maybe it's a remedial question, but why aren't there 32 bit and above PCM converters, why does it just jump from 24 to delta sigma

I am going to be getting a Pro Tools set up in the near future and am wondering if I should take advice from a friend and get a mac to go with it. He is pretty adamant that macs are way better than pc's for Pro Tools, and multimedia apps in general.

Hi folks,

i am new to this forum and to the world of preamps.

I recently bought a Shure KSM44SL mic, and now looking for good single preamp to use with it to record every, vocals, bass, guitars, percussion
i'll be going into into the DAW via a Focusrite saffire.
I do a lot of african music(very acoustic folk) and hip hop

I've got this on the list,

I was just looking at picking up some new 1/4" cables to connect stuff in my home studio. Basically, need them to connect preamps to compressors, compressors to the soundcard inputs, nothing fancy. Probably looking at buying about 10 or so for now, probably about 3' to 6' in length. My question is this...

Hi guys !

I'm new here...but I hope you guys can help me answer some questions.

I've been in and out of the computer recording world for 8 years now, and I have no problems with my desktop systems, since I build them myself.

Now I have to build a mobile DAW for my church...and I'm sort of lost because I don't know anything about laptops.

Howdy, I have an MX9000 thats a year old and running great. No complaints, produced some good quality stuff so far.

I have an M-Audio 1010lt for my interface and I need something bigger. Maybe 14x14 or so, I just need more inputs.

Recommendations when it comes to a new soundcard?

ok heres what Im thinking about.. First I"ll tell you what I have..

Mackie 1642 VLZ Pro
PreSonus Firestation 8in/8out
Nuendo3.0
Yamaha SPX90
Roland SRV-3030
Focusrite Platinum Penta Stereo Comp.

Hi,
I was considering upgrading my Mix4 TDM,G4 800 and ADAT bridges to a system containing PT HD2 Accel, Mac Pro 2.66 and an 192 I/O DIgital (I use digital boards).

I'm looking into getting a line mixer that I can rack mount below my workstation desk. I will only be used as a monitor mixer and an input signal router into two ART Pro Channels into a MOTU 828mkII. The mixing is all done internally with CueMix console and the MOTU's inputs acting as an aux patchbay so mic preamps and EQs are not an issue.

Situation: 4 guys talking around a table with a small mono tape casette recorder on the table using the built in mic. This is a teacher-student conference.

Results: Two guys come out with adequate volume, two don't.

Goal: Get all four people recorded with adequate volume.
