Is there any software for recording digitally (S/PDIF) from a DAT deck to a Live! sound card, without touching the faders? Just passing the digital information just like it is... Is there a way to do this in Cool Edit?

It's a hardware design problem. All signal must be passed through the Live!'s digital mixer.

To do bit-accurate digital transfers you'll need a different or additional card like either the Midiman PCI Dio 2448 for around $100 or the USB Roland UA-30 for around $230.

Thanks Bruce,

by the moment, I´ll keep the Live!. (...no $)
I´m not using the Live! Mixer (I don´t like it much), I use the Windows mixer and never know when is in 0db...
It´s a problem. No wanna touch the original signal...

Thanks anyway, and sorry for my english (I´m argentinian).

Teseo,

Your English is pretty darned good.

I have one of the original SB Live!s in one of my computers and it actually is a rather decent sound card. I won't use it for professional projects, but it isn't too far off the mark.
