More important: front end(A/D) or back end (D/A)?

anonymous 27 April 2005

Wanted 2 knno from others about which end is more improtant 2 have(if u have 2 have just the 1)?

We are a hip hop production team/company. We make beats using mostly samples and keyboard. So we dont do any live recording. No special outboard gear(yet). We track using our beat machines(MPC/Triton) patched directly 2 our Digi 002. Thats it.

We do have a Benchmark DAC-1, just want 2 kno which end is more important 2 hear whats goin on... before and after goin in to our computer.

And do u think we need 2 have an A/D converter?

In your case DAC. It's more important to hear what's going on in the mix so you can make informed mixing decisions (panning, volume, eq).

The DAC is likely better for your working style. A2D has always

The DAC is likely better for your working style. A2D has always been a more critcle function and in most devices is lower quality than the D2A section.

If you get to recording vocals you gonna want the AD- until then you'd be ok with the DA- Of course you could sent the korg in via spdif if you had a AD and that might give you a bit better resolution that patching it in analog-
