of their ADAT recorders. |
