gain of external AD?

Hi,

I was thinking of buying a TC triple C stereo compressor to use as a...well... compressor, but also 'by passed'as an external AD converter feeding my Emagic Audio8 card. The TC can be put to dithering when recording which is fine because the AW8's digi-in is 16 bits only. Would I gain better recording this way or would it be marginal only?
Thanks guys!

ram (2 sticks or one)

I'm Building a DAW and I'm planning to get 512MB either Corsair or Kingston DDR400 3200. Both of the models i'v had a look at have a CAS of 2.5.
One person has told me that it is better to get 2 sticks of 256 because data can be sent to two sticks quicker than one. I've also herd that it is better to go with one stick of 512MB ram.
What is the right answer?

Question about search engine?

Hi!

I'm brand new here. The last thing I want to do is annoy everyone with questions that have been answered dozens of times. So I was glad to see the search function.

Except I'm not sure how to do a general search through all the different categories? Is this possible, or do I have to search through all twenty sub-forums (or however many there are) one at a time?

Any advice or warnings you can offer would be grrrreat!
