I've got an E-MU 0404 card installed in a PC and want to record audio
from the optical S/PDIF input to a file on disc.

I have the PatchMix DSP software running and can see the DAT source
moving the meters on the desk and can listen to the mixing desk via the
0404 card's analogue outputs. All this seems to work OK.

Can anyone advise how I record the desk output to a file on the
harddrive? I've looked at the various sample/LE software supplied with
the card but can't see a way of doing this.

Is there a way of recording the optical S/PDIF inputs of the 0404 card
direct to disc, with no processing at all?

I'm new to PC based recording so may well be missing the bleedin'
obvious.

The S/PDIF input looks to the computer like a different audio device
from the analog inputs. You need to tell your recording program to use
that device. Look for a "Settings" or "Preference" selection on a menu
or tab and find E-Mu S/PDIF as the source.

Mike, thanks for the quick reply.

I've tried Audacity, which just has an option to select "E-DSP WAVE
(ECCO)" then, sub option of mono, stereo and ch 3 to 16 and also
"Wavelab Lite" which also has the option "E-DSP WAVE (ECCO)" and sub
options of buffers 3 to 16. I can't see anything that refers to E-Mu or
SPDIF as sources.
