Stupid I guess....??? I love it when inexperienced people jump to conclusions and call something a POS, when in reality they are just too lazy to read the manual and do some reading and research on inputs & output connections of their own audio gear and they also do not understand proper audio...

If it is 5 volts DC voltage you can use a white LED with a resistor to cut it down to 3 volts for using one, two or three LED lights for the VF-160 back lit screen illumination.

I know this is an old thread & people do not appreciate these VS machines anymore but I find the Roland VS-1680 and upper models very easy to use without a manual most of the time, unless of course you are doing a lot of editing and recording your effects on tracks. Also the Roland VS line has...

Very good advice on digital audio quality, only one A/D conversion when recorded, and then only one D/A conversion when played back from CD master, thanks I will try to do that and see how my sound improves. Best regards, Aaron

Yes thank you for that information, I did not know that op-amps are not digital, and 32 bit audio has really high headroom, even higher recording levels than analog tape. Very interesting good stuff to add to anyones knowledge. As far as conservative audio levels, I agree with you. My example...

Jay, like I have been saying all along, I never said record too hot ! I guess you did not really comprehend what I said. Do you understand how digital audio converters work ? All digital audio converters are made to record at their highest possible audio resolution when audio levels are closest...

Exactly, I do agree also that digital can sound like anything, even analog gear, so in that respect if digital can have the same character and same sound quality of any audio signal it samples(records), then it does seem to represent the audio signal very accurately. For example if you record a...

Very true indeed.

Well to answer your question:" Is a mechanical watch analogue?" Yes it most certainly is. Kind of funny that some in society have coined that term "analogue" and or "analog" as meaning something mechanical in nature and with no digital processing chips. I guess the real term for analogue is...

Great discussion everyone here', Thank you I have opened my mind up more to digital now, I'm not saying I just use analogue gear, or the American spelling of "analog". I do use digital allot now a days because you can't solicit music without going into a digital format. And you can not...

You said "Definition of analog: A person or thing seen as comparable to another." Your definition above is the wrong terminology of what we are talking about here, what the term "analog" means here is: it means analog signal capturing of the original pure audio wave signal, as in "analog wave...

That is why I said this: However with a analog signal going into analog gear (unless it is being recorded into a analog tape machine) it does not change the original analog signal, it does not physically change it or sample it, unless of course you want it to. For example, changing the original...

If I might add to your excellent observations of using digital verses analog audio; With digital you also have to worry allot about the way you dither down to lower sample rates, such as going from your recorded 24 bit audio down to say 16 bit audio for CD mastering. If you do not do this...

Well the thing I argue about, not trying to be forcing my opinions on anyone, is that the analog tape medium can be, and in my opinion is far more accurate than digital because of its analog sampling resolution. 2" analog tape will be as close as you can get to storing the original analog audio...

: I have been in double blind test and I can tell the difference. True there is no real winner here. What I really think it is, is a matter of economic choice, high speed transfers and almost unlimited abilities that digital has over analog. It can also be proven that digital is both easier...

To each his(her) own......what really matters is the music playing writing process. Exactly to each his own, likes and dislikes, more importantly just focus on making the music great and then worry about the mastering process, or not. It is entirely up to you'..........play and sing on then'...

The same is true with Digital gear as well, it really depends on the quality of the electronics. That said, I still believe in most analog gear capturing the original analog signal better than digital can because with good analog gear the sampling quality is infinite. However with digital...

Well remember it is just a Nyquist theory, but the fact is this, that nothing is better than the original analog wave form audio source. Digital sampling comes close enough for most ears.....just stating the facts here that we live in a analog World, even though humans mathematically process...

It means Analog and Digital resolution differences in capturing audio accurately. What It actually means is the differences between Analog and Digital resolution in capturing audio accurately. For Analog audio, everything is analog in the real World we all live in. You have to capture analog...

I just happened to find an old Marantz EC-5 Superscope condenser mic on ebay that takes one 1.5v AA batery, it sounds really good on vocals and just about anything. Harvey can I ask you these questions, can I use higher voltage battery on this mic and it should give me a higher signal to noise...
