Ah yes, how quickly I forget. In that case the article is quite stupid. :D

I was using a Multiface, but anyway what I did was get a cheap BNC cable to connect the wordclock out to the wordclock in on the ADA8000. Works OK for me. I think at first I had them linked with the ADAT in using the ADA8000 as master, so I'm not sure why that isn't working for you. Do you...

As long as you don't sum your ears to mono, I guess you will be OK either way. ;) I don't really have much problem with the way he describes the magical "3 to 1 Rule" in the article. The thing that bothers me is when people think you have to put the second mic exactly 3 times as far away and...

And sometimes the A/D is passable on an interface, but it is the D/A where it falls on its face a bit and leaves you with that not-so-fresh feeling...Hmmm so hard to know sometimes...

Wow, you are clearly insane! :D What are you planning on doing to cover the fiberglass and hold it in place?

Yeah, I don't think SPI are probably set up well to deal with "the little guy." But I was able to get a shipment from them into town (200 miles from KC) on a truck with little hassle and reasonable rates. Only thing is I had to go pick it up from the truck hub place and load it in my car --...

I've been messing around with this issue at home as well. My latest idea is using concrete blocks under them--the kind that are like 5 or 6 inches thick and about a foot long like you can get at Lowes, etc--and then put some Mopads on top of that. My desk is a little wobbly, so I figure...

In that case, I guess I would maybe open up a new 24bit Cubase session at whatever your DAT sample rate is (it will be either 48K or 44.1K), transfer from DAT to computer via SPDIF, do your edits in Cubase, export as a 24bit wav file at the same sample rate again, then burn the files onto a CD-R...

4-inch program? What the devil is that? Anyway, if you truly are giving this to a mastering engineer, I would check with them as far as what format they want. If they are legit, they should be able to work with whatever your best version is, and in this case it is your original DAT mixdown...

Nor could we receive signals from an alien satellite if our lives depended on it... :D :rolleyes: Same difference I guess.

I might also note, this was done in a destructive wave editor (CoolEdit) just so I could see what happens to a higher amplitude wave if it were instead put into a lower amplitude range of bit values. Luckily I don't think we have to worry about this in most DAW mixing applications, but I think...

Yeah, that's the one I linked a few posts back. Somehow you can pretty much read the entire book from that link it seems... pretty cool stuff (for nerds)

Funny you should mention this. I was screwing around with sample values and such the other day and I generated some pink noise within the DAW. I took note of the first 10 samples, dropped the gain by like 30db, raised the gain back up by 30db, and all the values were off by a surprising...

Word. I am just turning into even less of a fan of 16bit. Too bad there isn't 24bit Redbook CD-DA. :( Then again, who cares!? :) All very interesting though...

I call it "Cool Edit." :p Not real sure what you are getting at here, but let me ask this: Below -60db, is +/-34 different possible levels enough to accommodate any possible analog waveform 0-22000Hz (-90db floor)? I hope your waveform happens to be in sync with the converter so that the...

Depends on how much I want to smash and boost that particular instrument track after it has been recorded. Maybe I want those tails down around -60 to be brought up nearer to the -20 average. ;)

Ah come on, let's not take the easy way out just yet, let's explore a little more... So at what point does it matter how far off the amplitude of a sample is? Would an inaccuracy of .5db matter to you? Cause I think that is about where it is once you get around -65. You try to feed -64.4...

Quite likely, yes. Just trying to figure out some concepts. I have no problem with the idea that our gear and even our converters are set up to operate around 0VU. And I'm not having problems keeping my levels in check on the way in either. I am starting to think there is a slight flaw in the...

OK let's try this: Would it be true that it is possible for a signal going into an A/D approaching full scale will be able to represent much smaller changes in db than a signal approaching 0VU could represent? So like, a signal coming in at -18 could only vary by as fine as a .02db step...
