I have the roland VS-840GX (digital 8-track) and am thinking of invisting in a computer dedicated solely to audio. Since the roland has digital out's for Coaxial (S/P DIF and EIAJ CP-1201) and Optical, would it be possible to record on the roland, then send to the computer without having to convert (A/D D/A) twice? Which way would be best?

Is it software or hardware? I am completely lost on this one. Thanks!

I think I finally found a site that I can relate to. It looks like a lot more experince here then the site gives itself credit for, so I hope my question is not too basic.

I know it's usually true that you get what you pay for in electronics, but this one has me wondering... is it any good?

Howdy

A new day, new moderators and a new topic for the Mac forum.

So, what do y'all use your Mac for? Are you tracking? Composing? Mixing? Re-mixing? Double secret re-mixing? Mastering? Video Post?

I am awaiting the arrival of a new puter (WinXP/p4/2.4GZ/512mem/120gb HD) for the continued purposes of directing sequenced compositions from my Kurzweil workstation direct into soundcard. Then I will add vocals thru Joemeek and his friend "Marshall" MXL67. :) I have been using Cakewalk Pro8 and Cool Edit Pro 1.0 on my P2/333mz. Updating is probably needed here with the new system.

Do you really need one or could you go on without it? I have the aardvark Q10 soundcard and am using Sonar 2.1 xl and I was hearing about these Control Surfaces...what does these things do except let you control some of the software?

For those tech geek guitar players.

I would like to know if there is a lot of quality difference between 48 and 96 hz and between 96 and 192 hz. Somebody help me!
