ADK Lyve Tracker?
Ran across an interesting press release from NAB last month…
ADK Lyve Tracker Supports Yamaha Digital Consoles
New York (May 2, 2007)– ADK’s LYVE Tracker, a rack-mounted, recording solution capable of recording of up to 192 simultaneous tracks, made its NAB debut at the Yamaha Commercial Audio System; the unit is custom designed for use with Yamaha digital consoles and is based on a Nuendo 3 or Cubase 4 audio engine.
The ADK LYVE Tracker recording system uses Intel’s new Core 2 Duo and RME MADI technologies and is equipped with removable hard drive bays and a DVD-RW for backup and archiving. The unit is offered in three models with capabilities of recording 64, 128 or 192 tracks respectively.
Available with a choice of Steinberg Nuendo 3 or Cubase 4 engines, the LYVE Tracker package includes a complete plug and play, one-cable MADI connectivity package. Cubase 4 natively records in broadcast wave format and can import and export OMF 1, 2 and AIFF which are compatible with Pro Tools, AVID, RADAR, Nuendo and other DAW and computer recording programs.
Here’s the link to ADK’s configuration page for the Lyve.

Could this be Yamaha’s answer to the tight integration of the Digidesign Venue & ProTools with a virtual soundcheck? Other than this press release, I’m not finding any more information online. Is there anything different using this solution versus just using a standalone Mackie/Tascam 24 track HD recorder other than track count in one box?
Time to talk to Mr Yamaha rep!!!
UPDATE: The press release mentions simplicity of connection with MADI connectivity. This connector doesn’t appear to be compatible with PM1D systems without some kind of MADI to AES/EBU or Optical converter. Hmmm…
Introduction
My name is Tim Corder. I started this blog in February 2007 because there were so few of what I considered good church audio resources available at the time for my team. Fast forward over 5 years and I'm still at it, sharing learnings about the journey towards making audio great. I go through periods where I post a lot and other times when I don't. I'm thankful for the opportunity to share it all with you. Thanks for visiting!
