Hello guys, I would appreciate any input you have on this.

I don't have the recorder yet, just to make clear.

I will use it with an analog console, (I am clear on how that part is done) but I want digital data to go in and out of a computer to be used with any audio processing softwate.

Here's an example that shows what I mean: Getting the guitar channel dry from the console, into the HD24, into the computer, running it though some software and returning it to the console to be monitored real time but with the added effects.

It can be done right? I suspect that I must use the "ADAT optical" ins and outs, right?

What hardware should I need for the computer?

I just want to add effects, I don't want to mix using the computer, I just want to use the software as signal a processor. - The thing is, I want to be able to do it in real time. Running the dry signal through the computer and then playing it back afterwards is not exactly what I want.

Sorry if I sound as a total noobie. I am... Please correct me if I seem to have the wrong picture.

Thanks a lot
