Description

In signal processing, sampling is the reduction of a continuous-time signal to a discrete-time signal. A common example is the conversion of a sound wave to a sequence of "samples". A sample is a value of the signal at a point in time and/or space; this definition differs from the term's usage in statistics, which refers to a set of such values.

A sampler is a subsystem or operation that extracts samples from a continuous signal. A theoretical ideal sampler produces samples equivalent to the instantaneous value of the continuous signal at the desired points.

The original signal can be reconstructed from a sequence of samples, up to the Nyquist limit, by passing the sequence of samples through a type of low-pass filter called a reconstruction filter.

How do you rate the T.C. 96K Finalizer?

Hello all,

This is my first time here and I would very much apreciate a little feed back regarding the 96K Finalizer.

Firstly, let me say I am a Composer and own my own private studio that is operated just for myself.

I have never Mastered before, however my goel is to take all the 2,4 track cassete masters, 1/4 inch and 1/2 8 track masters for Finalizing to DAT.

New 24 bit A/D vs a great old 18 bit

I'm going to be getting an A/D converter in the next week or so. I was going to get the Lucid 2496 but I found an 18-bit Mytek for less. I know the Mytek was really expensive back in the day, how would it compare to a new Lucid or Rosetta? Being 2496 compatible isn't all that important to me right now as I don't have any other gear that can handle it. Good sound is the only consideration.
