All you have is now
Here is a link to yet another 24 Bit A/D D/A HD recording system. I would appreciate comments on this from those of you in the HD recording know. I am putting it in the running with the digi 001 and the Ark 20/20. For the price and what it comes with this Wami Rack 24 looks like a contender. http://www.egosys.net/eng/egosys.html WaMi Rack is...
Uncompromised Quality Audio Interface
The sound card already installed on your PC is probably good
enough for the simple recording and playback needs, but if
you want to get clean 24 bit 120dB digital audio recordings
from an analog and digital (coaxial or optical) sources, WaMi
Rack is the answer - again. Moreover, with 8 analog outputs
to choose from, it's like having a separate digital mixer. You
can use the 8 outputs as if they were an 8 bus console or you
may want to use it to send digital audio tracks to your old
analog signal processing gear. Whatever your needs may be,
and however you use them, having 8 independent analog
outputs gives your digital audio system an incredible amount
of flexibility and freedom at your fingertips to expand your
creativity.
Professional Quality - No compromises
24 bit PCI audio, +4 dBu analog levels, optical and coaxial
S/PDIF, BNC connectors for word clock, 120 dB dynamic
range. Just check out the specs. If the numbers don't mean
much to you, just listen and explore the possibilities. We
didn't compromise on anything except the price. Give it a good
bang, but before you do, though, keep in mind that WaMi
Rack's case is made with scratch-resistant cast iron and steel.
4 In / 4 Out Professional MIDI Interface
WaMi Rack's 4 in/4 out MIDI interface provides 64 MIDI
channels, which means you can assign a unique MIDI
channel to 64 different MIDI instruments. 4 MIDI inputs allow
wider selection of MIDI controllers easy access to system
exclusive messages from your MIDI gear, without the
constant re-shuffling of MIDI cables and patch bays.
SMPTE Interface and Word Clock Sync
Need to sync your MIDI and audio programs to tape
recorders? Your analog recorders may be heavy and bulky,
but they can never be replaced by anything digital. Analog is
back, and it will never go away. WaMi Rack's SMPTE
interface will give you frame-accurate synchronization with
any tape based storage device. SMPTE interface has a variety
of applications in virtually all post-production work. Whether
you need to sync to MTR, VTR or film, or simply with other
MIDI equipped devices, WaMi Rack's SMPTE Interface
solves all your synchronization needs.
Your digital audio needs word clock sync?
No problem if you have a WaMi Rack. Get sample accurate
digital transfers from any digital devices and lock your PC's
audio programs to other digital devices (such as digital mixers)
at word clock level.
