I need eight more IOs for my PT HD rig. I currently have a Digidesign 192 that is connected to a Dangerous 2-Bus summing mixer. The summing mixer has eight additional inputs that I would like to utilize. I'm wandering if I should go for another 192, or go with Apogee, or Lynx Aurora. The top of my budget is around $3300.

Hello All,

I am looking to purchase a good converter. I like the Prismsound converters. However, they are double or more than the Apogee Rosetta 800 or the Lynx converters. I have been told the Rosetta is lots better than the Ensemble. I am not concerned with pre's. I am running a liquid channel for the pre's.

Hey Fellow Audio Geeks!

Thought some of you may be interested in the comparison of Apogees' new Ensemble to the Rosetta.

I A/B's the two with the same track using Digital Performer sending the two tracks one to the Ensemble and one to the Rosetta. I used Mutt Langs' mix of his wife's song 'She's Not Just a Pretty Face'.

Im using up to 4 VS880s when mastering.When everything is said and done, ie; comp/limit/process/eq and so on,Im outputting from the 880s as an analog signal to line in mixer,out as analog to CD burner----okay,,,,heres my question.

Here are two clips from two mid-level converters. Both have received good reviews and praises from their users. I can hardly hear a difference between the two samples so I would like someone with good ears and monitors to tell me if there is a difference between the two, if so, what is the difference.

Hi all!

I'm sorta a noobie to digital recording, and I need some advice on some new equipment. I'm going to expand my analog studio to digital. Now I'm wondering what I need to look for when purchasing some sort of soundcard. I'd like to use Pro Tools (does it matter if it's LE or M-powered?), but I have Logic Pro for now.

Hey guys,

Im trying to figure out where to toss some money into. I did a preamp shoot out with some different preamps.. some more expensive.. some crap. And found subtle differences depending on what the source was. Would buying nicer preamps (nicer then a digi002 stock) help more as to everything i record pretty pretty much running through them?

I'm on my continual journey to get the best home recording environment (I can afford) and was talking with another friend (session percussionist) about gear.

The subject of quality mic preamp's came up (which I understand for the most part) but then along with it he said that a good sound was dependent on A/D Converters (Analog to Digital).

Dear friends
I have made some experiences with converters. Can a file recorded in 24/48 sounds equal or even better after conversion to 16/44.1 ? How the converter works? beyond dithering process exist others? I have one Hedd by Crane.

Hi
I believe my weak links in the chain are my monitors and my converters.
my chain of equipment is as follows:

TLM 103 Neumann cardiod mike, SE Electronics Z3300a omni/cardiod/figure of 8; RODE NT2.

Great River ME1NV preamp

Alesis speakers (the weak link!)
