TimOr why I haven't practiced sax in longer than I'd like. The ADAT extenders came in and opted to give them ago. They take optical ADAT and convert that over to a copper signal sent through CAT5e cabling (commonly used for Ethernet, e.g. normal network cables). This let me run a single cable from up home office studio down to the piano room where I setup my Saffire Pro 40 on the other end (after pre-configuring it on my PC).
I then setup remote desktop to control Ableton from my laptop next to my piano. Connected my mic, plugged my headphones in, routed some signals around in RME TotalMix and BAM, ready to rock!
It worked phenomenally well. This allowed me to record a few short piano parts for one of the songs we're working on (which, notably, also has sax in it), currently called Downside Up.
More to come but I was pretty giddy this solution worked so well I thought I'd share a quick update there.
