You can if you go out of the Mytek (or whatever's) analog outs
to tape or another digital machine's analog in's... if that 2nd
machine is clocked to the Mytek (or whatever's) clock, then it
could preceiveably result in a higher-quality 2-track file.

Oh, I'm not running down the RME stuff... I LOVE my Multifaces
(Multifascia?). Are there better convertors? Apparently...
though I don't know if a Mytek or Benchmark are among those.

To improve upon a convertor that may have a more jittery clock?
I guess if he's going out of an RME's analog outs to 2-track
tape, and he's hearing a difference with the Mytek's output,
then that difference would be translated to tape.
>Clock jitter? You said yourself jitter

What I said was that you can get jitter upon recording... that
jitter you're stuck with - you can't get rid of it; and then you
can also get additional jitter at playback.... if you're finding
that using a different clock or set of convertors on playback
improves things - that could be the reason it's doing so...
you're eliminating or lessening the amount of playback jitter.

I have no idea - frankly I'm surprised that someone's finding a
better convertor set than RME stuff at any price point south of
the super-ultra top-end gear. I'm just giving Dimi the benefit
of the doubt for the sake of the current discussion.

The idea isn't that it's an "effect" that can be enhanced with
cascading several of a given convertors, the idea is that it's
(again, theoretically, assuming there IS an improvement that's
being heard) kind of a sonic Windex that can remove grime in the
form of artifacts created by jitter... using Windex (the non-
sonic kind LOL) can only get a glass so clean, right? I mean if
there's something embedded in the glass, Windex can't get that
out, so if there's record-end jitter embedded in the source, you
can't remove it, but playback-end jitter can be minimized or
possibly even eliminated.

Nope, you can only get the glass so clean... if there are newly-
embedded jitter artifacts on a rendered file and you pass it
through another stage, you can't get it any cleaner.
We're not talking about rendering it more than once, we're
talking about the one & only rendering of the final mix to a two-
track file prior to mastering.
Unless I'm misunderstanding something here.

Thanks. I use Samplitude v9 so I was curious. I often find am-track to
be a little heavy handed or hard to control, so I go to the UAD-1 as a
first choice. Or maybe it just seems to run out of headroom really
fast? I should spend more time with it.
What I can't figure out is how the old SPITFISH works much better than
the new one in Samplitude!
GrahamNeil thats nice post...
So regarding mytek versus RME there is a big big difference.
RME is good until you hear something better.
My Lavry DA sounds fantastic !
So the most importanty conclusion if some other aggree here is that a very
good da and ad clocked by the same jitter minimal clock can produce a BETTER
sounding stereofile than just the rendered Paris or Cubase file.
Do we agree here ?

>NeilI'll agree with you if by saying: "a BETTER sounding stereofile
than just the rendered Paris or Cubase file" you mean the actual
final mix two-buss rendering or out-routed file AS IT'S BEING
CREATED. IOW, you're in an active mixdown, going from your
Multitrack files, through your 2-buss & either rendering it to
disk, or routing the L&R out through your convertors into
another device (tape, in your case) that will record the 2-track
mixdown.
If you're talking about an ALREADY-EXISTING 2-track mixdown that
already has jitter embedded in it, then no, you're not going to
be able to get rid of that. You could, in theory (by using a
good or well-clocked convertor to play that back as opposed to a
poorly-clocked convertor) eliminate any MORE jitter from
entering the picture, but that's about it.

It is not perfect, but I'm afraid nothing is. I used Logic for a time at
a place I worked but it kind of bugged me too.
I guess we should be thankful we have so many choices, compared to the
way Adobe has a virtual monopoly in the graphics area.

>(859) 635-5762Hello all,
Which would give me the biggest bang for the buck? and a mackie question.
I'm pretty content with using my Mackie 1604vlz preamps as instrument inputs
(using channel inserts as outputs to my 8-in card) and a PreSonus Eureka for
vocal inputs direct to the 8-in card. I don't record but a few tracks at a
time and only one vox at a time. Mostly overdubbing individual parts and
harmonies.
1. Mackie - I was told to use the channel inserts for the outputs instead
of the direct outs (channel 1-8) because of less noise. I leave the 1/4" TS
line half way in all the time so that I can still solo the mackie channel
for trim adjustment only. Do you think I'm getting the best signal, ie,
least amount of circuit noise and full signal at the first detent? It
sounds OK to me. btw - I use Paris's warmth, fullness, depth, space and
efx's to achieve most everything since I don't have any external processors.
2. DAC or Clock - I've got a simple system. One MEC with two 8-in cards
and a two card EDS with one C16. All black face, classic. I've had this
system since 1997-8 running 3.0 on XP. Chuck has said that the Paris clock
is decent but I'm reading many of you hear a clarity when using an external
clock and or a DAC. I'm a bit concerned when using a clock that the MEC
sample lite goes to 48k, but I guess I could live with it. Would an
external clock make a significant difference on a 1-MEC system or would a
DAConverter help clear up any muddyness or harshness more?
Thanks guys and gals for your expert opinions and real world analysis on
this.
Wayne CarsonAnyone know some good sites for impulses to use in SIR ? I am really impressed
with the PCM90 drum impulses on a snare with some PSP Vintage Warmer on it.
SweetI'm very happy with the Sytek I have, and it doesn't have any of the Burr-Brown
channels. I think it _is_ pretty much straight wire with gain, but it's that
kind of pre done right. It seems to marry up with almost any mic, so I tend
to choose it when I want a fast preamp. So when I want lots of the transient
of the source, meaning drum overheads, acoustic geetars, percussion (tambourines
and triangles seem to like the Sytek a lot), sometimes snare drum. I haven't
tracked any significant vocals since I got it, but it will be interesting
if and in what cases I prefer it to the DVC.
Anyway, a damn fine preamp for less than $200 per channel. Unlike a lot of
pres in that price range I have no problem plugging the fanciest mic I can
beg, borrow, or rent into it.

One problem, it's bullshit.

Read it and discover that the vietnam soldier was the most highly educated
group ever to serve. They have had the highest success in life, the fewest
mental problems, and the lowest drug addiction of any veterans in the
20th century.
The idea that the rich and connected all got out of vietnam and only
poor whites and blacks ended up there, is a lie.
Read that book and get hip. It may open up a whole new world for you...

Please..Did you see Oliver Stone's movie??
I peersonally know of many of my relatives( African Americans) poor who got
drafted and there where numerous whites sending their sons to college to
avoid the draft , and send to canada..
That's truth..
So, you can keep you most educated BS facts..!!

With all due respect, your friends and relatives are hardly a sample
size of which to base considering everything else BS. Here's another
perspective as well that seems fairly balanced:
http://www.rcnv.org/rcnv/archives/2003/militarydemographics. htm
My guess is you personally know more of your own demographic, therefore
a disproportionate amount of your demographic appears to be singled out
in comparison to the much smaller circle of any other demographic which
you might associate.
As Nappy says
Respect,

drives, no waiting. I believe you hold down "option" on boot and it
gives you the choice.
pabright, remembering more of it now.... FreakQ was the one that would foul up
on the lo pass band.. I think. Jeez. Old age sucks, heh...
PC Freebies was the one Chuck said to not install.
