Hi all:
Well, last night I got to experience first hand, the advantage & necessity of having a multichannel sound card.
Having just recently unpacked my studio gear from last year's move to a new home, I decided to "go Digital".
So, with 20 odd reels of 1/4" tape mastered on an old Tascam 338, I want to begin to transfer those old 8 track masters to digital.
Just to experiment, I ran a dual RCA out from the deck (one on track 1 - the other on track 2) to my Turtle Beach sound card used with Adobe Audition.
each track assigned to a track in the software.
Well, the first pair recorded nicely to their respective tracks in the software.
At this point, those 2 tracks were locked in timing.
And here's when I had a feeling that I might have some timing problems I've been reading about here & other forums.
I rewound the tape, hooked up the next two tracks, (3 & 4) and recorded those to Audition.
With the ability to "slide" the wave forms on a time line I was able to "sync" up the beginings of the 4 tracks together. That worked pretty slick, & I thought I was very clever at this pont!
But, by the time the tune ended (3+ minutes) the timing was off.
Any tips on syncing with a single stereo input sound card?
(other than getting a multiple input one, which is what I'll be doing soon enough)
I probably shouldn't spend too much time trying to sync up the pairs of tracks, eh?
Overall, I'm impressed the way Audition & that TB Santa Cruz card worked with the stereo pair.
Can't wait for the new sound card - I'm seriiously thinking about going with an Echo Audio product - either the LAYLA3G or the FIREAUDIO8.
Thanks for reading this far !!
