Has anyone here used a 192 box as a converter without connection to a computer. Can it do this and pipe audio out the digital connectors to elsewhere?

I'm kind of a beginner to computer recording, and recently bought a Delta 1010 soundcard with 8-channel breakbox. It doesn't have preamps and the only adjustable part is a button for each channel which switches from -10db to +4db signal levels (which would you generally use for direct guitar or vocal microphone?)

Hey everyone, I've recently been listening to a lot of DJ Shadow and RJD2, and that has led me to become interested in sampled music and beatmaking. I've heard a lot of great things about Recycle (I'm using a mac), but I'm not sure if that works as a standalone beatmaker, or if it has to be used in conjunction with another piece of software.

Hello all,

I've been home recording for a few years now. My setup is simple, a bunch of decent mics and preamps into a Fireface 800 to a Mac G5 using Logic and Waveburner with the internal G5 burner to make master CDs.

I can't seem to get a straight answer to this question and to my surprise I can't find one on this forum so I will ask the question:

If I have a 16 bit stand alone CD burner,and a 24 bit stand alone CD burner,will I get better sound resalution form the 24 bit?.
My input signal would be analog.

First up,..hello folks,...And what a great find this site is :D

I'm looking to buy a stand-alone digital multi-tracker that can handle 16 simultaneous mics as I play large drum kits amd want to close-mic as much as possible.

I'm trying to decide between a PreSonus Firebox or Inspire as my interface for my fledgling DAW. One thing I can't figure out is if either could double as a standalone mic preamp that I could hook up to my Iriver IFP 895. I know there are more practical/portable preamps for this purpose, but it will be awhile before I can justify another purchase.

Hello everyone,

Sorry if this gets long winded. please bare with me.

What standalone Pre would be a step up from the Tac pre's ?

The pre's in the Tac have made me more then happy but I would like to have some other flavor of pre to choose from.

I would be using the pre mainly for vocals.
