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.

96k Pro Tools

OK, the word on the street is that the new 96k Pro Tools with new hardware and improved audio quality throughout the architecture and mix buses will be announced shortly...maybe February 2002. Or maybe I've been in the studio too much and haven't heard the latest.

So, studio owners and engineers, who is interested in this?

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.
