Freaky
Greetings,
Thats a freaky suggestion....it would be cool to buy two 16 bit soundcards and get one 32bit input.
Just from a basic physics point of view however, it wouldn't work. An analoge sound signal is really an infinate collection of finite freqencies each at a specific amplitude. So you could sample 10,000 with one card, and 10,000 with another, but there is no reason they wouldn't sample the same information. You would have to specificaly design each one to sample a different range of frequencies, and then your back at the begining at trying to sample at a high bitrate again, which is what you were trying to avoid in the first place.
Its kinda like the Fourier transforms that are used in medical imaging that i studied briefly, taking a complex waveform and breaking it down to a collection of static waveforms of known frequencies- it allows you to digitize it by recording every frequency and amplitude, and then using a computer to recreate it as a 2D image. MRI's can do it in 3D i think by vibrating molecules in your body in a rotating magnetic field, reading the frequencies of the fluctuations produced, and then recreating the intensity of the signal (and thus the different types of biological tissue present, bone vs blood) with a computer into a 3D image. Its pretty cool stuff if i remember correctly.
I think that almost makes sense,
someone correct me if I am in error
