    16 vs. 24 bit recording - what's the difference?

    yo buck62:D have you tried playing back more then 10 tracks at 24bit? The reason I ask is because I have played back 16 tracks recorded at 24/48 on several occasions. The usage meter shows about 66% when playing back 16 tracks. I was expecting the OS to give me an error message or just not...

    If you can wait a little while I would suggest you take a good look at the tascam DM-24. It is due out around spring this year. I read a very promising preview in December's EQ mag. Some specs are(all standard): 24/96 capability, 24 channels TDIFin/out, ADAT optical in/out, 2 AES/EBU in/out...

    Is a Rapper a Singer?

    "Every sound that comes from a human mouth has a pitch...so every vocal line has a melody...if it has more then one note." So anyone that talks is a singer, right?;) That's good news for me, bad news for the "good singers":D

    Digital Recorders

    what's up I have a DPS16 that I chose over the 1880 for a couple of reasons. First, I wanted something easy to use that had the best sounding converters possible. After A/Bing the roland and akai I decided the akai sounded better. Second, I didn't want to spend any more money then I had...

    Bouncing tracks on the DPS16

    bounce what's up 1. It doesn't matter what type of send the effects are using when you bounce, but it does make a slight difference in how it sounds, as I'm sure you know.:D 2. When you bounce the track you must turn the BUSS on for the track AND for the effects(EFFECT button/BUSS ON) 3...

    DPS 16 users

    I have been working on a couple of songs on my akai for a little while now and I have noticed something strange. When I create a new project at 24bit/48hz I can play back 16 tracks at a time. The meter that (I guess) tells you cpu usage doesn't max out or anything. It works just like 16bit...

    Question- Akai Dps16 and Burning CD's

    1. You should have enough room to record 4-8 tracks of a full practice, unless you run it at 24/96.;) 2. You will be able to mix and edit the songs as much as you want once they are recorded. The procedure for recording a CD is different depending on what type of burner you are using. I mix...

    cassette into Akai

    i use a couple of cables with RCA on one end an 1/4" on the other frequently. They will work perfect for going from the tape deck to the Akai. You should not have any problems with this at all.;)

    Question: Akia DSP 16

    do you have a SCSI burner(plextor, ricoh...) or a standalone(phillips, tascam...)? If you have a SCSI burner you just hook it up to the DPS's SCSI port and backup from the PROJECT menu. If you have a standalone i don't think that you can back up to it, but I am not sure.

    new alesis product

    http://www.alesis.com/products/hd24/index.html I have heard a lot of buzz about this recorder at some other sites, but no one has said anything about actually using one yet. I would suspect that they let people demo at NAMM, right?

    Compatible CD writers for Akai DPS16?

    I use an older ricoh burner. As far as I know almost all of the ricoh and plextor burners are compatable. If you have a question about a specific burner, you might get an answer from someone one this group. http://www.egroups.com/group/akaidps12 WARNING - If you subscribe to this group you...

    I'll buy the Akai DPS12i! No, the Fostex VF16! No, the Tascam 788! No, er - help!

    If you use Akai's MESA software you can edit with your PC. I have used it a couple of times and even though the DPS16's screen is big and clear, it is easier looking at a 19in monitor.;) Lately I have been using my PC exclusively for porn, and editing exclusively on my recorder.:) The only...
