Thankyou for all your reply does anyone recommend a good yet basic interface that works with Mac(logic) thats not to expensive and ofcourse have s/pdif in?

Ahhh far out, I'm better off just buying another interface. Too much stuffing around. I guess I have learnt the hard way. Ahwell

Was thinking that but didn't really want to spend $250 +(AUD) for another interface. Looked at yours, it's a sweet one that I should of bought first. Ahwell. I ended buying that coaxial/optical thing cheap for $40(AUD) eBay. See how that goes, if doesn't work I'll be buying another interface. Thanx a lot for your help aswell Itappreciate a lot.

Yeah either RCA or optical, i have found this device which might be what i need but i want to make sure first before i buy.....again. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/391236-REG/Hosa_Technology_ODL_276A_ODL_276A_Data_Link.html

Thanks for the reply but the interface i have doesnt accept RCA :-( Would a convertor do the trick?

Hey guys, So for months i have been trying to record via spdif dry signal with no luck, i guess due to my lack of knowledge in the area. Cut a long story short... What im wanting to do is record a wet signal and dry signal. Now the wet signal is coming out of a miced live amp so no need to worry about that but im also wanting to record the dry signal so later on i can mess around with what tones im happy with. The problem i have is using the spdif output on the pod, i can not for the life of me find enough information on what the right cable i need for it to connect to my audio interface. The pod has like an rca output for the spdif, and the audio interface i have doesnt have that as an input. Someone on a forum suggested using an rca to a 3.5 and plug straight into my mac. Nope that didnt work, after trying to find answers i think the user 'silverhead' said in someone elses post that you need an interface. I bought an interface but still having troubles. I then bought an RCA to XLR cable, now i finally have sound but its distorted and buzzy as hell. Either im still using the wrong cable or i need a convertor or some other thing to get rid of this mess sound that its making. This is the interface i have http://apogeedigital.com/products/quartet.php#inputsoutputs Please tell me what cable i need or anything to get this thing working . Also im using garageband if that makes any difference. Doing my head in
