I am new at recording and currently have a focurite ISA 220 channel
strip which I use on my front-end which goes directly into my aw1600 workstation. This is my signal chain currently
MIC ----> Focurite 220-----> AW1600 recorder
I decided to buy a Mac G5 for editing. I can transport vis USB after I record
onto my aw1600.
The question I have is about my A/D converter on my AW1600 being up to par for getting
a "good" signal or better phrased "how much better would my sound be
compared to a more advanced A/D converter. Here are the spec on my aw1600
AD Converter 24 Bit Linear / 64 Times Oversampling
DA Converter 24 Bit Linear / 128 Times Oversampling
Sampling Frequency 44.1kHz (-6% ~ +6%) Internal Clock
44.1kHz (-10% ~ +6%) External Clock
should I spend the money to buy a seperate audio interface and A/D converter once I get my computer. Or does the A/D converter not make that much of a difference, which in that case I would hook up my AW1600
to a computer via USB cord and just transfer the files.
any suggestions would be helpful .
thanks
