    D160(v2) digital input ROUTING question

    i'm thinking of picking up a D160 (or D160v2) for use in my home studio. i realize that these units have 20-bit A/D converters. i was "thinking" of using a higher resolution A/D converter to send a signal to the digital input of the D160(v2)...which i know is switchable between ADAT and SPDIF...

    Yamaha AW16G vs. AW2816

    easy,...EASY regebro. i'm sure the Caped Green Crusader was just trying to help. he loves his AW2816 (and understandably so,..it's a FINE machine). the Aw16G is DEFINETLY a step down from the AW4416 AND the AW2816. THAT SAID,...the 16G appears to be a nice little unit. i'll "attempt" to explain...

    Akai DPS16,..."16" TRACKS at 24-BIT????!!??????

    sorry, ad. when i mentioned the "16-track mix" thing i meant i'd SEND the mix FROM the dps16 TO the Masterlink. also, i understand the basic eq layout on the Q-link knobs. i know that the mid eq has a "sweepable" bandwidth as well,...i just wasn't sure how to adjust that (whether with the jog...

    need help: Monitors for ORCHESTRAL and AMBIENT applications??

    there must be certain monitors which work BETTER for certain "genres" of music than others. i am sure there are monitors that are well suited for a 3-piece "guitar/bass/drums" punk band as well as monitors that are better suited for an EXTREMELY "bass-heavy" hip-hop group. maybe durability...

    Akai DPS16,..."16" TRACKS at 24-BIT????!!??????

    thanks for the replies. that is really good news!! 16 tracks of playback at 24-bit!! very cool. i DO understand the "dithering" inevitability...BUT i own an Alesis Masterlink so at least i can fire a 24-bit SIXTEEN TRACK mix into it before i "dither". very, very good! p.s. i LOVE the fact that...

    Akai DPS16,..."16" TRACKS at 24-BIT????!!??????

    Akai doesn't advertise it,...but i've "heard" that the DPS16 is CAPABLE of 24-bit recording across ALL 16 tracks. at the price that these can be found for these days,..this seems pretty incredible. can any DPS16 users VERIFY this?? 16 tracks at 24bit/44.1kHz as well as 16 PHYSICAL faders and...

    D1624mkII????

    thanks for the replies. skippy, the "punch-out mute" issue,..is it THAT much of a problem? i "presume" it to be a moment of silence after the punch-in has been completed,...but is unnoticeable upon playback. is this correct? for the record,..i don't currently own a Fostex "d" series unit. my...

    D1624mkII????

    Fostex JAPAN lists the 1624mkII as one of its standard multitracks (all specs are in Japanese). it is an all black (gray?) unit like the D2424 with a remote in matching color. i understand that the D1624 has been discontinued (at least in terms of distribution) in the states (although D1624...

    Yorkville monitors

    thanks for the YSM-1 testimonial there Venomous Herbal Aerial Naviator. these monitors are a RARE product that gets positive reviews from both neophytes AND experienced veterans (and are certainly a safe bet). i guess i'll scrounge my AMS or MF catalog for an inexpensive amplifier to suit. i...

    Yorkville monitors

    these monitors seem to be pretty highly respected by almost everyone, and i've decided to purchase a pair. i checked out the Yorkville website only to find that they now offer an ACTIVE pair (as well as the old standby YSM passive models). i've reached a bit of a quandry. are active monitors...

    why dont studio monitors ever have speaker covers/grills?

    Blue, is the V8 your choice for most "accurate" studio monitor,..or the one that most "suits YOUR ears"??? Downside, what bass are you MISSING that an 8" nearfield woofer can't provide?? i'm certainly NOT being critical,..i'm just a bit curious.

    any REAL benefit using multi-pattern condensors for home recording??

    very soon i will purchase a matched pair of small diaphragm condensors for recording various acoustic guitars. i also am shopping for a large diaphragm condensor for use primarily on my own vocals (but might use on ethnic wind instruments). my studio is not what you'd call a "soundproof marvel"...
