What facts are you basing this statement on???

That's where the interface/converter thing came from. Granted, the original statement was off topic, but he asked for further explination...

The fact that it's world famous because of it's software (not it's audio or midi capabilities) was the point I was trying to make from the start.

The great debate on converters, I agree, is one that will never end...

My new Presonus Firebox probably sports the best set of converters I've owned yet...despite this I've never had a complaint about my recordings/mixes/productions from any of my fans (not that I have millions...lol)

Trell Blaze, you're WAY over your head here.

I have a Firebox too and the converters are solid that's about all.

Work in a big studio with a serious PT or Logic or DP or Cubase or Nuendo or Sonar or Vegas setup, see what real Apogee converters and top of the line outboard gear can do for digital audio and then you can add your opinion to a thread like this.

In September 2007 we're betwixt and between, and until a new higher resolution CD / DVD / HDD is settled upon and released by the powers that be the difference between what you hear in a pro studio and what ends up being dithered down to a 16-bit 20+ year old format is huge.

Wow...I guess you didn't see the part where I said they're the best set of converters that i've OWNED....as in....I PAID MONEY FOR THEM AND NOW THEY'RE MINE. I've recorded in SEVERAL state of the art facilities and I'm very well aware of Apogee...i WISH i had a few Apogee units.

I am new to this board but I am NOT ameture so stop talking to me like one....eh?

I'm glad your here and of course your opinion is welcome. It is after all what makes these forums tick.

With all due respect.

You perhaps would do better to phrase your ideas as opinions not facts. You well may like Mytek or Apogee converters or SSL's much better than Digi's 192 and I'll defend your right and your ears to do so. But I'll guarantee you there are plenty of folks in the industry who really love their 192's and do STELLAR work with them.

You came right out and stated for the record "Digidesign HD interfaces aren't that great" That's a bold comment and it's bound to raise some hackles.

That said these forums are riddled with bad information and banter that helps no one. When you position your opinions as facts it aggravates some and confuses others and honestly it's a bit amateurish. This is a home recording forum and some folks here just haven't been around long enough to know how to seperate the fact from the wives tales......so give em a break

Thanks. I kinda figured the opinion part went without saying, but I get where you're coming from. I agree that great work can be done with just about anything (again, I've done some very good stuff with a simple Roland VS machine). I started building my own shit because engineers we were paying money that we didn't have just didn't know what they were doing with all that "state of the art" gear. I soon discovered that my Roland recordings (exported into Cubase for mixing) sounded much better. Why? They didn't give a shit how my stuff sounded...only that I was paying them. I care very much about my music - but not so much about what Sscientist thinks about my knowledge and/or spelling... :D
 
it's not what YOU GOT,it's how work WHAT YOU GOT,for sometime people around the way and different people me and my lil'brother would meet at talent show,clubs,the networking deal thought that we were using the mpc2000 and a triton "so call industry standard at the time in hip-hop"and we were using a casio keyboard,the boss dr-770 and a yamaha pawnshop sampler(which was hell to loop,and get a quality sound with).not that we are timberland and rick ruben but we held our own,now i will say that since our budget has allowed us to upgrade quite a bit life is much,much more easy.protools has been a lifesaver for us.in short "do what you do,with what you got as best you can"

Holy cow!!!

I'm certain I couldn't of said it better myself and (by the way) welcome to the forum!!

Now...........go take a breath.
 
Sample Tank

I do the MIDI by oencil in ProTools. Then I use Sample Tank (I have a simple edition that came with the bomb factory plugin in my MBox2) to emule the piano I was doing. I think is a simple method. You can also make your score in Guitar pro and then export the resultan MIDI into proTools. Then use Sample Tank again.
